6th GRADE STUDENT DATA NOTEBOOKS!!!

 

WAHOO!!!  I finally finished my first SIXTH GRADE product!!! :-D  STUDENT DATA NOTEBOOKS!!!  In this product, every single 6th grade math CCSS is broken apart and written in student-friendly language.  Then, there is a spot where the students can track their progress from FIST TO FOUR:

Students use this rubric to assess themselves "FROM FIST TO FOUR WITH COMMON CORE" for every CCSS.  BUT NO WORRIES... I already broke down and rewrote all of the 6th grade math CCSSs in kid-friendly language.  Also, they are broken down so that each space for the students to track their progress is focused on a specific part of the standard.  (For example, instead of "Students will be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals," the standard is broken up into the four specific skills.)

Here is an example of the pages for the 6th Grade Ratios & Proportional Relationships unit data notebook pages:

As you can see, each CCSS unit has the following portions of the data notebook:

• Common Core Standards pulled apart and written in kid-friendly language
• EXAMPLES of each standard
• Space for students to shade in their progress from FIST 2 FOUR
• Pre- & Post- Assessment data tracking (data, score, level of mastery)
• UNIT GROWTH algorithm and tracking

Here is a picture of one of my former student's completed data notebook pages (from 5th grade):

You can put these Data Notebook pages in a duo-tang folder like you see above, in a binder, or in a filing cabinet.  I like to make these for my students one unit at a time.  I have them keep all of their assessments, notes, and materials, in this folder for the whole common core unit.  Then, I keep their folder at the end of the unit, and give the folders back after I do their report cards for that trimester.  That way I have EVERYTHING I need to give the students the most accurate and useful grades and comments on their report card.

These Data Notebooks ALSO include HOMEWORK TRACKING and MATH SKILLS (8 Mathematical Practices) TRACKING!!!

These are all beyond helpful when doing report cards and talking with parents.  The best part of all, though, is that students are able to report their own progress and growth at any given time!  

These Data Notebooks CHANGED MY LIFE as an educator!  Get yours today!!!

    

4TH GRADE           5TH GRADE           6TH GRADE

I hope that these work as well in your classroom as they have in mine!!!  Let me know if you have any questions!!

And for now...

Christmas in July Sale - WAHOO!!!

Close your eyes and think about the 2 BEST TIMES OF THE YEAR... Got 'em?!  My guess is that most of you said CHRISTMAS and SUMMER TIME!  Am I right?!  Well guess what's better than each of those times individually?!  

THE CHRISTMAS IN JULY SALE!!!

Thanks to BLOG HOPPIN', there is a HUGE TpT Christmas in July Sale going on from NOW until July 25th!!!  Tons of AMAZING sellers are discounting their products for this sale... I cannot wait to start my own shopping!!

GUESS WHAT!?  My TpT Store - ELYSE JAHNKE - is in on the deals as well, and I am starting off my sales with my 20% off my HUGE COMMON CORE MATH ASSESSMENT BUNDLES for 4th & 5th grades from NOW UNTIL FRIDAY!!!  

I put up my 5th grade assessment packs last summer, and they are my BEST SELLERS at my store!  So, I finally finished creating the 4th grade versions, and they are up at my store now... ON SALE... for 20% OFF!!!  

I recently blogged about my PRE- AND POST- ASSESSMENT PACKS on my blog post titled To Pre-Assess or NOT to Pre-Assess.  Those assessments are my big CCSS unit "TESTS".  

My P.O.M. (Proof Of Mastery) PACKS are more like quick "QUIZZES" or "EXIT SLIPS" for each and every math Common Core standard.  

WHAT IS A P.O.M.?!

In short--P.O.M. stands for Proof Of Mastery.  In long... well... here I go:

How do I use these, you ask?!  I use them as check-ins/quizzes/exit slips for each of the CCSSs.  Once I teach a standard, and I feel my students (or a group of students) have mastered the standard, they can take the P.O.M.--IF they feel ready.  If they do not feel ready the day the P.O.M. is given, they can use that time to study or work with me on the standard.  They then take the P.O.M. the next day--or when they are ready.  (Students always want to take their P.O.M.!  I never had any student put off all their P.O.M.s!!  No worries!)

Then, as the students finish their P.O.M.s, they turn it in to their math workshop group folder.  (This makes it easier for me to log their scores and pass back their P.O.M.s.)

Now, I am the WORST when it comes to grading papers.  I HATE IT!  Yes, I said it--I am a teacher, and I HATE grading papers.  When I have a stack of papers to grade, they usually STAY IN A STACK until report card time comes around OR I decide to not grade them at all.  (GUILTY!)  However, I feel that these P.O.M.s are super important and provide me with a great deal of useful information--i.e. who is ready to move on, who needs reteaching, what misconceptions do my kids have, how did I do with teaching this standard, what are some good tips that the kids had that I can use with my struggling students, etc.  SO I CAME UP WITH A SYSTEM!  As the students are turning in their P.O.M.s, I am grading them!  YES--in the classroom, as the students are turning them in, that day!  This way, I can give my students IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK and call students up to CLARIFY THEIR THINKING!  I then, THAT DAY, pull groups of students who need RETEACHING!  THAT DAY!!!  Because these assessments are SO QUICK -- each one is only ONE PAGE -- I am able to grade them RIGHT THEN AND THERE!  

Next, I can then record their grades in my STANDARDS BASED GRADE BOOK.

And the kids record their scores in their data notebook.  They also keep their assessments in the assessment pocket of their Data Notebook Folder.

That's just another quick look into my Math Workshop!  I'd love to hear more ways you teach CCSSs in your class, how these products have worked for you, or any questions you have for me in the comments below!!  Remember, various items will be on sale in my store throughout all of CHRISTMAS IN JULY!  HAPPY SHOPPING!!!
