Mathematical Practices Put Into Use

http://www.insidemathematics.org/common-core-resources

This website really does a great job of breaking down the eight mathematical practices and applying them individually to all different grade levels. It includes videos, text, and real life situations in real life classrooms.

I can pull great ideas from the videos shared on this website and apply them directly to my class. Since there are example of videos in all different grade levels, I can get a good idea of what the practices should look like in different scenarios I may run into in my career.

Quick and to the Point Assessments

http://mrstsfirstgradeclass-jill.blogspot.com/2014/01/math-exit-tickets.html

While pinning, I came across this awesome and super quick exit slip assessment technique. This site is all about exit slip assessments using post-it note questions. The students all answer their post-it question and stick it on the door on their way out. It gives different ideas of what you could do for different things you may be teaching your first graders - and if you are teaching a different grade you can just modify the questions to fit your content needs.

I love this assessment technique and hope I get the chance to use it in my class. I think I will use it similar to the way it is explained on the site and maybe just switch up the content on the post-its!
