In the Unit Notables section, you may find career connections, calculator tips, ideas to help your learner if they get stuck, or optional activities. CCA wishes you and your learner a terrific school year! Supporting Your Learner Your role as a Learning Coach is very important. Here are a few ways you can help your learner do their very best in the course. Help your learner know what time guided or live class instruction is scheduled for, and prompt them to attend sessions or watch recordings. Remember, it is okay for your learner to get stuck. Learning new material takes time. Encourage them to take breaks, keep trying, and even ask the teacher for help. Help your learner navigate technology. That may mean helping them type information or upload work into edio. Always encourage your learner to do their very best. Review the course syllabus for your learner’s course. Maintain communication with your learner’s teacher.

Course Format Within the course, there are different components your learner will interact with. These components will not be used every day. Getting Started Lesson: There is one Getting Started lesson in this course. It can be found on Day 1 of Unit 1. This lesson includes important information about the course and contact information for your teacher. Unit Overview: Each unit will include a unit overview. This describes what your learner will learn in the unit and how many assessments the unit will have. Prep for Success: At the beginning of each unit, your learner will find a Prep for Success. This component offers learners tips to be successful in the course, such as study tips, important software information, safety reminders, and more. Knowledge Check: There will be one Knowledge Check in each unit. The Knowledge Check is designed to check prior learning and understanding about key skills and concepts that will be taught in the unit. The Knowledge Check is not a graded assessment. Lesson Bundling A lesson bundle is a collection of lessons that stack up to equal one full class period. On some days, learners will see bundles, such as a Knowledge Check and the daily lesson or the combination of a Quiz Review and Quiz. In Honors Geometry, learners will see a specific bundle of lessons within one day. Warm Up: At the beginning of nearly all math lessons, learners will begin with a Warm Up. This is meant to help learners practice math fluency and understanding of numbers. It may include math thinking routines or a review of prior learning. Explore: This section of the lesson is the new learning for the day. Learners are exposed to vocabulary, lesson instruction, and practice. Practice or Practice and Skill Builder: Most days will include a Practice section or a Practice and Skill Builder section. Practice: Practice problems will be a continuation of the content taught within the Explore section. These practice problems give learners time to practice new skills and review previously learned math concepts. Skill Builder: Within this section, learners are offered the choice of activities, often hands-on or based on digital applications, to extend their understanding of past and present math concepts. Lesson Components Each lesson has its own components to help guide your learner through the lesson. Lesson Overview: At the beginning of every lesson, your learner will see the lesson overview. This section contains lesson objectives, lesson vocabulary, materials your learner will need for the lesson, and the suggested lesson length. This is found on the first page of the Warm Up.
