So the chapter 5 exam has gone now, and overall scores were not spectacular. My 1B class happened to have a class average a little higher than my 2A class, so they won the doughnuts and are excited to win, but disappointed in the class average not reaching the goal we set out to achieve.
Something new has occurred with these last 2 exams. It seems multiple choice questions are driving my students crazy at the moment. Luckily, the next unit has parts of our chapters 6 & 7 mixed around, and so the plan is to have 3 quizzes over this time frame and I am going to put multiple choice problems on it for practice.
This unit should be interesting as the overall topic is about finding the area of shapes. Usually this is a chapter where students feel like they can do it, but then discover the problems are harder than they think. We are off to a good start though, the first homework assignment was worked on hard be both groups. We shall see!
