Testing season is stressful.\u00a0 The task of scheduling testing for each student in the school is difficult.\u00a0 It causes significant stress due to time logistics, student absences, and disrupted schedules. Teachers know how difficult it can be to deal with odd and awkward time gaps.\u00a0 \u00a0What testing season activities can fill those holes?<\/p>\n
Teachers spend a lot of time juggling schedule and testing material.\u00a0 Students are anxious about the tests as well.\u00a0 Often the mood in the classroom can feel tense.<\/p>\n
We at Rocket Math<\/a> are concerned about the success of students. We know how precious teaching time is. We believe that doing Rocket Math practice sessions can significantly aid during the busy spring test season.\u00a0 Here are five reasons why doing Rocket Math is a great activity during testing season.<\/p>\n Your students are familiar with the Rocket Math routine.\u00a0 They know just what to do. The process of doing Rocket Math from start to finish should take no longer than ten to fifteen minutes. When you have one of those short intervals created by the testing schedule, you can make good use of this short amount of time. Rocket Math fits in a short amount of time and is still productive.<\/p>\n As test schedules tend to have multiple gaps, Rocket Math works great as an activity that can be used multiple times throughout the day without causing extra work for teachers. Students actually appreciate the opportunity to have another chance to practice Rocket Math in the same day.<\/p>\n Students can easily use Rocket Math a second or third time during their school day without any negative impact. In fact, multiple sessions of Rocket Math during a single day can help students progress faster.<\/p>\n As students are taking make-up tests, the rest of their classmates need something to do in the classroom. Because students work in pairs during Rocket Math allows students to work through math lessons on their own.\u00a0 Because it is just practice, there is no need to re-teach material, students taking their make up tests filter back into the classroom.<\/p>\n As long as there is at least a 15-minute gap between testing sessions, students can easily complete a Rocket Math session. The best part is, because students are familiar with the Rocket Math process, teachers don\u2019t need to explain a new activity to each student who filters in after testing.<\/p>\n Many teachers struggle to fill time in the gaps between test sessions. Reading time or make-up work is often the go-to solution.\u00a0 \u00a0Teachers know that these activities don\u2019t seem productive or engaging.\u00a0 Plus, students know that these time-filling activities “don’t count.”\u00a0 Rocket Math however, does count!<\/p>\n In contrast, Rocket Math offers students a fun and creative way to effectively learn critical skills<\/a> that are necessary for future success.<\/p>\n1. Rocket Math is a time efficient testing season activity.<\/h3>\n
2. Rocket Math can be used during multiple testing season gaps.<\/h3>\n
