Aim to complete one lesson's worth of activities per day.  
**Lesson Practice: Learners will complete the problem(s), and post the answer(s) in a comment on the teacher's post. Learners will post their work (as a photo or typing it out), and not only the answers. This is about 4-6 problems to discuss with the teacher (and other learners) per day in the lesson thread. The teacher will respond to each student's answers and work. Learners should remember that the answers and step-by-step directions are in the "Solution Manual". If a learner has questions, they should contact the teacher. 
**Mixed Practice: The learner should complete all the problems from the "Mixed Practice". The learner does not need to submit the answers to this material, however, if the learner has questions, they may submit problems for review or questions.
**Investigations: The teacher will post the investigation information. 
**Tests: Learners will refrain from posting the answers in the classroom, however, they can message the teacher directly. **Learners have the option to submit tests for grading.
**Topics: The learners will collaborate to complete the Topic questions together, discussing the topic in the classroom post.

Learners are required to participate in flex classes. Learners do not have to complete all the extras but must complete at least one and comment on the weekly post. 
**ixl.com:

When possible, matching Khan Academy lessons will be posted to go with each book lesson. These are optional activities and not required to complete. The class code will be provided for the learners upon enrollment. 
**Online Activity: 
Learners will complete the individual activities with each lesson. Each activity will be posted in the teacher's post. This may be something such as a whiteboard activity, manipulatives, online flashcards, or more. For example, https://www.mathwarehouse.com/geometry/quadrilaterals/parallelograms/interactive-parallelogram.php . Learners will take a photo of the activity and post it in the teacher's post as a comment. The discussion will then be based on comparing the different posted photos - are the shapes similar, congruent, etc. 
**Real-Life Activity: 
Learners will respond to questions pertaining to real life with a comment on the teacher's post. If the learner knows how to associate the lesson material with a real-life topic (such as at a job, or shopping, etc), the learner should discuss this in the lesson post.
