Elementary and middle school teachers at Marathon Area Elementary and Venture School work collaboratively on developing learning targets and setting the expectations of high quality work. Students track their learning progress in a binder that moves with them in each grade. They engage in self-reflection through student-led conferences as they report on data collected and show examples of his/her work.The student explains why each piece of work was important, how it connected to their learning goals, and how that lead to demonstration of proficiency in the standards. Read more about these practices in the module.

This lesson unit is intended to help teachers assess how well students are able to visualize two-dimensional cross-sections of representations of three-dimensional objects. In particular, the lesson will help you identify and help students who have difficulties recognizing and drawing two-dimensional cross-sections at different points along a plane of a representation of a three-dimensional object.
