Directions (10)Use the Standards Documents on the tableUsing the MNPS Pacing Guides for the 1st Nine WeeksProduce a performance task specific to your grade level

Produce Performance Task (10)Typically, this involves the teacher posting 4-6 varying math concepts for students to work.The teacher acts as a facilitator who encourages a variety of ways to solve problems and helps model efficient thinking when necessary.Students solve problems in their math journals or notebooks.Correct together and students take turns sharing their individual strategies with the class.Concepts are consistently revisited throughout the year so that they are not taught in isolation and/or forgotten.Math Review Spiral Review Suggested: To use the TN State Standards SPIs/GLEs TCAP Prep 1st-4th grades (All year)Manufacture Math Review (10)

Gradual Release of Responsibility C.R.A. Model

ConcreteRepresentational Abstract Students experience inquiry-based methods of understanding key conceptsUse of concrete representation when introducing new conceptsProblem-based interactive learning should be the foundation in teaching for understanding Teachers implement strategies that help students develop understandingUtilize resources and methods beyond the adopted textbookOpportunities to work with small group instruction, enrichment, etc.
