Brainstorming Exercise
We’ve received reports that up to 20 percent of the current 9th graders are failing Algebra I, thus already endangering graduation in the new Michigan Merit Curriculum.
Using the powerpoint and the resources from the web, design a pyramid of interventions to address this problem.
