The basic concepts of perimeter, volume, and mass will be discussed. Participants will understand how to use the Anchor, Think and Do, Apply lesson format when planning instructional activities using perimeter and volume as an example. Using the Anchor, Think and Do, Apply format, participants will match Essential Elements to purposes for instruction and determine anchor activities that match purposes.

This module will provide information specific to lines and angles so that you can continue to support student understanding and learning of the properties of shape.

After completing this module, participants will understand the function of an exponent and be able to calculate a simple equation with exponents. Participants will also understand that probability is the likelihood of an event and learn how to use tools to support student understanding of probability.

This module focuses on understanding the attribute of length, how to compare and measure units, and the use of number lines and rulers in the measuring process.

Participants will learn about money concepts, the language of time, the skills involved in reading a clock, and how questions can be rephrased into statements so that students can demonstrate their receptive understanding of time concepts.

In this module, participants will learn that graphs are tools for visually organizing and comparing data about two or more items, that for students to learn to think statistically, the ?data? must always be related to a question or a series of questions and that object, and that picture and bar graphs are useful to display categorical data and line plots, circle charts, and tables tend are useful in displaying numerical data. Participants will also understand how students will learn to interoperate data from increasingly more complex displays.

Participants will learn how multiple means of representation helps support algebraic thinking, how teaching algebraic thinking involves helping students make connections, describe, and justify general patterns, and the importance of the equal sign.

In this module, participants will gain understanding of how students can use language descriptors as a foundation for developing mathematical language using variables. Participants will also learn how students can use prior knowledge of counting and patterns to build an understanding of Functions and Rate and find the rate of change using a function table or graph.

Participants will understand that recognizing and creating patterns is a basic math skill upon which many mathematical concepts are based and will learn about using repetition with variety to support student understanding of patterns. Participants will also understand that the base-ten number system is full of patterns, and helping students recognize those patterns gives the student a way of making connections between what they already know and what they are learning.

This document provides a set of tools to help schools, LEAs, and SEAs in appropriately identifying and serving ELs with disabilities. The tools give examples of how schools can refer, assess, and identify ELs who may have a disability; how to write an IEP and select accommodations for ELs with disabilities; and how to compare data about EL students with disabilities from LEA to LEA.

TIES Inclusive Practice Series (TIPS) are designed to share practical information, ideas, and strategies on specific topics and practices to support inclusive education.

Part 1 of this module provides an introduction to teaching science using an inquiry-based model, the 5E model.

Part 2 of this module provides guidance on the use of the 5E model, strategies to employ in each of the 5E model stages, and connections between UDL and the 5E model.

Part 3 of this module provides guidance on DLM science resources to use while planning science instruction based on the 5E model.

This module focuses on teaching the Constructing Explanations component of SEP 6 though use of a writing framework. The module also includes guidance for teaching the SEP and framework at different levels of complexity with DLM Science Essential Elements and linkage levels.
