I have a general idea of the topics to cover but don’t use a “lesson plan” as such. Up to now. We’re entering 5th grade next month so I’ve been gradually introducing a little more structure. I have a high anxiety learner and testing (of any type) brings it out so I go by day by day observations to determine progress. If there’s a concept or skill that’s not mastered we’ll usually move on and cycle back to it – sometime multiple times using multiple approaches – until it’s mastered.

Thanks for the question. What grades are you teaching?
