There’s no such thing as too much practice. This reproducible program builds skills incrementally. By inviting students to “show what they know” in a variety of new formats, these stimulating lessons will enable struggling student s to actually enjoy the learning process. With these binders the dual emphasis in science is on (1) mastery of the basics and (2) improved thinking skills.
