Use It! Don't Lose It! Daily Math Practice

Description

Similar to Daily Math Practice, these provide grade appropriate practice problems on a daily basis for 36 weeks. Each day students work 5 problems. Monday through Thursday problem sets consist of one computational, one problem-solving, and one algebra problem. The remaining two activities for Mondays and Wednesdays contain a statistic/probability activity and a geometry one. Measurement and number concepts round out the remaining two types of problems Tuesdays and Thursdays. Friday activities follow a slightly different pattern with two computational, one algebraic, one "random," and one challenge problem. With each week's activities centered around a particular theme like the Titanic or inventions, students will not only sharpen their math skills but also learn real facts about the topic at hand. Practice problems are set up in a spiraling sequence with the difficulty level increasing each successive week. Please note: Although the algebra level book follows the same pattern of 5 practice problems per day, there are not set "types" of problems for each day of the week. Algebra skills covered are expressions, operations, equations with variables, exponents, roots and radicals, inequalities, coordinate graphing, functions, and more. Answers included, reproducible, 127 pgs. ~ Enh

Teaching Method

Classical
A methodology based on the Latin Trivium (three stages of learning), including the grammar stage (memorization and facts), logic stage (critical thinking), and rhetoric stage (developing/defending ideas).
Unit Study
A thematic or topical approach centered around one topic that integrates multiple subject areas.
Montessori (Discovery)
A methodology based on the work of a 20th century educator that emphasizes student and sensory-driven discovery learning and real-life applications.

Religious Content
Secular
Contains content contrary to common Christian beliefs (i.e. evolution).

Multi-Sensory
Curriculum that employ a variety of activities/components.
Presentation
Sequential
Curriculum progresses through well-defined learning objectives. Emphasizes mastery before moving to the next topic.
Spiral
Topics and concepts are repeated from level to level, adding more depth at each pass and connecting with review.
Conceptual/Topical
Focus is on the “why,” often with a unifying concept as well as specific skills; coverage may be broader.
Teacher Involvement
Low Teacher Involvement
Student-led materials; parent acts as a facilitator.
Medium Teacher Involvement
A mix of teacher-led time and independent student work.
High Teacher Involvement
Teacher-led lessons; may utilize discussions, hands-on activities and working together.
