Mr. Parmeter's Algebra 1 classes are practicing for the upcoming Keystone exams. Along with periodic chapter reviews, keystone worksheets, and practice examples in class, the Algebra 1 students prepare for the test by taking CDT's, which are classroom diagnostic tests. This test tells the students what they know and what they need to work on for the upcoming test at the end of May. The CDT test show the students content the may have missed, done poorly on, or need to review to get a better understanding of the Algebra they need to be successful in the class, on the state test, and for any class they may take after Algebra 1.The CDT is just one of many classroom tools we use to help students better prepare for the test, and the world in which we live in.

Last week in Chill Lessons, students took part in a “Shape Solver Challenge.” In this engaging activity, students worked on enhancing their problem-solving, communication, and critical thinking skills. In pairs, one student kept their eyes closed while the other provided verbal instructions to recreate a specific pattern.
The challenge focused on the importance of clear communication, adaptability, and teamwork. Students practiced problem-solving through trial and error, remaining calm under pressure, managing big emotions, making timely and confident decisions, paying attention to details, collaborating with others, and thinking outside the box.
