7 Teacher tallies up data keeping track of students that get all 4 problems of one topic correct. If 90% or more of the class gets all 4 problems correct for that topic, then that topic is removed and replaced with a new topic. If less than 90% of the class gets all 4 problems correct then the topic stays for the next cycle. (type of problem may need to be adjusted based on student data)

How many students got all 4 problems correct? Convert to a percentage.. As a teacher, what would you do next?

Turn to a neighbor and discuss : a) What are the requirements to change a category? b) What considerations do you make if a high percentage of students don’t pass a category? c) What is one thing that resonates with you or reaffirmed your practices? d) What is one thing you would like/need clarification on? e) What is one new thing you are going to use?
