I know at times I am too "soft" on the students, but I want the students to learn and enjoy the experience. I do not want to beat them over the head with "extra" work which many times is what taking Honors means. What are some ways I can rise my rigor without it just being extra work? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Rigor is all in challenging the students. If you teaching how to regroup with double digits and your students are mastering the concept, then take to the next level and add the hundreds then thousands digits. Don't stress yourself, rigor is all about making learning fun while forcing students to use the critical thinking skills. You can always find resources online for whatever area you need to enforce that extra rigor.
