The Teaching Companion: Grade 7 Math, Built to Be Understood
Scripted Lessons, Wrong Turns Pre-Answered, and a Math Primer for the Parent, Tutor, or Teacher at the Table
Your Math First, word-for-word scripts, and wrong turns pre-answered for every unit of the Grade 7 workbook.
$11.99
The kids who struggle most in math often have grown-ups at the table who were failed by the same math a generation earlier. Nobody should have to relearn seventh grade at 9 pm to help their learner, so this book does the preparing for you.
For every unit of the student workbook you get three things: Your Math First, word-for-word scripts, and Wrong Turns Pre-Answered. You do not need to be good at math to run these lessons. You need to be calm, curious, and willing to say teach it back to me.
What's inside
- Your Math First: a private two-minute refresher in plain words before every unit
- Word-for-word scripts for opening the lesson, the key teaching move, and the teach-it-back prompt
- Wrong Turns Pre-Answered: the two or three likeliest mistakes per unit, what each means, and the sentence that fixes it
- House rules throughout: nothing timed, charts stay on the table, every session ends on a win
- Written by two doctors of education with 55 plus combined years in classrooms
- Designed to be read side by side with the Grade 7 student workbook
