Mini-Lesson Videos provide comprehensive standards-aligned instructional lessons! The videos give students in-depth, easy-to-understand examples and models to help build mastery of each standard. Mini-Lessons are currently available for most grade-level standards, keep an eye out because we are always adding mini lessons for other grade levels and subject areas!
The mini-lessons are embedded at the beginning of the topic session located within My Study Plan, My Recommended Topics of Study, and in My Galaxies in LiftOff. Students have the option to watch the video to get a quick refresher before they attempt the 10-question set on the topic. If you would like to ensure students watch the mini-lesson video, follow the steps below to assign it as an assignment!
