I took a look at day 1 lesson for 8th grade students in general education setting. I will be teaching the intervention (pull out class of 8th grade students). I was actually greatly surprised at what they will be doing on day 1- Exponents! I am not confident that my students will recognize an exponent or know what a number raised to an exponent is.
After listening to yesterday’s podcast, Misconceptions About Teaching Students Who Struggle With Math I decided I will start where the general education is starting…. but I feel like I will be behind by day 2. Day 2 the general education continues with exponents by using exponents to write prime factorization of numbers.
