[ACEI 2.3; InTASC 4(c), 5(d), 5(f), 5(g), 5(i); COE2.3]2.Use a variety of teaching strategies and technologies that encourage elementarystudents’ development of critical thinking and problem solving across content areas.[ACEI 3.3; InTASC 5(r), 7(k), 8(e), 8(f), 8(l), 8(r); ISTE 1b, 2a, 3a, COE 3.3]3.Use knowledge and understanding of effective verbal, nonverbal, and mediacommunication techniques to create opportunities for active inquiry, collaboration, andsupportive interaction in the elementary classroom. [ACEI 3.5; InTASC 8(g), 8(i), 8(h),8(m); ISTE 1b, 1d, 4c; COE 3.5]Assessment DescriptionIn planning and instructing math content, it is important to be able to create a cohesive unit thatencompasses multiple areas in math, as well as other content areas, including literacy.Part 1: Unit PlanFor this benchmark, you will choose one of the three lesson plans you created in this course tobuild a week-long unit plan. Use the “Math Unit Plan” to prepare your week-long math unitplan. Utilize any feedback from your instructor modify and adjust instruction to meet thediverse needs of students.
