The first installment of my Common
Core "
Math Practice to Mastery!" is ready for
download. I decided to develop this program because I've been so disappointed with how the math
program at my school just doesn't match up well with the new standards AND
doesn't give my students enough practice to master skills. Each new concept has
very few practice examples and the homework is spiraling. So, I've developed a
program that will utilize the "Most Difficult First" method, where students who
already have the skill mastered can become tutor leaders in your class and not
have to do the repetitive practice that most learners need. Did you know that
one standard can have several skills involved? 2.NBT.5
(Fluently add and subtract within 100 using
strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the
relationship between addition and subtraction.) has 11 skills that must be
mastered!
2.NBT.5.C1 (Concept 1) Addition: 2-digit +
1-digit
2.NBT.5.C2 (Concept 2) Addition: Balance 2-digit equations
2.NBT.5.C3 (Concept 3) Addition: Input/Output 2-digit
tables
2.NBT.5.C4 (Concept 4) Addition: Two 2-digit numbers
2.NBT.5.C5 (Concept 5) Mixed Operations: 2-digit
numbers
2.NBT.5.C6
(Concept 6) Mixed Operations: Balance 2-digit
equations
2.NBT.5.C7 (Concept 7) Mixed Operations: Compare 2-digit
equations
2.NBT.5.C8 (Concept 8) Subtraction: 2-digit Input/Output
tables
2.NBT.5.C9 (Concept 9) Subtraction: 2-digit with
1-digit
2.NBT.5.C10 (Concept 10) Subtraction: Balance 2-digit
equations
2.NBT.5.C11
(Concept 11) Subtraction: Two 2-digit numbers
My
program includes significant practice and strategies to enable all students to
master the skills! I'm beginning with 2nd grade--2.NBT.5 and will continue development
of the rest of the standards and other grade levels soon.
