A Homeschool Lesson Must Look Different from a Classroom Lesson
Singapore’s approach to math is amazing for so many reasons, but it's designed to be used in a classroom. Students are meant to discuss and work together collaboratively while building understanding.
In order to replicate its success in the homeschool setting, it HAS to look different.
Home Instructor Guides are a great starting point to help parents see how the lesson looks with one student. But there’s more to consider to make the Singapore approach truly work:
How does my lesson look to encourage conversation?
How do I manage hands-on activities?
How do I complete a 45 minute lesson in 20 minutes?
How do I work with multiple students?
The Answer: Create an actual lesson just for homeschool families.
The 4C Math Mastery Model
