Some of my students will need a slowed-down one-on-one setting to process this new way of thinking about addiction and how it helps us solve subtraction problems.

Student Range in the Classroom
Above level: Have students play a game of writing out related facts for selected dominos from the pile to practice addition and subtraction-related facts.
This activity allows high-level students to continue learning math skills with a partner.

3H) establishes high expectations for each student’s learning and behavior
Classroom rules connect to standard 3H by establishing a structured and supportive learning environment.
