- Incorporating traditional effective learning tools such as manipulatives (base ten blocks, fraction bars, etc.), number lines, time lines, and graphic organizers
- Using questioning strategies to focus student learning, requiring students to draw conclusions, and featuring more than one correct response
- Explaining the theory behind mathematical processes as well as demonstrating specific problem solving procedures with a variety of approaches for finding an answer
- Providing immediate feedback for practice activities
- Promoting differentiated instruction by providing teachers with tools to use with students at different skill levels
- Supporting learner choice by providing teachers with a method of instructional delivery and aligned practice that is appealing to students not engaged by traditional teaching methods
