Test will be about the Pythagorean Theorem! KNOW IT!
iPass
iPASS stands for an "Individual Prescription for Achieving State Standards," which reflects two of its most important features:
It is a fully-automated, web-based math curriculum and instruction system that provides individualized instruction to meet the identified needs of each student while freeing up the teacher to monitor and facilitate learning on a one-to-one basis. It provides the following functions without requiring teacher intervention:
The curriculum is designed for Math Intervention in Grades 3 through 8 as well as High School students in support classes. It provides an efficient yet comprehensive coverage of content in Grades 1 through 8. It is highly aligned with the NCTM Focal Points and the recommendations of the National Math Advisory Panel and covers all the core concepts necessary for success in elementary grades, middle grades as well as Algebra or Integrated Math in High School.
Your child will be receiving a user id and password on October 12th to access iPass. They can then access the program from home and/or school. For more information visit http://ilearn.com/AboutiPass.asp
I will be taking the students to the lab for iPass through-out the year. I expect students to also be completing iPass at home. They can work on the program when they do not have math homework. I will assign iPass periodically as a classwork grade.
iPASS stands for an "Individual Prescription for Achieving State Standards," which reflects two of its most important features:
- It is prescriptive at a very detailed level - that is, instruction is matched to the specific concept and skill deficits of individual students.
- It is mastery-based, which means students achieve mastery of each standard as a prerequisite for progress through the program.
It is a fully-automated, web-based math curriculum and instruction system that provides individualized instruction to meet the identified needs of each student while freeing up the teacher to monitor and facilitate learning on a one-to-one basis. It provides the following functions without requiring teacher intervention:
- All pre- and post-assessment
- Placement
- Original instruction
- Systematic practice
- Review
