Classroom Suggestions

Class Pace:

  • Groups can progress at different paces, or you can individualize and have everyone at their own level.
  • We recommend you have the entire class on the same lesson, unless you have either a student "too far behind" or a very advanced student, in which case you could order an Individual Student Set for the grade level needed.
  • If the class is having trouble with a concept, take a day to work on it before starting the next lesson.
  • It is better for the class to only get two-thirds of the way through the lessons, than to push it and frustrate them.

Combination Classes:

  • The method found to be most successful is to have one grade level do work that does not require your attention while the other grade has their math lesson. After both lessons have been taught, they can all work on their Guided Practice at the same time.
  • Another method is to teach both lessons to both levels.

New Students:

  • When the class is on the Guided Practice, have the new student only do the problems with which they are familiar.
  • Over the first few weeks, teach them the concepts that are new to them individually.
  • If they are of average ability or better, they will eventually catch up to the class. If they are too far behind, they may have to go back to the beginning of the year and work through each lesson.

Advanced Students:

  • If students finish their work ahead of the others, it would be a good time to put an extra effort into subject areas where they are not as strong, or use the time for enrichment activities or math games.

Checking Papers:

  • Mark answers correct as you see them while students work on their Lesson Sheets during Guided Practice.
  • Make a Transparency of your answer guide and correct papers with the class on the overhead projector.
