Arithmetic to Algebra

Do you need something that will help you track student's progress in using the 8 Common Core Math Practices? Are you a math coach that needs to track teacher's use of the 8 Practices? This document breaks down the 8 Practices into "Look For's" that will help a teacher or coach spot them in action. It also aligns the practices to Marzano's Domain 1 Design Questions which helps in planning purposes.

This lesson planning template walks you through planning a problem solving lesson. It guides you through each step of the lesson including the before, during, and after portions. This plan is used in my Filling the Room with Peas lesson plan.

This template can be used to unwrap or unpack math standards into digestible chunks. It is perfect for writing unit plans which include the concepts students must know and the skills they must be able to perform.

This form allows students to walk step by step through solving a multi-step problem. It guides them through drawing a picture, working out the math, explaining and justifying their answers. This is also used in my Filling a Room With Peas lesson plan.
