The first advisory was really all about knowing my students' characteristics, their learning styles, and in what level of their learning. I started the first advisory by giving my students a diagnostic test. Ninety percent of them had difficulty on operating fractions and signed numbers. From time to time, I had to give mini lessons on fractions and signed numbers. Students were fast in following the routines and procedures that I set up for our classes. They also got used to having homework every meeting. Students learned about variables in Algebra, Exponents and Powers, Order of Operations, Equations and Inequalities, A Problem Solving Plan Using Models, Tables and Graphs, An Introduction to Functions, The Real Number Line, Addition of Real Numbers, and Subtraction of Real Numbers.
During the first advisory, students finished 20 homework assignments, 13 quizzes, 3 short cycle assessments, and one test. For their project, each student created his/her own weblog to post his/her journals of his/her learning reflection in Math class.
When we were starting the advisory, only 10% of the class were getting the proficiency level (80% or above correct answers on assigned tasks). As we ended the first advisory, 50% of the class were getting the proficiency level.
We started our Saturday classes at 9:00 to 12:00 am for students who need more intervention in math. We also have tutoring at 8:10 am, lunch time, and after school.
