Teaching Tips and Ideas

Here are some tips for both classroom teachers and home educators:

1. If you are using our lessons with your students, then feel free to copy and paste our detailed learning objectives into to your plan book.
2. Students are most motivated to learn at the beginning of the school year. Reviewing old topics from last year will turn them off. But teaching a new topic in math will challenge them to learn. Learn more about this front-loading technique here.
3. If your class lists get juggled a lot at the beginning of the year, then don't enter names in your gradebook until later in the marking period. Instead, make copies of the class lists you receive and use them for record-keeping until things settle down. You can find more articles, tips and ideas here.
