Yesterday (Wednesday) we had a math test on circles: radius, diameter, and circumference. After the test, I felt that I needed to re-teach the concepts.
So, today, Thursday, I'm reviewing the test, going over the answers with them. Tomorrow, I will give a very similar test.
My suggestion is that the students study their test from yesterday as practice for tomorrow's retake. The concepts will be the same, but the numbers will be different.
Because I really want the students to do well, I've said that the spelling test will be on Monday instead. The only homework for tomorrow is the math test.
Now, I'm not entirely sure this will work, but I'm trying it. If you go to www.xtranormal.com, you will find a video I made for this topic. Go to "Watch Movies" and search for "circles" or "teachingcircles". There should be a video by cookieteacher72 (me) that teaches this concept a little more. It may or may not work, but you can try!
