7. Three Key Things about EM #1: Cumulative Scope & Sequence (Spiral curriculum) –Topics/skills tend to be introduced at an earlier grade –Mastery over time Beginning Developing Secure (Grade Level Mastery Objectives)

8. Cumulative Scope & Sequence (Spiral curriculum)

9. Three Key Things about EM #2: Multiple methods to solve –What works best? For student? For situation/problem? #3: Emphasis on the language of math –More reading and writing in math –Math-specific vocabulary (e.g. quotient; product; base x height; simplify; graphs, such as stem-and-leaf, line plot, etc.)
