To differentiate instruction and allow students to progress at their own speed, I have incorporated a computer driven instruction component. The format of the class will be:

First two days: teacher driven instruction, guided practice, hands on practice and small group work.

Third day: Students are assessed. Students that understand the concept, progress to independent work though MathXL. Students who still need practice move to a small group and receive intensive intervention.

Fourth day: The intervention group is assessed again. Students that show mastery move to the computer based instruction.  Students who still need practice work as a group to master the skill.

Fifth day:  Flexible instruction or supplemental skills. 

 

If the students do not complete MathXl, their test grade will be used for the MathXL grade.
