Grade Subject: K-5 MATH

UNIT TOPIC AND LENGTH:
The length of the unit includes suggested time spent on the classroom

that this framework does not include individual lessons. I will spend
about two weeks on it but it will be ongoing as we start to use bigger
numbers.

VOCABULARY/KEY TERMS: ADDITION, SUBTRACTION, SUM

KEY TERMS THAT ARE USED THROUGHOUT THE UNIT AND IN THE LEARNING PLAN &
ACTIVITIES

ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE AND ACTIVITIES:

INITIAL ASSESSMENT : (IF APPLICABLE)

A quiz in the beginning and at the end to see if and how they improved and
practices quizzes daily

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT: (IF APPLICABLE)

Homework will be required

FINAL PERFORMANCE TASK:

Quizs to see if they understand addition and subtraction
LEARNING PLAN & ACTIVITIES:
What other learning experiences and instruction will enable
students to achieve the desired results? Previous experience with
numbers.
Is there enough information provided to direct educators in
developing lesson plans building towards the assessments? yes
Are there adequate descriptions of learning activities that could be
used for teaching? yes
Is there guidance for teachers on how to sequence lessons and
formative assessments leading to the final performance task? yes
Through what other evidence (e.g. quizzes, tests, academic
prompts, observations, homework, journals) will students
demonstrate achievement of the desired results? yes
How will students reflect upon and self-assess their learning? What
should they eventually be able to do as a result of such knowledge
and skill? They should be able to add and subtract by the end on
the class, and practice in class and at home. They will take a
number of quizzes and have homework.
Identify challenges in the unit (e.g. cognitive, language, etc.) and
provide recommendations of supports and strategies in the learning
plan to use with students who may experience difficulty. Use the
template in the example below to draw attention to the
supports you develop.
I will follow school procedures and provide them with extra
help and attention.
Example:
Additional Support Strategies: For students who need help
understanding the concept of argument, consider assessing and
building background knowledge using the following strategies: use of
checklists contrasting opinionated vs. objective arguments, using
video clips and focus questions to demonstrate the power of
argument and supplying sentence starters to note observations with
peers. For examples of checklists and sentence starters, visit the
following documents on the Common Core Library, under the See
