Vocabulary • Introduced
– Non-bolded denotes vocabulary being introduced in the grade level
– Some words are considered “introduced” it they are taught for the first time in that objective or specific unit
– Example: number line is a vocabulary word that is introduced in Obj.1 (Kindergarten) however number line also shows up on Obj.3 (3rd grade) as an introduced word. It shows up this way in 3rd grade because it is the first time they are seeing fractions on a number line.
• Ongoing– Bolded denotes
vocabulary already taught or introduced (previous grade levels)

Math Facts• “Teachers who use timed tests believe that the tests help children learn
basic facts. This makes no instructional sense. Children who perform well under time pressure display their skills. Children who have difficulty with skills, or who work more slowly, run the risk of reinforcing wrong learning under pressure. In addition, children can become fearful and negative toward their math learning." (Burns, 2000, p.157)
