Tomball ISD
PreK - 2nd Grade Mathematics - Make Math Happen
The new school year is on the horizon!
Curriculum Revisions
In the Scope and Sequence, there is a section in Kinder, First, and Second Grades called, General Curriculum Documents. Here you will find the YAG, Pacing Guide, and a Launch your Mathworkshop Unit. The Launch Unit is helpful for any Math teacher. This unit is full of ideas and strategies to begin your year effectively.
In First Grade, there are no assessments entered into aware during the 1st 9 weeks. The purpose is to let First Graders get used to taking tests. Their first test is 10 questions and build to 20. Teachers may need to supplement grades with other materials in the 1st 9 weeks. Some units have changed, and placement of some units have changed. Please use the new YAG, and Pacing Guide in General Curriculum Documents, in Eduohoria.
In Second Grade, we are starting the year with 'Exploring Addition and Subtraction' - to review strategies and reinforce them before they journey onto place value, and 2 and 3 digit addition and subtraction. Some units have changed, and placement of some units have changed. Please use the new YAG, and Pacing Guide in General Curriculum Documents, from Eduohoria. Also, new in Second Grade, there are data sheets to look at areas of student strengths and weaknesses, although these are not required, they are very helpful when looking at student and class data.
Test Reviews and Pre-tests were included last year in First and Second Grade. I am currently working to add Unit Pre-Assessments for tests. Reviews for tests should be made at the team level. Give a few (5 - 8) problems that students need to review. Go over the problems with them before the document goes home to parents. If you need help with creating a review for what your students need, it would be my pleasure to serve your team.
As the year progresses, it is my intent to add resources to the documents. Please let me know if you have something you would like me to add. If you find an error, please enter a helpdesk ticket so that we can track the changes. Thank you for all you do! Teachers get students to their DESTINATION Excellence!
