Educational journey
  1. Entry: placement set identifies topic gaps and strengths.
  2. Unit A: number sense + bar models; daily reasoning prompts; micro‑presentations.
  3. Unit B: ratios/percent; multi‑step problems; reflection logs.
  4. Checkpoint: cumulative review; error‑pattern reteach; second presentation.
  5. Next: Cambridge checkpoint prep or transfer to science projects.

INTASC connections (course‑specific)
  • Std 4 – Content Knowledge: Conceptual models precede procedures; English math vocabulary taught with visuals and frames.
  • Std 5 – Application of Content: Non‑routine word problems and real data sets; students model, solve and defend choices.
  • Std 6 – Assessment: Error analysis on exit tickets; mastery checks drive flexible re‑teach groups.
  • Std 2 – Learner Differences: Challenge problems and supports; manipulatives and diagrams for concrete‑to‑abstract progression.
  • Std 3 – Learning Environments: Norms for math talk and productive struggle; boardwork expectations are explicit.
  • Std 8 – Instructional Strategies: Think‑alouds, worked‑example fading and board presentations with critique protocols.
