Each Assignment includes a Stretch that provides an optional extension for advanced learners that stretch them beyond the explicit expectation of the standards.
The Teacher’s Implementation Guide provides suggestions for chunking the assignment for each lesson, including the Stretch. These suggestions consider the content addressed in each session and recommend corresponding Practice, Stretch, and Mixed Practice questions.
To ensure that advanced learners are not doing more work than their classmates, consider substituting the Stretch for Mixed Practice questions. When there are no Mixed Practice questions aligned with the Stretch, substitute the Stretch for the Journal or Practice questions.
