Think about a project or alternative assessment that your students can do this semester where they are using the content and explain your planning process.
In my Algebra Extensions class this semester I planned a Project Based Learning lesson. We did a unit on perimeter and area, so their project was to make a blueprint of their dream home. On graph paper students first drew out the blueprint and labeled all of the rooms of their dream home. Next students were required to calculate the perimeter and area of each room in their home. Finally, students calculated the total area and total perimeter. Students also presented their homes to the class. My students really enjoyed this project and it gave them a lot of practice with area and perimeter, as well as basic operations which is something many of them still struggle with.
