Welcome! This site provides a comprehensive math framework with ready-to-use lesson plans, routines and assessment resources for math instruction for students that require instruction aligned to the Essential Elements and who are on Alternate Assessment. The lessons are grouped in sets for emergent and conventional learners. To determine which set of lessons to use with a student, teachers use the guiding criterion below.
Guiding Criteria
Guiding Criteria
Does the student:
Know some numbers?
Understand that numbers represent quantities?
Demonstrate interest and engagement during math activities?
Have a means of interaction and communication?
Understands sequences in familiar events and/or cause/effect?
If all are answered yes, the student will likely be successful with conventional comprehensive math instruction.
If any are answered no, the student most likely needs emergent math instruction.
The Emergent/Conventional Comparison Chart provides details about lesson structures and components.
The Class-wide Math Intervention Map will assist in creating instructional groupings.
Entire Step by Step Implementation Guide for both sets of lessons.
Blank Step by Step Implementation Guide for Emergent and Conventional Learners
Emergent Lessons - Focus is on building sense of number, anticipating and noticing, patterns of engagement, integrating core words and language using comparisons, attributes, numbers, shape, and place in space
Conventional Lessons - Focus is on enhancing sense of number, counting, subitizing, estimating, problem solving, graphing, shape, math talk, and use of tools
