=Chapter One: Number Sense, Algebra and Functions=

Lesson One: Prime and Composite Numbers

 * Fourth grade does not have factor trees, so this will be their introduction
 * Primes and factoring is dependent on a solid knowledge of multiplication table, etc.
 * It really combines Factoring with Prime/Composite
 * Factor should be added as a vocabulary word

Lesson Two: Powers and Exponents

 * Rushes to prime factors and using exponents to express these with little preparation
 * Error on Example slide #3 54 should 5 to the 4th power

 =Unit 1: Estimating and Operations with Whole and Decimal Numbers=

//What relevant goals (e.g. content standards, course or program objectives, learning outcomes) will this design address?// || //Students will understand that. . .// • What are the big ideas? • What specific understandings about them are desired? • What misunderstandings are predictable? || ===Essential Questions:=== • What background knowledge and skills will students need to have or be brought up to speed on and how will this be done? || • What key knowledge and skills will students acquire as a result of this unit? • What should they eventually be able to so as a result of such knowledge and skills? || ====//Students will be able to know. . .//==== • Through what authentic performance tasks will students demonstrate the desired understandings? • By what criteria will performances of understanding be judged? || ===Other Evidence:=== • Through what other evidence (e.g. quizzes, tests, academic prompts, observations, homework, journals) will students demonstrate achievement of the desired results? • How will students reflect upon and self-assess their learning? ||
 * ==Stage 1 - Desired Results== ||
