High School Math Long Term Sub Plans, 4 Weeks, 9th 10th 11th 12th Grade Math, 20 Days, No Prep, 262 Pages

Quadratics, trig and growth curves: a month of math any sub can run. These high school math sub plans are long term sub plans for four weeks of 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade math: a different topic every day that works in any course, Algebra 1, Geometry or Algebra 2. Every task (each math set, calm block, team task, game and Monday opener) starts with a "Say this to the class" box: two or three sentences that tell students what to do and how to start. Every day has individual work (the math set and a calm block) and a team task for groups of four, plus an optional game on that day’s lesson as a fun way to end the class. Every math set has a core task and a ★ challenge for fast finishers. No prep: print and go for a long-term sub, a medical or family leave, or any absence of about a month.

Perfect For

• Four weeks out: surgery or medical leave, a family leave, a long illness
• A long-term sub who does not teach math: every task has a script and every answer is in the key
• A vacancy or a late hire, when a high school math class needs a month of solid lessons
• Any high school math course: the skills Algebra 1, Geometry and Algebra 2 classes share, with a core task for everyone and a ★ challenge for fast finishers
• Your sub tub or emergency sub folder, ready before you need it

How It Works

1. Print the four binders and leave them on your desk. Week 1 covers days 1 to 5, Week 2 days 6 to 10, Week 3 days 11 to 15 and Week 4 days 16 to 20. Each binder has its own week plan on page 4, already filled in with page numbers.
2. The sub reads the "Say this to the class" box at the top of the task, then runs the day’s math set in every period. Each set is one period (45 to 55 minutes). Every student does the core task; fast finishers go on to the ★ challenge.
3. The calm block (a math puzzle and a self-checking quiet practice page) is for early finishers or a loud moment, the team task for groups of four fills a block period or extra time, and the game is optional fun for the last 15 minutes.
4. Every set stands alone, so each plan is only a sample order: move any set to any day. Each set opens with a line that says what it reviews.
5. Every answer is in the key at the back of each binder, so the sub needs no math background. Prefer your own order? Each binder includes a blank weekly schedule.

What the Sub Gets

• A note to the substitute in each binder: the daily routine, how the core task and the ★ challenge work, and what to do if the class is loud
• A "Say this to the class" script for every task: the Monday opener, each math set, each calm block, each team task and each game (84 in all), two or three sentences that say what students do, how (on their own, in groups of four or as a whole class) and the first step
• A step by step sub script for each Monday opener, and a "Read this out" box on most games
• Each week plan already filled in with page numbers, a blank schedule, a class list and a "how it went" page
• Every answer in the key, including the ★ challenges
