- Five-part lessons provide focus and depth on each topic
- As students move through each five-part lesson, support is gradually removed to build student independence
- At each stage of the lesson, students become more accountable for their learning
- Students solve increasingly challenging problems as they move through each lesson
- Each lesson includes instruction and practice in answering multiple-choice, extended-response, and short-response questions
Teacher Guides give you the structure and support you need to teach lessons most effectively, using best practices such as wait time, collaborative learning, and informed progress monitoring. Key features in each lesson include:
- Math Background helps teachers understand why the content of a particular lesson is important for students to learn
- Step-by-step instruction walks teachers through what they need to say and do during each part of the lesson
- Answer Analysis explains why an answer is correct and also shows the types of errors students make that lead them to answer questions incorrectly
