chontaveal Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 We will be using VT this year. There are sever options. Can you all tell me how it has worked best for you. (ie do you view a lesson every day, every other day and what about the quizes.) In addition, it seems that the quizes are not cumulative, do you find that the students forget the material by the time they get to the unit test? Thank you for you input.

Paula in PA Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 You might want to try posting this on the High School board. I know there are several VT users there. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 It's been a while, but I believe we did a lesson one day, then the quiz the next. At the end of each unit, he did the test. I can't recall how many days this worked out to be, sorry. No, it wasn't a problem that the quizzes were not cumulative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiddenJewel Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Dd14 watches a lesson and does the odd problems. The next day (or whenever a quiz comes up) she does the quiz. If she does well she moves on to the next lesson (on the same day). If she does poorly, she does the even problems for the previous lesson. The concepts build on each other so the student really needs to make sure he has mastered the material before moving on. The unit tests can be a challenge if the material was not truly mastered. One thing I have done when she did poorly on a unit test was to have her go back and correct the test and then take Test B as a 2nd actual test. Unit tests and cumulative unit tests take more than one day. She is in the middle of Module D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chontaveal Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Thank you, thank you, thank you... These responses have helped me tremendously. I was going to schedule the lessons ahead of time (which would have been a mistake) Now I see that I really need to stay on top of math, grade work everyday. When we used MUS he graded/corrected all of his work, then I graded the test at the end of each week. He only came to me when I got stuck. Doing poorly on his exams indicated that he hadn't been grading/correcting his work, so I'd go back grade it/make him redo it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I would do that with all my children but she has the maturity level to handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
