Discussed Data
Is there a better way to collect data? No this is fine but we changed the
percentage cut off to mastery 75-100%, partial mastery being 6074.99% and not yet mastered as less than 60.
We will add a column to report what accommodations (note cards,
extra time, hint on a problem etc) were given.
How did the unit go?
Kristina and Kens kids need practice on setting up and solving
equations. Ken spent extra time, Kristina will add a day to practice.
Matt had to spend a lot of time going over vocab. Kristines kids
struggle setting up supplementary equations they only set one angle
equal to 180.
Pacing
Kristine, Matt, Paige are testing January 21. Ken and Kristina are testing
the 25 and 26 .

#6 instead of find missing side lengths and angles
#7 remove the word congruent
Also add quadrilaterals stuff.
I can identify quadrilaterals by properties.
I can determine if a quadrilateral is a parallelogram using slope,
distance and midpoint.
Matt asked where can I find the whole unit?... it is all part of the old
unit 5, just now broken into 3 parts, unit 4, unit 5 and then trig.
Ran out of time but the unit 5 test looks good for now; we will go over
it the next meeting.
We will shoot for giving the test on February 22/23.
For the next meeting
PLC assignments stay the same. Matt make sure our notes have a
different color paper for each page
Ken will prepare the updated I can statements. Matt will have the first
quiz covering dilation done by next Friday.
