  11. Whole Group Instruction • Whole-group instruction introduces tested skills and lets teachers identify areas of students weakness. It is scaffold, progressing from easier to more complex content.

  12. Small Group Instruction • All students receive quality instruction during whole-class participation. But, because not all students are on the same level at the same time, Treasures also provides differentiation options for every tested skill and strategy—small-group instructional options for students at varying skill levels.

  13. Math Everyday Math

  14. Developed by the University of Chicago School Mathematics Project • Based on research about how children learn and develop mathematical power • Provides the broad mathematical background needed in the 21st century

In Everyday Math, you can expect: • A problem-solving approach based on everyday situations • An instructional approach that revisits concepts regularly • Frequent practice of basic skills, often through games • Lessons based on activities and discussion, not a textbook • Mathematical content that goes beyond basic arithmetic
