What one lesson contains
Every topic in every subject follows the same five steps, then an answer key. Nothing changes between subjects, so a student always knows what comes next.
- Quick CheckQuestions before you teach, to show what the student already knows. A high score means you can move faster.
- Learn ItKey words, step-by-step teaching with lines you can read aloud, worked examples, and the mistakes to watch for.
- We Do It TogetherQuestions you work through side by side. The answer and the reason it is the answer are printed right after each question.
- You TryThe student works alone. Do a page a day, or as many as the student needs.
- Show What You KnowNew questions at the end. Compare the score with the Quick Check to see the change.
- Answer KeyEvery question has its answer and a short explanation, at the end of each topic, so a student can work without peeking.
