Math Curriculum – Inquiry Units We are working with curriculum by Cathy

Fosnot for 3 of our 7 units (Place Value, Multiplication, and Division)

This allows for a deeper understanding of concepts and development of new skills.

It helps establish a community where students learn to communicate their mathematical thinking and work to solve problems together.

Spelling Students will be taught lessons to introduce new words,

patterns and letter-sound relationships. A word wall is introduced in the beginning of the year and

is added to as the year progresses. All lessons will also be applied to everyday reading and writing.

Some of these lessons include: Using words you know (to decode and spell other words) Guess the covered word (Using context clues to identify unfamiliar-in-

print words) Making words (to identify patterns in words and use those patterns to

read/spell other words) Reading/Writing Rhymes (use patterns to decode and spell a lot of

words) What looks right? (to know correct spelling by writing a word and

seeing if it looks right)
