  Case: Time vs. Assessment
With the Georgia Standards of Excellence for 6th grade Mathematics, there is an extensive curriculum map that outlines the standards and projected time frame it should take teachers to teach the content and assess the students for mastery. The average time frame that is provided for each unit that is to be taught is approximately four weeks. There are some units that average more than eight standards that are to be taught in a four week period. Do you think teachers have enough time to effectively teach content and students master it prior to them being assessed at the end of the school term on state standardized tests?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
No. Unfortunately, that is not enough time at all, especially when you have students with already existing gaps in their math knowledge. Be sure to use math intervention time to address those gaps.

Comments: Although math intervention seems like a great option to have for these students, I feel that there isn't enough time in the day to provide all the right tools for each lesson. Elaborating on this solution to get your point across would be better.
