Unfinished Learning?\u00a0 We got this!<\/p>\n
Raise your hand if you have missing pieces in math somewhere.\u00a0 Most of us do!<\/p>\n
At Math in the Fast Lane, we believe in scaffolding forward.\u00a0 What does that mean?\u00a0 That means that tactical devices are available for students to bridge critical gaps needed today – to learn something new.\u00a0 Today.\u00a0 Right now.\u00a0 This provides rich opportunities for students with unfinished learning to grasp new concepts at the same time as their peers.<\/p>\n
Because the last thing we want to do is create MORE gaps…<\/p>\n
Remediation JUST IN TIME recognizes that there are some memory items that might not be readily available right now that are critical to new learning, like fractions, multiplication tables, or perfect squares.\u00a0 Learning is a continuum.\u00a0 We do not want to over scaffold students, but we also don’t want them to shut down on us and risk not learning today because of a memory item.\u00a0 Hey, we’re still working on it!<\/p>\n
Scaffolding just in time can reduce cognitive overload.\u00a0 Rather than panic on unfinished learning items, students can actually listen to new information, because they have what they need in front of them.<\/p>\n
Every unit on Math in the Fast Lane has scaffolding devices.\u00a0 Critical to differentiated learning, these support processing new information.<\/p>\n
BTW:\u00a0 Welcome to Math in the Fast to our new arrivals, especially Brentwood, California schools!<\/p>\n
More helpful tips on using your Math in the Fast Lane resources in this “Hot New” section.\u00a0 Also, there’s a short video under “About Us” on navigating the site in real classrooms.<\/p>\n
My Very Best,<\/p>\n
