Math Word Problems
Annotations by Susan White
|
Track #60299
Format: Resource list
|
|
My 4th grade students are having difficulty solving simple mathematical word problems due to inability to read and/or to make appropriate mathematical operation choices.
The 4th grade Math / 3-5 cluster ESTIMATION, MEASUREMENT, AND COMPUTATION content standard states that In order to develop understanding of Estimation, Measurement, and Computation, the mathematics curriculum should include problems which require students to apply appropriate tools and units of measurement, to develop effective estimation and computation strategies for producing reasonable results, and to calculate using appropriate tools such as mental mathematics, technology, manipulatives, and pencil-and-paper. This unit will include online lesson s to increase the use of the internet in the classroom for research and to practice skills as described in the Profiler teacher Usage Survey.

Positively Pyramid!
Annotations by Susan White
|
Track #47163
Format: Resource list
|
|
This unit is designed to increase students desire and abilities in comprehension of social studies materials. The track will give students a background on Ancient Egypt through the novel Egypt Game. It will then extend to a study of pyramids and also to a science lesson on using simple machines to build things on a grander scale. The Tennessee Curriculum states Students will exhibit knowledge of history identifying and describing major events, people, and trends. This addresses the Profile Survey in that it will allow students to ask questions to help them in comprehension and will also help my students to spot the important parts of a topic and discuss why.

Ben And Me
Annotations by Susan White

Track #35564
Format: Resource list
|
|
This unit will incorporate online websites to address a learning gap in
writing. Since 3rd grade does not take a writing assessment test,
I am basing my learning gap evidence on teacher observations.
40% of my students are not able to write 4 complete sentences correctly.
The Tennessee Curriculum
Language Arts Grade Cluster 3-5 Writing Standard states that the
student will develop the structural and creative skills necessary
to produce written language that can be read and interpreted
by various audiences. This unit will increase the use of the internet in
my classroom for research purposes as stated in the teacher profile survey.

The Human Body
Annotations by Susan White
|
Track #19238
Format: Resource list
|
|
The stated learning gap is: Students cannot identify major organs and functions of the body, nor could they identify common nutritional foods. I chose the Human Body unit because it uses internet resources to explore interesting topics related to the human body and its major systems, it also explores nutrtion and nutritional value of foods. Health Education Standard 2: Understanding growth and development. Profiler: using what we learn and applying it to other areas of our life.

Annotations by Susan White

Track #19236
Format: Resource list

This unit focuses on practicing creative writing skills using a student made manipulative sentence strip. The teacher is able to provide immediate feedback to the student and helps them to become more confident about their writing. Students are then able to move their paragraphs around to place events in order. The unit also demonstrates the use of adjectives and their importance in adding description and color to their paragraphs. Content Standard: the student will develop the structural and creative skills necessary to produce written language that can be read and interpreted by various audiences.
