This schedule includes 5 class periods per chapter to allow extra time for hard sections, for reteaching and review, for Bible and biography sections, and for testing.
You should have class periods left. You may choose to discuss features in more detail or assign an activity in each chapter. If you use activities from the Activities Manual, select drills, skill activities, or an enrichment concept in that chapter according to the need of each student. Another possibility is to use the book Better Thinking and Reasoning. Its introduction explains how to use it as a guide for study skills. A series on such skills would be very profitable for students in an intuitive geometry course.

This schedule allows 3-4 extra periods per chapter for difficult sections, review, and testing. The remaining class periods should be used to cover special topics. Use enrichment concepts from the Activities Manual or chapters from Better Thinking and Reasoning. You may wish to assign some Bible doctrine activities or math history activities as assignments or reports.
