Reflection on Darius Goes West Project

There was a lot of problems, not with the map measuring (though there was issues with that), but with the third page.

I didn't prepare them enough throughout the week for them to be able to solve the third page without guessing.

I am starting to think that I really do need to write my assessment first, and then plan backwards.

Monday: ratios / proportions using cross-multiplication
Introduce finding scales and proportions (maps)

Tuesday: Unit Conversion (one-step)

Wednesday: Unit Conversion (two-step)

Thursday: Darius Lab with Questions where they put it all together

Friday: Darius / Map Assessment // Alternative Assessment for those who couldn't work on Thursday

That's how the week should have gone.
