MATHEMATICS

=Mathematics - OVERVIEW=

The purpose of the Mathematics Wikispace is to provide tools for ensuring high student achievement toward select learning standards in a way that is easy for a teacher to navigate and use.
 * PURPOSE**

There is a structure to this wiki - and there's a purpose for that.
 * HOW TO INCLUDE AN OBJECTIVE AND IT'S ALIGNED STRATEGIES AND ASSESSMENTS**

Write a standard here. Unpack it in the table below. The instructional strategies and the assessments should be tied directly to the UNPACKED standard. ONLY things that truly align are included.



=**The State's Standards**= 4.07a Estimate and measure length, and describe the result in both metric and U.S. Customary units.

4.07 b Identify equivalent measurements between units within the U.S. Customary system (inches and feet; feet and yards; inches and yards; yards and miles) and between units within the metric system (millimeters and centimeters; centimeters and meters; and millimeters and meters).

Now you've got the core content, now it's time to review the enabling objectives, core instructional strategies, and core assessments, both formative and summative. The enabling objectives are the unpacked standards and are written as learning objectives. The instructional strategies and assessments are aligned to the curriculum, based on the LEVEL OF THINKING of the objective. Click here to review the FOUR LEVELS OF THINKING USED IN THIS DOCUMENT.

The enabling objectives are listed in an order that makes logical sense for students learning the standards. As the professional in the classroom, don't be shy about rearranging the order of these objectives when you help students learn them.

||< # Give students actual items/objects to measure. These items should be selected so that students will have a variety of lengths to measure. You can set the objects up at stations and provide a self-checking sheet for students to use.

 * 1) Have students go on a classroom scavenger hunt. Have them find things such as: the longest item in the class, the shortest item, an item that is less than five inches long, an item that is more than two feet long, etc. Remember to have students measure to the nearest inch. ||<  Click here to see the released test item(s) for this part of the standard. ||
