Warm up and connect

Start with a quick number talk or puzzle that connects the week’s Grade 8 topic to what your child already knows.

25 minutes

Model and practise

Explore the idea with visuals and manipulatives, then practise with guided and independent questions.

10 minutes

Check for understanding

Finish with a short exit task so the tutor knows exactly what to revisit next lesson.
