Curricular materials connect content standards and practice standards in authentic ways.
✓
Lessons were written with content and practice standards in mind. At least one segment of every lesson includes the opportunity for students to engage in a MP. The connection between the practice standard and the content standard is made explicit through the margin notes, purpose statements, and facilitation guidance. For example, in level 6 module 1 lesson 25, students connect 6.RP.A.3c (Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100; solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percent.) to MP1 (Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them) as they gather information and make a plan to solve a complex problem.
5. Accessibility, Differentiation, and Engagement A.
Curricular materials intentionally promote student engagement, student-to-student discourse, and student ownership of learning.
✓
Student engagement and mathematical discourse is promoted throughout Eureka Math2 in various ways, including the following: In each lesson, Launch creates a need for the day’s learning through sample student work, images, videos, instructional routines, or real-world problems. Throughout the lesson, students have access to materials and tools that promote engagement. For example, the Learn book contains removables, or pages meant to be removed from the student book, to insert in a whiteboard or use in group activities. These activities are designed for Learn also includes lesson pages that relate to the content so that students can fully participate in their own learning. Finally, if the lesson does not already use a pictorial or physical model, teacher notes often point out where students may choose from familiar tools to discover efficiencies, differences in precision, and new applications of tools to support their own learning. Rather than being completely made up of teacher-directed work, lessons help teachers facilitate student-driven learning. Many lessons and lesson segments have meaningful tasks that integrate students’ interests, driving engagement and discourse, followed by a sharing of student understandings and work. The sample dialogue provides teachers with sample student responses as well as probing, assessing, and advancing questions to facilitate these discussions.
