Lesson Components

Each lesson includes a daily meeting, a new increment of instruction, guided practice of new and previously introduced concepts, and number fact practice. Written and oral assessments are built into the program and are given at regular intervals. 

  • The Meeting. The daily meeting is an opening exercise in which children practice skills related to time, temperature, money, counting, patterning, and problem solving.
  • Number Fact Practice. Children are presented with strategies to help learn number facts. They are encouraged to recall facts through the use of pattern recognition. Facts are practiced orally, and students test their skills in timed drills (fact practice sheets), competing against past performances.
  • Written Practice. Children complete the first part of the written practice with parent assistance. The remaining half, which mirrors work completed in class, is done later in the day. The time delay between practice sessions improves retention.
  • Written and Oral Assessments. Each assessment questions children on skills they have practiced for at least five lessons. In Math 1, a written assessment is given every five lessons, an oral assessment every ten lessons.

The decision to homeschool our daughter, Alexa, was an easy one. Choosing a curriculum that worked well with her goals and schedule was a little more difficult.
