Today 8th graders got a first hand glimpse at the importance of math practice.
Math practice allows students for mistakes to be made BEFORE the quiz.
Mistakes are necessary for learning.
But when math practice is not completed,
Mistakes can't be made,
And learning is at a standstill.
Today we reflected on our first quiz we took on Friday.
It was eye-opening to see the impact that practice actually makes on a quiz grade.
The average score for students completing all their practice before the quiz was a 74.5%
The average score for students NOT completing all their practice before the quiz was almost 20 points lower...55%!
74.5%...basically a C grade.
Compared to 55%...an F.
Practice is needed.
Practice does make a difference!
Practice helps us all learn math!!
Every moment is an experience...an experience of observing, participating, learning, understanding, applying. This is true in math class as well. Join our math experience and be a part of the moments that shape our math learning.
