But what if our belief itself was the main cause of the problem?”

Assessment & Practice Books
1. Go through lesson with all lesson practice, then assign relevant AP questions
2. Use the whole period for the lesson & activities, assign practice from AP next day
3. Do all AP work for a particular topic on one day
4. No further practice needed – no AP work

Bonuses are given to
both strong and less
able students
throughout the lesson.
The object of learning
stays the same.
Extensions provided
in the lesson plan are
to be used at anytime
during the lesson to
offer a challenge to
students. Extensions
encourage students to
apply their thinking.

Visibly Random Groups (Peter Liljedahl)
Ask students to make up questions:like it but harder… with a missing place value for example
Make another one:…same sum, different addends

Preparing LessonsPreparing a lesson
• At what points in the lesson will you need to
offer bonus questions?
• How will you emphasize new vocabulary?
• If you have any weak students in your class,
where do you anticipate them getting stuck?
What might help them? Can you preload
them in any way before the lesson?
• At what points will you assess the class, and
how will you do it?
• What extensions/activities can you offer the
stronger students?
Preparing LessonsPreparing a lesson
Preparing LessonsPreparing a lesson
Remember… Keep the class together
How?
• Preload weakest students
• Use continuous assessment
• Always have bonus questions on hand
• Give extensions to stronger students and help
students who are struggling
• Do not allow students to work ahead
Remember… Everything is difficult before it is easy!
