Module Focus: Grade 5 – Module 6

Module Focus: Grade 5 – Module 6
Sequence of Sessions
Overarching Objectives of this May 2014 Network Team Institute

• 
  Module Focus sessions for K-5 will follow the sequence of the Concept Development component of the specified modules, using this narrative as a tool for achieving deep understanding of mathematical concepts. Relevant examples of Fluency, Application, and Student Debrief will be highlighted in order to examine the ways in which these elements contribute to and enhance conceptual understanding.
  
  
  

High-Level Purpose of this Session

• 
  Focus. Participants will be able to identify the major work of each grade using the Curriculum Overview document as a resource in preparation for teaching these modules.
  

• 
  Coherence: P-5. Participants will draw connections between the progression documents and the careful sequence of mathematical concepts that develop within each module, thereby enabling participants to enact cross- grade coherence in their classrooms and support their colleagues to do the same.
  
• 
  Standards alignment. Participants will be able to articulate how the topics and lessons promote mastery of the focus standards and how the module addresses the major work of the grade in order to fully implement the curriculum.
  
• 
  Implementation. Participants will be prepared to implement the modules and to make appropriate instructional choices to meet the needs of their students while maintaining the balance of rigor that is built into the curriculum.
