What’s the difference between Grade Level and Unit Overview? vs.
Hyperlinks and Standards
Standards for Mathematical Practice descriptors specific to the unit
Tech out the links
But we need more!!! Please work samples to:
Two ways we can count… We can "see" instantly a handful of things and without knowing how many there are - this is called subitizing. The other way of counting is enumerating - counting up individual numbers
Number Sense Trajectory –Putting It All Together
It’s all about building 5s and 10s Rekenreks Bears Pattern blocks Rekenreks Dots plates and Cards Connecting cubes
What the heck is a Rekenrek?
UNIT 1 FAL In the frameworks however it if hyperlinked to a site “outside of the frameworks” It can also be found on our wikispace in the FALs section
Unit 2 FAL: Counting Dots
Concerns posted to the wiki Understand numbers through 20 Rote Count through 100 Counting backwards Culminating Task: Find the 5 th Tower Ordinal numbers and patterns GKIDS-how can we connect this with the frameworks

Writing in Math Standards for Mathematical Practice require students to express their thinking and record their strategies in written form.
Standards for Mathematical Practice SMP 1 – Students are required to explain their thinking when making sense of a problem. SMP 2 – Students are required to construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Why Write in Math Class? Marilyn Burns (2004): “Writing in math class supports learning because it required students to organize, clarify, and reflect on their ideas—all useful processes for making sense of mathematics. In addition, when students write, their papers provide a window into their understandings, their misconceptions and their feelings about the content.”
Math Journals Purposes: – Record strategies and solutions – Reflect upon learning – Explain and justify thinking – Provide a chronological record of student math thinking throughout the year – Means of assessment to guide future instruction
