What does Sally’s “gradual release model” entail? 

• Each of Sally’s packets follow an “I Do, We Do, You Do” format.  A math concept is introduced whole group, students then practice with a partner, and finish with independent work time.  This deliberate scaffolding keeps students from feeling defeated or frustrated! 
• Sally’s packets also build slowly in difficulty.  We meet students where they are, regardless of level.  As students gain confidence, the problems get progressively harder.  Not all students will complete all problems and that is by design!  
• Each packet finishes with a “Challenge Page” for anyone who needs something extra!

What type of questions can I expect to find in these Writing Expressions Worksheets? 

• In this packet students are given a numerical expression and asked to write a verbal phrase to go with it- such as 3 x (57 + 18) -> three times the sum of fifty-seven and eighteen
• They are also given a verbal phrase and asked to write the matching numerical expression- such as ten less than the product of two and five -> (2 x 5) - 10 
• Students complete several matching tables where the write the letter that corresponds to the verbal phrase or the numerical expression (this makes it quicker allowing them to get more practice in a short spurt of time)
• The problems slowly grow in difficulty so that all students in your classroom will reach a point where they feel challenged, but everyone walks away with enough practice to master this standard!

In addition to the deliberate scaffolding, these numerical expressions include an instructional guide jam-packed with teaching hacks and best practices.  There is also a “Misconceptions” section that allows you to be one step ahead of mistakes students are most likely to make.
