Accelerated Math

You are correct when you said it could get wild. I had a real problem with this. I teach sixth grade and I decided that I needed to control it more. I turned off the review part of the practice. When the child took the
practice that was all that was on the worksheet. I decided that I would only put the number of objectives that I could control. I never put more than 4 at a time. I used the exercises for a class lesson and printed one for everyone. Understand that anything that you do with AM is correct. You just have to make it work for your classroom. If you let the children work without restrictions
you will have a lot of intervenes. There has to be time for you to reteach what they do not know. If you don't control it, I'm not sure that the children are really learning. It gets to be busy work and they aren't as careful. I was really able to find where the children's weaknesses were doing it this way. We corrected a lot of problems.
Do you use this as your only means of instruction? Or is this a supplement to your teaching? The answers to these questions will make all the difference.
Hope this helps. (I'm sorry, I got busy talking)
