I have broken up the pages. I have also made “deals” – for example, For every one of this set you get wrong, you’ll have to do that many in this set (usually talking about a set at the beginning of the “You can do this” section and a set at the end).
Sometimes, I go through and just circle the problems I want them to do.
Sometimes, I let them do flashcards or the speed drill instead of doing certain problems…or lessons. I have one girl who hates the speed drills, but will do flashcards. And another who hates flashcards but will do speed drills.
Sometimes, I wonder if I should be more CM and start the timer and when 15 or 20 minutes is up, that’s it. I worry, though about moving on to the next lesson. Should I not move on to the next lesson then? OR should I?
It takes my 4th grader about 40 minutes to do EVERY problem. It takes my 2nd grader longer. She’s still doing 1st grade math because of eye trouble and we started only doing 1/2 a math lesson per day because she’d cry and throw fits. I didn’t realize it was her eyes until we went to the dr. Now she has glasses, but she still throws fits if the lesson lasts too long. That’s why I wonder about setting the timer.
What do you ladies think?

I agree with sklong (previous poster). My daugher is overwhelmed by the number of pages in the lesson, but we both love CLE Math because of it’s review and it’s user-friendly format.
On most days, I will have her do all of the problems for the new concept, and then pick and choose the review problems for her to do. She does flashcards and speed drill every day because she needs that re-enforcement. But having her do only half the problems in the lesson is much more overwhelming. If she’s having an especially good day and seems to be breezing through her work, I might go back and have her do 1 or 2 of the problems we may have skipped in previous lessons. Either way, she usually ends up getting almost the entire LU done. There are many ways to get to the finish line, know what I mean?
