The Algebra Teacher's Guide to Reteaching Essential Concepts and Skills
Many students have trouble grasping the algebra concepts they need to know to pass standardized tests and move on to higher mathematics. The Algebra Teacher's Guide to Reteaching Essential Concepts and Skills is a hands-on resource that offers valuable tips and lessons for teaching all students – but especially those who are struggling – the complexities of algebra.
In simple terms, the authors outline 150 classroom-tested mini-lessons that focus on the algebra concepts students most often find difficult to understand: integers, variables, expressions, rational numbers, equations, inequalities, graphs of points and lines, functions, and more. Each lesson requires only a few minutes of instruction and can be used with individual students, groups, or the whole class. Also included are reproducible work-sheets that are designed to review and reinforce algebra concepts and key skills.
The worksheets can be used as
Remediation to master material
Reinforcement of learned material
Closure of the day's topic
Do-nows for review of the previous day's work
Sponge activities to fill transitional times (for example, when some students complete class work sooner than others)
The Algebra Teacher's Guide to Reteaching Essential Concepts and Skills will help ensure that all students really "get" the algebra they need to know.
