Math Class Agenda - First Day

Survived the first day with my students!

I am teaching 2-Grade 7 Math classes, 3-Grade 8 Math Classes and 1-Grade 9 Math Class

Today's plan was very simple but repetitive

1. Greet and Welcome the students
2. Attendance
3. Introduce myself
4. Course Outline
5. Expectations
6. Routines & Behaviour
7. Attendance
8. Supplies

Activity:

Students were asked to write the answers to the following questions on a slip of paper.  This activity was used as an 'Exit Slip' giving them practice in the classroom routines of getting supplies and handing something in.

1. Where they prefer to sit (Front, Back, Middle, Sides etc)
2. Anything I should know about them such as hearing or visions issues
3. The first word that comes to mind when they hear the word 'Math'
4. What they like or dislike about Math class

I have used Question #3 to create a Word Cloud to represent their thoughts and feelings about Math Class.
