The last unit is called "show what you know" and does not require a pre or post assessment. The remaining 6 units do require the assessments. The present pacing of the math units and standards follow the rigorous trend but the standards clearly gives an end of the year expectation mastery deadline. Yet in the district teachers are forced to rush the students through multiple skills in six weeks then assess for mastery. The students are feeling the affects of the pacing as well. Performance in general is low. There is also very little time within the pacing to reteach and/ or recover other assessments. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would try and give out homework that is "fun" but also will help them review these units/lessons. For example, maybe flash card games, or "game" or "code cracking" types of worksheets. I would also try and take short breaks throughout lessons to allow students to breathe and relax. Overworking the students will only stress them out even more and decrease their motivation.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I find this solution to be effective because it is allows for students to learn and be able to have fun.
