Preparing for Trimester 2-Math

11 weeks January 2-March 17 / Week 12 - Assessment March 20-24 / Spring Break

This is an ESL classroom in a Muslim country. I teach English, Math, Science. The students are all girls. They live in a town outside of the city. The school and the surroundings have far less resources than those in the city. It seems that most of the girls did not come to my class with enough prior knowledge from 1st grade so I am needing to start there.

The instructional base I will start at is First grade. For differentiation I will give some students 2nd to 3rd grade level activities and for some I will give Kindergarten activities. There are skills that all of the students need to learn regardless of current levels so I will focus on 1st grade material to introduce those skills.

Resources Needed that I Don't Already Have:

1. Projector!!!!

2. Large Dice

3. Rulers

4. Number Strips

Target Learning Objectives:

1. Counting 1's to 100

2. Number recognition to 100
