Mathematics
Number Corner
• calendar/grid• patterns• counting• estimation• probability
• place value• measurement• money• data
A short, daily, skill-building program designed to introduce, reinforce, and extend mathematical concepts regarding:
InvestigationsStudents will understand the fundamental concepts of:• number and operations• geometry• data• measurement• early algebra
Math WorkshopA typical math workshop includes:
• Opening
• Work Period
• Closing
example
Math WorkshopExample Work Period:
“Toss the Chips”• Students toss a fixed number of counters
and then find the different combinations of that fixed number.
Assessment(in addition to concepts assessed from Investigations curriculum)
Kathy Richardson – Mathematical Perspectives
Beginning of Year• Counting Objects• Counting Out a Particular Quantity• One More/One Less
Assessment(in addition to concepts assessed from Investigations curriculum)

End of Year• Changing Numbers
Math NotebooksMost work created by a student will be recorded in a math notebook. This notebook will remain in the classroom in order to review, and expand upon, mathematical concepts throughout the year.
Math HomeworkAfter the first six-weeks grading period weekly homework will begin.The homework should review concepts learned from the previous week.

5E Instructional ModelThe 5E model is a learning cycle, or sequence, that enables students to build their own understanding from experiences and new ideas.
5E Instructional ModelThe 5 stages are:• Engage• Explore• Explain• Elaborate• Evaluate
5E Instructional ModelEngage:• Raise curiosity and access prior knowledge
5E Instructional ModelExplore:• Hands on lab activities designed to
encourage the generating of questions and possibilities.
5E Instructional ModelExplain:• Students communicate what they have
learned and share ideas with each other.
5E Instructional ModelElaborate:• Students expand on what they have
learned, make connections, and apply their understanding through additional activities.
5E Instructional ModelEvaluate:• Assess how much student learning and
understanding has taken place.
5E Instructional ModelFrequently not all 5 phases are completed in one day. The student directed pace usually expands a lesson chronologically, but it also increases understanding.
Science NotebooksMost work created from the 5E model is recorded in a science notebook. This notebook will remain in the classroom in order to review, and expand upon, scientific concepts throughout the year.
Science FairThe district’s science fair is conducted in the spring.Whole classroom projects are entered, and they can all be viewed at a central location within the district.
