"Back To Basics" Boot Camp
Submitted by: Morgan, Baker, Bolton, 6th Grade Math, Livingston Junior High School
Livingston Junior High - The 6th Grade Math Department at Livingston Junior High is utilizing a cooperative learning approach for reviewing the grade level TEKS. The students are assigned to a group with students from the other classes to rotate through three separate skill lessons. After each 3 day rotation, the students are assessed on the skills they learned. So far, we have completed three rotations and are beginning the fourth. Students are already showing great progress just by hearing the information from a different teacher. Also, the change of scenery never hurts when trying to keep kids energized. Through a collaborative effort between the 6th grade teachers, our students are benefiting from a wealth of knowledge representing a quarter century of experience. There is no doubt that our students will be fully prepared on the day of the math TAKS.
