Each day's lesson uses both the Textbook and Workbook.
Textbook: Pages are designed to be taught by the teacher, not given to students for independent
work. Follow the
instructions in the Home Instructor's Guide. Be flexible—students who understand the concept well might
skip some
repetitive problems; students who struggle might need more assistance. At the end of each day's Textbook
pages, a yellow pencil directs you to the corresponding exercise in the Workbook.
Workbook: There are no directions for the Workbook in the Home Instructor's Guide. Answers
are at the end of each chapter and may
include teaching hints. Be sure to read the “Workbook” section on page xii in the Home Instructor's
Guide.
For workbook pages, read the directions aloud to students and be sure they understand what to do. Then
students complete
workbook pages independently. If you find that a student has difficulty completing a page, work with them
individually.
Determine if the student understands the concept but needs to be taught how to work quietly and independently,
or if the
student doesn't understand and needs more instruction. Workbook pages are perforated and may be torn out
if preferred.
- Be flexible: The authors of this program don't expect every student to complete every question. You
can select how
many (and which) problems to assign. (Classroom: Pages may be completed in class or at home.)
- Challenge problems, found at the end of some lessons, are optional enrichment.
- Students may arrive at correct answers using different processes from those shown in the Home
Instructor's Guide.
