In this unit, students will be extending their mathematical thinking in an intensive version of a math meeting. Throughout Pearson’s EnVisions Topic 9: Numbers to 1,000, students will be learning to depict and describe numbers up to 1,000. This includes physical representations, pictorial representations, and abstract representations. Students will also be working with their ideas around place value, identifying patterns by skip counting, and comparing numbers to increase their number sense. In this extension of math meeting, students will be engaging in small-group interventions and extensions of previous lessons, working with technology to solve math problems, and building upon concepts to prepare them for the day’s lesson. By incorporating more intentional interventions at the beginning of each lesson, students who need more support can receive it so that they can access the new material each day and students who crave extensions and can dive deeper into the concepts have an opportunity to challenge themselves as well. This will allow all students to access the new material each day as well as provide more individualized attention to those most at-risk students and give meaningful, on-task challenges and extension for the students who can be pushed.

In this portrait, you can find our learning goals, the rationale behind my unit plan, the curriculum standards this unit covered, the assessments that would have been used, and the learning activities. No student work or video commentary is provided as this is a unit I planned but was only able to teach one lesson of before school’s closed for Covid-19.
