How to implement these lessons in your classroom:
Instead of having worksheets to accompany these lessons, questions and checks for understanding have been incorporated throughout each presentation. Have students respond to these questions with expo markers on their mini whiteboards so you can quickly glance around the room and see who is understanding the content and who needs more support in a small group.
Incorporate your students’ names and interests in each lesson. This is one of the main reasons why I chose to make each slide deck editable. It was one of the best feelings in the world watching my students’ faces light up with excitement when they realized the math problems were about them!
Project the lessons on the whiteboard so that you can use an expo marker to show any additional work/demonstrations directly on the slides.
I designed these lessons in such a way to allow teachers complete flexibility with how they use them in their classrooms. I had 90 minutes to teach math, and I used these lessons for my whole group instruction. My math class schedule looked like this:
10 Minutes: Math Routine
30 Minutes: Math on Point Lesson
25 Minutes: Small Group #1
25 Minutes: Small Group #2
If you only have 20 minutes to designate for each lesson instead of 30, I don’t want you to worry. You will still get through all of the content before the end of the school year. What’s most important is that you go at a pace that works well for YOU and your students.
