Accelerated Math Weak: Problems are often too hard, objectives do not follow standards, takes much class time, Strong: direct feedback for students, homework has to get done, students work harder. My middle school students are required to complete 30 minutes of Compass Learning math content work each week.

The strengths are readability and prescriptions. The weakness is the time allocated each day is limited. It is not a quick learning tool. Sometimes it could be hard to follow Too hard Doesn't give too much practice I had used Accelerated Math Enterprise, but it turned out all educational research that was written about it was for the stand alone (old) version. Since that was replaced by the current version that is a part of Renaissance Place, it is virtually useless in an alternative setting except as a review tool. If you want details on this, just ask.

Whole class completes an opener, then students receive an overview of the topic. Students then choose either independent work or a more detailed guided practice session. Finally, all students work on individual assignments for the remainder of class. not applicable I teach the remedial high school math classes - at least oversee them. I'd have to say that about 50% pass my math classes. I Completely independent learning with have many low one to one tutoring. achieving students. SADAI practices are used. There are word walls. Student are dynamically grouped. Tablet marker boards have been most helpful. Math dictionaries and There is a whole class assignment each glossaries as well as day.

Every day is different depending on students' needs and mastery. 1) a warm-up I call REM, where students write down what I think are the correct preconceptions necessary to the success of the lesson. 2) students take notes 3) students do guided practice SADAIE methods, differentiated instruction. Use a lot of visual cues. 3-5 cues is best. For example, verbally, hand gestures, writing on the board, and close-up inspection of work.
