- The Simple Solutions approach has been proven to raise test scores, build student confidence, and improve long-term retention. Take a closer look, as we shine the light on Simple Solutions Common Core Math Grade 1 and all its features.
- Students complete one lesson per day. Every item aligns with a Common Core State Standard and is coded to show its alignment. The teacher always knows which standard is being addressed.
- Help Pages provide explanations and examples of the skills and concepts addressed in Simple Solutions. If students forget how to approach a problem, they just refer to the Help Pages. It is like having a teacher at home!
- Students take a weekly quiz. Consistent and ongoing assessment allows students to show what they know. Teachers monitor students’ progress and plan future instruction. Over time, students approach quizzes and tests with greater confidence, and that increases academic achievement.
- The Topic Guide lists the order in which standards are introduced. This helps teachers pace the introduction of new material.
- The Common Core Unwrapped series is written by teachers, for teachers. These pages provide an easy-to-understand guide to the Common Core, including Mechanics of Instruction and Concept Mastery for each standard.
