Change is vital to progress!!

Changes in Akimel A-al

• New approach to teaming• The student’s pod is where the majority of their

classes are• 3rd Hour is the student’s homeroom

Great Academic Support• Learning Lab

– Monday–Friday from 7:30 – 8:15AM each morning – Students must arrive at the front gate promptly at

7:30 am where they will be greeted by a teacher and escorted upstairs.

– Late students cannot be admitted. • Homework Club During Lunch

– Student can ask to attend or be assigned by teacher

– Student needs a HW Club Pass– They eat lunch and complete homework

Life in the 8A Pod Area

• Bathroom Use– Encouraged to use natural breaks in their day – 8 passes for bathroom/drinks during class

each quarter– 10/10 Policy: Students cannot leave the

classroom in the first and last 10 minutes of class

• Snacks– First 5 minutes of class– Limit to Individual size-sharing is BIG

distraction

Ms. Hawkins’Academic Lab

• 6th Period for 53 minutes on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday.

• Students will earn a letter grade in Ac Lab

• 1st Quarter—Math Intervention• 2nd Quarter—Math Applications• 3rd Quarter—Math Applications• 4th Quarter—Math Applications

Ac LabMath Applications

Students will learn how to apply their math skills in real-life situations!

Students will learn…• How to use Microsoft Excel• How to use a graphing calculator• How to make a budget• About credit cards, interest, mortgages• How to plan a vacation, model a house, etc.• How math is used in sports, video games, careers• Tricks on how to solve problems in their head

that are aligned to Arizona State Common Core Standards

– Algebraic Expressions and Equations– Graphing Linear Equations– Mathematical Operations– Mastery of Basic Skills (Percents, Fractions,

Decimals)– Probability– Logical Reasoning– Data Analysis– Geometry and Measurement– Transformations

Major Focus

• Concentration on Conceptual and Procedural Knowledge as well as Math Communication

• Algebraic concepts and reasoning such as working with variables, simplifying and evaluating algebraic expressions and solving algebraic equations.

• Solid geometry, geometric relationships, and logical thought

Mathematics

Common Core Practices

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the

reasoning of others 4. Model with mathematics 5. Use appropriate tools strategically 6. Attend to precision 7. Look for and make use of structure 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated

reasoning
