14. Online Planning Guide
Shows the clusters of standards using a color coded system
Green Square – Major Clusters (70%)
Blue Square – Supporting Clusters (20%)
Yellow Circle – Additional Clusters (10%)
The color coded system used in each lesson to identify standard clusters is NOT the same as the unit bands that Go Math uses. Can be used to plan out your entire year.

15. Curriculum Map Design
The Curriculum Mapping Team looked at the 2016 Released Test Questions and Gap Reports to see what areas were in need of additional support
We identified problems that had a negative 5% difference between the region and the district.

16. NYS Released Test Questions & Additional Resources
Links are provided in the mapping that will take you directly to the released test questions, as well as numerous additional support resources. These resources will be located on the share drive in a Smart Notebook file.
This is an example from the Grade 3 Curriculum Map that shows the released test questions numbers for Chapter 1 with additional supporting resources that can be used in class based on information from the GAP report.

17. SMART Notebook File and Resources
The Smart Notebook file contains slides by chapter, as well as additional resource links
These will be located on the Share Drive.
