Jumping into March and ready to practice math skills? Which ones should you review for more learning gains? Let’s look at five ways you can practice math skills in March.
Practicing Math Skills for Success
Every time you assign something to students it should focus on the 3 parts of a stellar assignment.
- Be concise
- Be focused
- Be relevant
When your assignments align to these standards, then they will be on point. The best assignments engage students with 10-20 problems, but do not overwhelm the kids. Get to the point of what they are practicing, then you will have greater results. Lastly, be relevant when assigning tasks. A task should not take longer to complete than a class period, rather be focused on one standard in less than 45 minutes of practice time.
