Independent Note-Taking – The Pause and Practice Technique ⏸️
Student Strategy: Encourage your child to pause the video at key moments to take notes and reflect on what they’ve learned. This turns passive watching into an interactive learning experience!
Why It Works: ✨ Pausing to jot down key points reinforces understanding, improves retention, and helps students identify areas of confusion. This simple habit transforms children into active learners rather than passive observers!
Watch how kids Play, Pause, & Copy their way to mastery!
Navigating the Standards-Based Stats Page
Tracking progress is a powerful motivator! The Stats Page clearly shows each student’s mastery of essential standards, helping them take ownership of their learning. ✅
Ways to Use the Stats Page:
Identify students who need additional support
Set personalized goals for improvement
Reward students when they achieve green boxes
(I always offer incentives for hitting proficiency!)
Every math standard is represented by a colored box:
⬜ White: Not yet started
Yellow: Started, but not yet proficient
Green: Proficient ✅
Use this to: Identify learning gaps & adjust instruction
Set personalized goals & celebrate growth
✔ Regularly review progress
✔ Encourage students to turn all boxes green!
✔ Provide help where needed!
✔ Celebrate small wins for BIG motivation!
✅ Ongoing Formative Assessment and Feedback
Weekly check-ins are key!
✔ Review Regularly: Keep an eye on student progress to ensure they’re on track
✔ Set Goals: Encourage your child to turn all boxes green!
✔ Seek Help: If your child struggles with a concept, guide them to the right resources
✔ Celebrate Growth: Progress, not perfection! Recognizing small wins keeps motivation high
Monitor your children’s Stats Pages & their Teacher’s Dungeon Notebooks to track their growth.
Reward every new green box with positive reinforcement.
