Reply To: Lesson 5-6: Question

[Stephanie Pritchett]

I recently had a “planned” pivot to my lesson plan, not exactly what was taught in this lesson.:) It helps me see the value of pivoting to ensure students learn core concepts before moving on. I taught this curriculum for a couple years and I felt that the curriculum was weak in explaining the connections between linear models. Because of the things I’ve learned in this class I remember an activity from a different curriculum that was very good at making connections between growth and beginning points. I inserted the lesson this week and I felt like it did such a good job at helping students make those connections.
