I began writing this post, had a couple of paragraphs, and then re-read it. I was sounding awful snarky. So much so that I just couldn't publish what I wrote. I had a day where what I thought was going to be an easy review lesson turned out to be torturous. Even in Math 3, those Juniors and Seniors do not remember middle school level math that has been drilled into their head every year. Stuff that I think students should be pros at by now. And I do this to myself every year.
I am in my 15th year of teaching high school math. I hope I will eventually learn that topics I think are going to be easy probably will not be. Things I think students should know, they probably don't. If I just teach the lesson like it is the first time, maybe I will be super surprised when they get it quick, and then I can have a happy day.
Tomorrow is Test Day! Fingers crossed!
