Development:
 ~Day to day lessons will be done via PowerPoint and some white board use ~Timed A+S table tests done weekly ~Hands on learning -Adding objects in the room to start -Intended progression will make it so they can add and subtract in their heads and won't need visuals
Practice:
 ~Flashcards for each pair of students -help each other learn ~Make flashcards to use at home ~Timed A+S tables in class for practice and tests weekly ~Examples on boards answered by kids
Accommodations:
 ~groups split according to speed, accuracy and overall knowledge of the material
Checking For Understanding:
 ~Weekly timed table tests -look for improvement ~Correct answers given in class
Closure:
