4. Balanced Instruction New concepts begin with a check of prerequisite skills, are introduced and carefully modeled to build conceptual understanding, are developed with ample practice for numerical fluency, and are interconnected with problem solving and reasoning New concepts begin with a check of prerequisite skills, are introduced and carefully modeled to build conceptual understanding, are developed with ample practice for numerical fluency, and are interconnected with problem solving and reasoning HSP Components include: HSP Components include: Show What You Know – used as a pre-assessment at the beginning of each chapter Show What You Know – used as a pre-assessment at the beginning of each chapter Quick Review – used in each lesson to determine readiness for learning new concepts Quick Review – used in each lesson to determine readiness for learning new concepts Chapter and Lesson Investigations – used to promote conceptual understanding for new learning Chapter and Lesson Investigations – used to promote conceptual understanding for new learning Step-by-step Models – use manipulatives and examples to develop students’ learning of traditional algorithms and procedural skills Step-by-step Models – use manipulatives and examples to develop students’ learning of traditional algorithms and procedural skills
