I've started a new blog giving tips and advice to parents on how to support their child's maths learning. As a former maths teacher I can look at your ides and use them with own children but non specialist parents lack the confidence to do this. I'll be reading blogs like your's and Dan Meyer's to give me some ideas and inspiration.</p> I like your suggestions here.

Also, most of the work is a the start of the unit if you do the menu/alternatives based on the unit.</p> Like your rationale for letting student choose whether to pre-test or not – I've not heard the motivation argument before but it really makes sense.
