Book Description

What exactly do your students need to know by the end of each unit of mathematics study throughout the school year? This practical resource empowers teacher teams to collectively plan for and deliver highly effective units of study in grades 6-8. The authors clearly outline how to generate essential leaing standards, create a team unit calendar, identify prior knowledge, and complete many other essential collaborative tasks. Use this resource to provide intermediate grade-level students with a more equitable mathematics leaing experienceUnderstand how to collaboratively plan mathematics units in grades 6-8 as a professional leaing community (PLC).Study the seven unit-planning elements and lea how to incorporate each in essential unit design.Review the role of the PLC at Work® process in enhancing student leaing and teacher collaboration.Observe three model units, one for each grade, for ratios and proportional reasoning.Receive tools and templates for effective unit planning.Contents:Acknowledgments Table of Contents About the Authors Introduction Part One:Mathematics Unit Planning and Design Elements Chapter 1:Planning for Student Leaing of Mathematics in Grades 6 8 Chapter 2:Unit Planning as a Collaborative Mathematics Team Part Two:Ratios and Proportional Reasoning Examples, Grades 6 8 Chapter 3:Grade 6 Unit--Ratios and Rates Chapter 4:Grade 7 Unit--Proportional Reasoning Chapter 5:Grade 8 Unit--Linear Functions and Equations Epilogue Appendix A:Create a Proficiency Map Appendix B:Team Checklist and Questions for Mathematics Unit Planning References and Resources Index
