What will you experience in this session?
Process for designing standards-based mathematics units
Systematic approach for identifying vocabulary and other language objectives
Research-based, instructional strategies that promote language acquisition
Create a Year-Long Plan
Write each content standard on a separate sticky note
“Chunk” skills and concepts together to determine the “big ideas”
Decide a sequence and be prepared to provide a rationale
Order of skill development Language demand (context embedded or reduced) Connections to other content areas
Keep your eyes on the prize!Unit Theme (“Big Idea”): Geometry: Quadrilaterals &
TrianglesGrade-Level Standards: (Don’t forget to integrate algebra and problem-solving!) 5.3.A – Classify quadrilaterals 5.3.B – Identify, sketch, measure acute, right & obtuse angles 5.3.C – Identify, describe & classify triangles by angle measure and
number of congruent sides 5.3.D – Determine the formula for the area of a parallelogram by
relating it to the area of a rectangle 5.3.E – Determine the formula for the area of a triangle by relating it
to the area of a parallelogram 5.3.F – Determine the perimeters and areas of triangles and
parallelograms 5.3.G – Draw quadrilaterals and triangles from given information
about sides and angles 5.3.H – Determine number & location of lines of symmetry in
triangles & quadrilaterals 5.3.I – Solve single- and multi-step word problems about perimeter
and area 5.4.A – Describe & create a rule for numerical & geometric patterns
& extend patterns
