Math+Curriculum+Mapping

Math Maps Prior to 2014-2015 This page has resources that will support you to develop Math Curriculum Maps.

Example Here is an example of an almost complete Kindergarten Math Curriculum Map that uses the same format we are: 

The Math CCLS 

Unit Focus/Unit Goal/Learning Targets What is the focus for the unit? What do you want students to be able to do at the completion of the unit? For larger in-depth units - are there key learning targets that students should achieve along the way?

Math Content Ideas Wiggins Quote (2011) - Look closely at all the key nouns in the CCLS and treat them as concepts: what ideas should frame learning, be investigated, and recur in increasingly sophisticated ways, as part of learning and assessment.

It is essential the content matches the CCLS. If we are to be CCLS aligned we need to be precise in what we determine the content to be. If the standards match an Investigations unit then the 'In This Unit' section may give you some guidance as to what might go in the Content section of the Curriculum Map.

Math Skills Ideas Wiggins Quote (2011) - Look closely at all the key verbs in the document and determine their meaning: Students who can meet the standard are able to do - what - as stated and implied by the verb(s).

What are the skills you will develop during this unit? These need to be precise and informed by the CCLS. The following maps have ideas about how to word these. Be critical of these, don't just copy and paste them. What are the skills that best fit our units?

Investigations highlights key words in yellow throughout the unit guide that may also be helpful.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The following maps are from Riverton School District, they have some good examples of Math Vocabulary you may include. Remember we want to establish the key words to focus on in each unit. You will need to be selective, remember less can be more. If the lists are too long then we will not be able to focus closely on the ones that are important! <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
