 * Presenters: Dr. Chuck Friesen, retired Lincoln Public School mathematics teacher and technology director, and Lenny VerMaas, retired mathematics teacher and ESU staff developer. The first NeSA-M assessment is completed. Now is the time to begin to make plans to enable students to do better next year. Effective test preparation depends on a sustained, long-term plan of instruction and opportunities to practice. Help will be provided to develop bell ringers and additional practice problems. These problems can be used to model test taking and problem solving strategies with students. Students who understand and can apply a wide vocabulary will do better on the NeSA-M. A wide variety of strategies to practice and deepen students’ understanding of mathematics vocabulary will be shared. Assistance will be provided for teachers who want to implement L to J for vocabulary and mathematical concepts.
