Lesson Design
LESSON DESIGN
Lessons are carefully designed and structured to develop the necessary small conceptual steps for mastery. Only a single concept is developed each lesson. For example, adding fractions with same denominator is not complicated by cancelling or dealing with mixed fractions.
Examples are chosen carefully to highlight the important conceptual ideas and tasks are chosen to provide pupils with intelligent practice.
