This document - short - is intended to provide an educator with the basics on the four (4) elements in a daily elementary (and middle school) math program. It also includes a basic lesson plan template. The more elementary schools (Title 1 and non-Title 1) that I visit as a consultant, I am so surprised at the lack of consistency and sequitur lessons of these classrooms. It must be the lack of leadership at the campus or a belief that computer AND NOT TEACHERS are the most important currency
