Phenomenal Way to Get Students Targeted Practice to Fill in Learning Gaps

How I Use It

I use TTM in order to split my 8th grade math and Algebra classes in half. For 20 minutes, Group A is on TTM while Group B is with me learning the daily lesson. For the next 20 minutes, Group A is with me learning the daily lesson while Group B does independent practice from the daily lesson. For the last 20 minutes Group A is completing independent practice from the daily lesson while Group B does TTM. This is my first year implementing the Eureka Math curriculum in my Texas classroom, so I am using TTM for a variety of reasons. 1) To ensure sufficient practice with and exposure to the grade-level TEKS; 2) to allow me to differentiate my instruction of the Eureka Math curriculum more efficiently (my 2 groups that I split the class into are homogenous); and 3) to differentiate to the MANY different levels I have within my class. My students are required to complete 2 lessons a week (this becomes their weekend homework and is checked on Mondays). Ideally they complete these 2 lessons during their 20 minutes/day (at least 3-4 days a week that I do these 20 minute rotations) of working on TTM in class.
