Unit Introduction

This unit’s digital document demonstrates how standards can be decomposed for project-based learning and extended using Bloom’s Taxonomy. Each infographic includes an overview, examples, and an accompanying audio narration to guide the learning experience

$An infographic titled Decomposing Standards for PBL Planning: The 4A Framework – Action, Anchor, Approach, Assessment. The top includes an overview box explaining that standards are broken into four parts for focused, measurable learning. Below, the standard CCSS.Math.Content.5.NF.B.7.c is shown. A flowchart runs left to right across four steps: Action – the verb “Solve” real-world word problems. Anchor – concepts: division of unit fractions by non-zero whole numbers, and division of whole numbers by unit fractions. Approach – methods: use fraction models or use equations. Assessment – four aligned student learning objectives, each beginning “Students will solve real-world word problems…” with variations depending on fraction type and whether fraction models or equations are used. The layout uses purple headers, icons for each step, arrows indicating sequence, and bold/underlined/italic formatting to highlight verbs, concepts, and methods.$

$An infographic titled Extending Standards with Bloom’s Taxonomy: Using Bloom’s to Extend Beyond Mastery. The overview explains that mastery of the standard is the baseline, but Bloom’s Taxonomy can extend rigor for proficient students by raising verbs like Solve to higher-order tasks such as Analyze and Solve or Create and Solve. The central chart is a purple gradient grid with six Bloom’s levels across the top (Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, Create) and four subjects down the side (Math, Reading/Language Arts, Science, Social Studies). Each cell contains three aligned verbs, such as “List, Recall, Identify” under Remember in Math, or “Design, Generate, Model” under Create. Icons appear above each Bloom’s level and beside each subject. At the bottom, a comparison section shows Standard Mastery (solve division of unit fractions by whole numbers using fraction models) and Standard Extension (create and solve word problems with division of unit fractions by whole numbers using fraction models), connected with an arrow.$
