I use this in my 8th grade class. What I have done is to line up the
skills in Acclerated Math with the skills in their regular math book.
We use the math book as a resource. I teach the new skills for the
first 15 minutes of class. I give ample examples and expect the
students to copy the examples. The students are then given their
practice for class/homework. They can recieve help on practice or
exercises, but on a test, they are on their own.
