Built from a real skill map
Every plan comes from Eurekami's map of 2,008 skills from kindergarten to grade 12, written to Common Core, NGSS and the national curriculum in England. Each skill knows which skills come before it and which come next, so the warm-up revisits what students need first and the stretch ideas point to the next step. The questions are generated fresh each time, so two classes never get the same sheet.
Choose 30, 45 or 60 minutes
Timings are suggested for each part of the lesson and change with the length you pick. Print the plan for yourself and the student sheet for the class, or put the examples on the board straight from the page.
