4. Use the Frame Routinely

Frame = chunked skills + organization!

Just like the title says, I feel like the use of the frame is all about how I chunk skills within a section of a unit, as well as the organization that allows the student to access the information. I've used the frame itself a couple of times (Polynomials, Quadratics, Radicals), but I also find myself having the same mindset of pre-planning the frame as I do with setting up digital resources like OneNote and Schoology. 

There are times when I hesitate to use the frame itself because of all the text and numbers that would be on it for each skillset of a unit. I know that I can break the frame apart into less Main Ideas at the same time, but then I found myself using the frame more as a "digressive" activity to outline different aspects of a given Unit before a major or minor assessment. 

In this way, when notes are set up in OneNote, each section and note-sheet is clearly labeled and chunked into each skillset that is going to be asked of the students.
