== Math Journal / Portfolio==

portfolios post


 * goals, requirements, scores, progress, charts, reflection, assessment - objective, subjective
 * personal learning network - resources - videos, explanations, examples, self quizzes

For current grade level, testing, scores, areas of weakness
 * step back, work on supporting material from "prior knowledge" for weak area

Learning paths
 * series of "linked" tasks
 * self-directed, goal, requirement
 * ? IXL - games, videos, related resources
 * extra credit for recommending new resources

baseline
 * student identifies areas of weakness - hard, don't understand, love, easy, share resourcess "I learned from that"
 * based on testing, assessment, teacher evaluations, observation

progress
 * accomplishments - completed, testing, assessment
 * interests - discovery, quest, peer teaching, math in everyday / games / sports / food


 * Coherence Map shows the connections between Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.


 * Volusia Math curriculum map

== Motivation==
 * assess current level ? like reading
 * students know where the stand - easy access to math profile, guided next-steps

goals, expectations - more than just assignments, do this

motivation
 * extrinsic - rewards, recognition
 * intrinsic - self-directed, goals, interests, curiosity, needs / wants
 * usefulness ? what's in this for me

generate interest, engagement
 * kahoot > ?

try this
 * survey / assess - broad spectrum - weakness, strengths in math background
 * challenges
 * self-directed
 * games, puzzles
 * tracking > sharing with student

resources
 * online services, monitoring, reporting, student feedback
