Math Grades 4-5
Math 45-60 Minutes
In grades 4-5 Math, there are six modules. A student should complete 1 module in about three weeks.
At the beginning of the school year, you will want to guide your student through the lessons to model best practices when going through a lesson. Please note, the suggestions here are to help your student get acclimated to using best practices while going through a course, you should only have to guide your student for a few weeks in the beginning of the year, eventually, they will get into a routine and be able to navigate on their own.
If a student has trouble reading a lesson, be sure to show them where they can click on the play button to have the content read aloud.
Before a student clicks onto the next page, ask the student to summarize what they learned from the page they did, or ask them questions about that page.
When a student plays an interactive game, watch for how many errors they make. Have them redo the game if they get a lot wrong.
Lesson Videos
When a student is watching a video, watch it with them. Ask them questions about what the video is teaching. Have them tell you about the video.
Lesson Assignments
Assignments in Math will be given after a few lessons. They will have the word assignment in the lesson title. When a student clicks on the assignment lesson, there will be a link to download the assignment. The student can print it or, in some cases, type directly in the document if you have a workbook direct the student to find the workbook page and complete it. When the student finishes the worksheet, have them submit the worksheet by scanning it and putting it in their dropbox that is on the assignment page.
