6. ongoing practice toward long-term objectives or goals
Example: following Ms. Vanhenley’s math lessons on the multiplication concept and operation, her students can figure out the answers to single-digit multiplication problem using drawing and blocks, but they are not always 100 percent accurate, and they are very slow. Ms.Vanhednley plans a series of practice activities- partner flashcard practice and multiplication bingo- to help the student toward the long-term objective of writing answer to multiplication fact problems (0-10) at a rate of 80 digits per minute with no errors. In this case, Ms. Vanhenley follows each individual student progress toward objective.
