During the summer the student use a workbook Module 4 Voyager Math Summer Adventure, Expressions & Equations. So basically the teacher said that thats what she was going by, using the book, as well as knowing the TEKS for the 8th grade. All her students had failed the TAKS test therefore she had to once again cover all the objectives to help students for last time, otherwise they would have to repeat the 8th grade. So half of her period she would use the book covering the problems, it was what was needed to complete the summer program, and also the school was testing them to check for improvement, therefore to either promote or retain the students. Then for the second half she would cover the objectives one at a time, and this was helping students refresh their memory on the material covered all year long. She was really worried about her students and really was trying her best to break it down to the simplest forms of solving problems, and you could say cheat techniques to help the students not struggle. Show them that they can do their best, and enforce confidence. Whether the students took it in, she really tried and fought, and kept insisting.
