Exercise the weak points of your students for the remainder of this week, to perfect Pattern & Cycle recognition. Utilize Numerical Cards daily & focus on Following the Patterns.

Elaborate on the Zero, if not completely overstood. Brief Pop Quiz questionnaires & refreshers throughout the week to check their levels of progression daily. It is not about how fast they get done, it is the amount of correct answers they acquire, it’s about the patterns. Are they following the pattern, are they using the Numerical Cards? Show them the importance of using their Cards, for if they are not using their Cards, they are not applying their selves properly. Apply Work Sheets, mainly the Advanced Array Sheet or Equation Sheet to create equations that require them to follow & or repeat the Pattern. Tell your students to write out their Patterns worked on every day in the Array Boxes to the left side of the paper or utilize Work Ladder.

For Grades 1st & 2nd; Use Array Sheet to magnify each Numbers distinctive design.

Examples are shown on the back side of the Original Array Sheet.

Day 1) There are more than one way to work on Division Comprehension. You can count out the lesser numbers. Example: 4, 8, 2, 6, 0: the starting number is 4, point to the next Number “Move or Stay?”. 4, 8 “Stay”, 2 “Move”, 6 “Stay”, 0 “Move”. How many times you Moved, is what matters within the Pattern? Notice the Underlining’s beneath the Moves next the Numbers within the 4’s Pattern. Write out the Patterns, practice & exercise the “Move or Stay” process every day of this Phase.

Expose Cycle short cuts. What are Cycle short cuts? All Val’s, Recycle by half of what they are. Example: 8 Cycles at 40 & Cyphers at 200. View the breakdown; 8 split in half makes 4, add the 0 (Zero) = 40. Take that 40, split it in half makes 20, add the 0 (Zero) = 200. All Val numbers work in this same fashion continuously; 8 – 40 – 200 – 1,000.

Day 2) Recap comparison with all the Val Number’s, utilizing new methods & previous.

Put the Patters to use; create equations for your students & use Numerical Cards to help find the answers. Let the students do most of the work. You ask the questions that they need to know. If not confident in their response, correct them. Break down Pattern exposure as you go along.

Keep in mind that Phase 2 is in the best interest of the students, try to magnify previous Phase issues & continue to help them comprehend Pattern recognition & Division recognition through Following the Pattern. Focus on opposite number recognition: Elaborate how collapsing Numbers are simple opposites. Show them how the Pattern applies to every aspect of the Numerical Structure. Bring forth Cycles to expose the Steps, challenge them by starting at random Cycle points instead of the starting point. DO NOT, cross over into Cyphers. Allow them to continue to exercise their grasp of the basics. Take Character Math seriously; make sure your students are using their Numerical Cards & refrain from using any other methods.

Day 3) Find the Division Changes: Division Comprehension with Ki’s are simpler than Val’s behind counting out the lesser numbers. Example: 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0. Notice the Underlining’s beneath the Numbers. You will see 3 Underlining’s. Meaning; 3 has 3 Division Changes, 7 has 7, 9 has 9 & 1 has 1. Ki’s are just that simple.

Expose Cycle short cuts. All Ki’s Recycle by what they are. Example: 7 Cycles at 70 & Cyphers at 700. All Ki numbers work in this same fashion continuously; 7 – 70 – 700 – 7,000.

Day 4) Recap comparison with all the Ki Number’s, utilizing new methods & previous. Put the Patters to use; create equations for your students & use Numerical Cards to help find the answers. Let the students do most of the work. You ask the questions that they need to know. If not confident in their response, correct them. Break down Pattern exposure as you go along.

Day 5) Exam Day: Use Equation Sheet or Create an extensive test that exercises the practice of Pattern recognition with the Blank side of the Equation Sheet, using restricted choices based on Val & Ki Numbers, smallest to largest Denominator with or without remainders. Briefly tap into Cycle Steps to prepare them for the week ahead. This test will be an assigned assessment to strengthen your student’s weaknesses behind the exercises of Character Math.
