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.
August Assessment Blueprint: Learning About Numbers
|
Enduring Understandings
are important ideas that students should carry with them years beyond the
instruction received this year.
-
Numbers
can be represented in patterns, graphs, and shapes.
-
Shapes can be used
to help us see patterns and measure.
-
Graphs help us understand
information.
Essential Questions
are most important “big picture” questions students should be able to answer
after completing learning activities.
-
How
might you show a repeating pattern of shapes or numbers?
-
How
does a graph give information without many words?
-
How
many ways can you show the length of something?

Resources for Teachers
• For Scott Foresman and Houghton Mifflin page numbers click
here.
• Mountain Math, Math Their Way, Creative Mathematics (Kim Sutton), Math
Solutions (Marilyn Burns), Math Perspectives (Kathy Richardson) (if your
building has purchased these resources)
• Your particular math series (see chart on Unit pages listing page numbers
to support standards)
• Success Maker (ask your LTE)
• Exemplars (CSAP style problem solving with writing, 4-point rubrics, and
sample student papers available on D11 website For Teachers pages)
• Math Keys (electronic manipulative – ask your LTE)
Parents
You can help support your first grader’s math learning by
providing counting opportunities at home. Counting uncooked pasta or beans
in a cup or other quantity reinforces 1 to 1 correspondence and counting
fluency. Remarking about what time it is when supper is ready (or other
regular home events) on the kitchen clock reinforces the idea of time.
Asking about how many items are in your hand without actually counting first
reinforces estimation skills. Asking which hand has more, less, or the same
amount strengthens amount awareness. Talking about shapes and patterns in
wall paper, tiles, or plants helps children become aware of the many
patterns around us.
