Math U See ~* organizing for a week

Our Math U See came in today so I could not wait to organize it!!! 

Math U see comes with a video that teaches, teachers manual, student workbook, a test booklet.

 I do not want to write a schedule every week especially since I will be printing our Language arts & history every week. So I decided to use the report covers like I did with the history to use each week.

 I printed out the seven days of the week for dividers. I love saltbox houses so I used the planner from Mom's home Journal from click here to see Mom's Home Journal at Momstoolbelt.com

 So I don't have to print new ones each season I printed each day a new season so I can use the same pages all year round no matter what season we are in.

I then removed a week worth of Math from the student's book & the end of the week test. I then planned out what pages would be done each day of the week and placed them in the report cover in order by the days of the week.

note* 8/25/2014 I am not longer using the report covers but instead made folders. Click here to see the Math folders we are currently using.

 This is the weeks plan:

1. Monday watch video together & do worksheet A together
2. Tuesday worksheet B
3. Wednesday worksheet D & G (G is new it is the application & enrichment page)
4. Thursday worksheet E
5. Friday student is to teach me the concept (demonstrate) then take lesson test

   After the entire week I have a divider titled extras. This is where I keep the extra worksheets if they need more practice to master the concept.The extra worksheets I have are C & F . One is a mastery & the other a systematic review worksheet. If they need more time it is easy to pull apart the report cover and rearrange the days of the week placing the extra worksheets where they are needed and adding more. There is no need to erase on a written schedule I just take out the worksheets and rearrange them as needed. 

       Math U See has a worksheet generator you can create & print if your student needs more time mastering a math concept. Click here for worksheet generator. I plan for each lesson to be a complete week. Monday learning the concept to Friday taking a test with practice in between. However, this is a mastery program so I work with the child. They may need 3 weeks to master the math. 

 I keep the student notebook, test book, &; weeks work in their workboxes. Click here to see my workboxes One advantage to using the report covers is if they loose or spill something etc., which in my house it happens, the entire students book does not have to be purchased. They leave the books in the workbox and only take out the weeks pages to complete their work.

 Once they complete their independent work on days they are practicing they place it in my check box on my desk so I can check their work making sure they understand what they are learning.

From there I place them in what I called their done drawer. They have been checked and when it come to portfolio time I just pull out my samples. When the box gets full I place them in a larger container for the end of the year. All the subjects go into the done drawer as they are checked..
