5+5+10 is not always the same as doing 20-- When starting a
homework assignment in class, break it up into smaller parts. If you want the
kids to do 20 math problems, assign students only the first 5 and ask them
to complete the 5 now in class. GO over the 5 problems, maybe on the
chalk board. Then
assign 5 more, and after they have completed those, review the answers
alound so
students can check their work. Lastly, assign them the final 10 problems as
homework. Because this method breaks down the 20 problems into
smaller tasks, it seems easier to students than assigning them all 20 at
once. Also, the pacing not only helps keep them on task, but fosters
more participation as well. Try this same pattern with other subjects.
