Cass Junior High School math classes have begun using an innovative teaching strategy called a “Flipped Classroom”. A Flipped Classroom enables students to view the math lesson at home, learn at their own pace, and review previous lessons as often as needed. The students take notes on the lesson they watch for homework, just like in a traditional classroom, and then submit a short assessment to the teacher. This allows the teacher to assess the students’ knowledge of the subject before the class begins and to structure the guided practice, re-teaching, and application activities accordingly.
Some of the other benefits of a Flipped Classroom include:
· Parents having the ability to view lessons and better assist their child at home.

· Students do not struggle with completing homework because they “forgot” how. Traditional math practice and application activities will be completed in class with teacher support.
· Lessons are ready and prepared for students who are absent or sick. Students will not miss instruction because it is always ready to review.
