Ramp-Up+To+Algebra

This is a page for Ramp-Up teachers to collaborate around the eight modules that are assigned to the students. Feel free to look through and get some ideas from others and share ideas on what has worked in your classroom. Especially for this curriculum, it is important for us to pool our resources and create best practices for a young program. We look forward to hearing the success that you have experienced with lessons, projects, or just other ideas.

To access the content, simply click on the "DISCUSSION" tab and find the standard that you are currently working on. To reply, type in the standard thread (ex. for the Number Sense Standard 1.0, you may just put in 1.3 if you wanted to discuss that strand of the standard) and input your response. Include links to a GoogleDoc that would allow others to see the great things that you are doing to help your students master the standard.

To upload a GoogleDoc, go to [] and sign in (if you don't have an account, it is free to create one). From there, you will upload the document that has helped you successfully teach a standard. Once the file is uploaded, you will click on the button that says "share" in the top right of the screen. If the document is not public, change the settings to "public". From there, you will see a link to the page that you can copy and paste into your response. The link should look like [] and be an access point to your document. Good luck!

Also, the Ramp-Up curriculum is based on grades 1 through 6 with some 7th grade standards as well. For each specific standard, use the navigation bar on the side to see what teachers of those specific standards are using successfully.

The CST for Ramp-Up is heavily dependent on mastery of 7th grade standards, so the 7th Grade Math link may be a handy tool for you to access as you work through the preparations for the CST exam.

Best of luck and please be candid about what can be done to make the site more productive to you. For questions or ideas, please email jstevens1@psusd.us
