Teaching Routine

  1. Warm-up with oral place-value questions or four review problems.
  2. Explain and model the day’s concept using place-value drawings or manipulatives.
  3. Complete two guided examples and ask the learner to explain each regroup or comparison.
  4. Assign the 20 independent problems plus four spiral reviews, then discuss one challenge.
  5. Record specific errors and reteach with new numbers, not by supplying the memorized answer.

Instructional Scoring

Check whether an error comes from place value, regrouping, missing units, choosing the wrong operation, or a calculation slip. A score of at least 17/20 on Day 5 can be an internal signal to extend, but it is not an Alabama assessment cut score or proof of full grade proficiency. Reassess weak objectives with changed values.
