Each day, students complete a Warmup that usually consists of spiraling the previous day's material, in addition to older material. Warm-up problems also sometimes extend lessons that students have encountered before to more unfamiliar contexts.
For a video narrative about how I structure each lesson, and how the warm-up fits in, click here.
I really like the warm-up problems today, because they push kids to apply their understanding to unfamiliar problems - in this case, focusing on matching the equivalent graphs and equations... I like to ask: "Which answer choice is wrong, and why?" Kids then use reasoning about the positive or negative nature of the slope, as well as where the line crosses the y-axis, which enriches their understanding of multiple representations of linear functions.
The Homework contains 6 problems related to this lesson, as well as spiraled review. I also give the kids the answers to the problems.
Sometimes, the HW file is a take-home assessment.
