1. Personalize Practice with Accelerated Math White Settlement ISD
Outcomes for this session:
Understanding AM and the basic cycle of AM
Introducing AM to students

2. This is Accelerated Math !

3. When all attendees have finished doing the problems, ask them to look at the assignment on the slide with you so you can point out a few things.
Hide this sequence of slides if you do not want to use them while giving the instructions.

4. First, the type of assignment is at the top.

5. Notice that your name is on your sheet.

6. Point out the class and school information.

7. Have them circle the form number – that’s important.

8. Point out where the sheet indicates the objective(s) included in their assignment.

9. Finally, tell them to look at their work and circle their answers on the assignment sheet.
They should also write the letter that indicates the right answer next to the number, as shown.
Give them a minute to complete the task.

10. Here’s the next step Complete all items on your practice
Try to get some wrong (I know it is tough!)
STOP!
Tell attendees the next step is to fill out the scan card. This first time, you want to walk them through it (next several slides).

11. Filling out a NEW scan card
Ask attendees to find the scan card on page 37 of their Getting Results Guides if the scan card on the screen is too difficult to see.
The next group of slides will explain how students fill out scan cards.
Although your students might be familiar with scan cards already, there are a few steps that are unique to Accelerated Math assignments. If you’d like to review these steps with your students, you can jot them down by number 3 in your handouts.

12. 1. Write your name
First, students will write their name along the right side as shown.

13. 2. Check the assignment type
To the left of their name, they’ll check the assignment type.
Ask: What will your students check?
Correct answer: Practice (Detroit should only be using Practice assignments to start)

14. 3. Write the form number
Next, write the form number. Students will find the form number on their assignments – right in the middle, near the top.

15. 4. Bubble the form number
They’ll also need to bubble that form number right below.

16. 5. Bubble the answers
Finally, they’ll bubble the answers. This student wrote her answers next to the item numbers so she could find them easily.
Possible question: It looks like there’s a lot of room left on this scan card. Will students use a new one each time?
Renaissance Response: Students will reuse a scan card until it’s filled up. This student’s next Practice will start with number 7 and she’ll begin filling in her answers on the scan card right where she left off. That’s why it’s important for students to hold on to their scan cards. One way of doing that is to have them keep scan cards in their Accelerated Math folders as we discussed earlier.

17. Students also work through a cycle
Within this larger classroom cycle, students work through their own practice, test, and review cycle. They’ll practice content until they know it, test to show mastery, and review to cement learning. In future sessions we’ll learn more about this student cycle.
For now, let’s return to the big ideas and share some of your thoughts and questions.
