Today I've been working on my first quarter for one of my classes. I am long term planning what I need to do by using our syllabus located at here. I am using a planner that I found on the internet. I can't link to the site because I did not save it, but it can be found here.
My first 3 weeks of this course are Standard AF 1.2 which says SWBAT (Students will be able to) use order of operations to solve algebraic equations. I will need to introduce integers (to prepare for the next unit), introduce exponents, and introduce PEMDAS (please excuse my dear aunt sally).
I also need to remember that the first 3-4 days will be introductions to our brand new school, syllabus introduction, interactive notebook creating and introduction, and pre-testing (including multiplication facts). I feel like one thing I know the kids often forget are their multiplication facts. I want to do a daily mad minute on multiplication to get these kids to remember most, if not all of their facts. If they don't know their facts, passing the CAHSEE is near impossible.

Good luck!
