This will REALLY help the kids when they get to high school. It allows for better scaffolding when they are repeatedly exposed to deeper content that goes beyond the TEKs. ]]> 2021-08-11 15:37:17 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholsk13_3/q2leuv3zv4vr58kv/wish/1675634680 https://padlet.com/nicholsk13_3/q2leuv3zv4vr58kv/wish/1675635696 Help introduce statistics (very basic) so they aren't lost when advanced science courses use stats. ]]> 2021-08-11 15:38:01 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholsk13_3/q2leuv3zv4vr58kv/wish/1675635696 Don't baby them too much https://padlet.com/nicholsk13_3/q2leuv3zv4vr58kv/wish/1675635788 It gives them a disadvantage going into high school; many of my old coworkers made this complaint about middle school teachers :(]]> 2021-08-11 15:38:05 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholsk13_3/q2leuv3zv4vr58kv/wish/1675635788 you are all amazing https://padlet.com/nicholsk13_3/q2leuv3zv4vr58kv/wish/1675635908 2021-08-11 15:38:11 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholsk13_3/q2leuv3zv4vr58kv/wish/1675635908 use TEKS common vocabulary https://padlet.com/nicholsk13_3/q2leuv3zv4vr58kv/wish/1675635989 2021-08-11 15:38:14 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholsk13_3/q2leuv3zv4vr58kv/wish/1675635989 Don't baby them too much https://padlet.com/nicholsk13_3/q2leuv3zv4vr58kv/wish/1675636059 It gives them a disadvantage going into high school; many of my old coworkers made this complaint about middle school teachers :(]]> 2021-08-11 15:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholsk13_3/q2leuv3zv4vr58kv/wish/1675636059 Don't baby them too much https://padlet.com/nicholsk13_3/q2leuv3zv4vr58kv/wish/1675636280 It gives them a disadvantage going into high school; many of my old coworkers made this complaint about middle school teachers :(]]> 2021-08-11 15:38:26 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholsk13_3/q2leuv3zv4vr58kv/wish/1675636280 Calculating density and speed can be difficult for students in 6th grade that are not confident with long division with decimals. https://padlet.com/nicholsk13_3/q2leuv3zv4vr58kv/wish/1675636511 2021-08-11 15:38:33 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholsk13_3/q2leuv3zv4vr58kv/wish/1675636511 I know balancing equations aren't in the TEKS anymore for 8th graders.
