Assessment Blueprints - As District 11 Diamond Units/Lessons are designed and linked to the Math Web, we will add the Assessment Blueprints that teachers created. Teachers creating Diamond Units and Lessons design those based on the concepts found in Understanding by Design. It promotes the development of a comprehensive assessment plan before any of the activities are designed. This guarantees that learning activities are appropriately aligned to standards, and provide varied opportunities for students to demonstrate mastery.

Before presenting the lessons, we encourage you to review the following Assessment Blueprint for the August unit.

Assessments
Teacher observation, Hundreds Chart, Calendar Activities, Math Bingo, Manipulative/White Board/Slate assessments, EDM assessment CD’s.
Enduring Understandings are important ideas that students should carry with them years beyond the instruction received this year.

•  Number fluency leads to ease of adding and subtracting in the context of real life situations.

Essential Questions are most important “big picture” questions students should be able to answer after completing learning activities.

• When is a 2 not just worth 2? What can you say about a 4 in the tens place?

• Can you figure out the value of the coins in your mom’s purse, your dad’s pocket, or your own piggy bank?

• Can you tell time in more than one way? Can you talk about that?

• What patterns are in the number combinations to 10 and 20?

CSAP Tested Standards  Highest Frequency High Frequency Other Standards and E-Skills Highest Frequency = the timing, intensity and level of accountability is extremely high because mastery of these skills will must be demonstrated at this grade level. High Frequency = the timing, intensity and level of accountability is high because mastery of these skills is expected at this grade level. Other Standards and E-Skills = the timing, intensity, and level of mastery are not urgent. It should be introduced during this time so students can experience the concept and return in future quarters to strive towards mastery.

Standard 1:  Number Sense - August

Count combinations of coins (pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters)
Know coin values (penny, nickel, dime, and quarter)
Standard 2:  Algebra and Patterns - August
ICount by number patterns ~ counting by 1s, 2s, 5s, 10s
Identify, describe, create, and extend patterns (including patterns in shapes)
Standard 4:  Geometry - August

Parents

Math conversations at home can build your child's confidence with numbers. Talk about doubles of numbers in practical ways; five fingers on one hand and five fingers on the other hand make ten fingers altogether; two arms and two legs make four limbs; three leaves on a clover and another three leaves make six leaves. Talk about what makes numbers odd or even. Skip count by 2's, 5's, and 10's to 100 as you drive in the car or walk to school. These simple activities will strengthen your child's understanding of important math concepts without expense or resistance, and it will be fun!
