Benchmark – Mathematics and Literacy Integrated Unit

In planning and instructing
math content, it is important to be able to create a cohesive unit that
encompasses multiple areas in math, as well as other content areas,
including literacy.

Part 1: Unit Plan

For
this benchmark, you will choose one of the three lesson plans you
created in this course to build a week-long unit plan. Use the “Math
Unit Plan” to prepare your week-long math unit plan. Utilize any
feedback from your instructor modify and adjust instruction to meet the
diverse needs of students.

For the unit plan, include the
following components: lesson title, math standards, learning objectives,
instructional strategies, summary of instruction, differentiation,
materials, resources, and technology, and formative and summative
assessments.

As you are creating your unit plan, focus on integrating the following elements:

• Major
  math concepts including number and operations, algebra, geometry,
  measurement, data analysis, problem solving, reason, communication,
  connections, and representation.
• A variety of teaching
  strategies, media, resources, and technology that encourage development
  in critical thinking and problem solving across content areas, with a
  focus on literacy.
• Effective verbal, nonverbal, and media
  communication techniques to create opportunities for active inquiry,
  collaboration, and supportive interaction.
• Differentiate instruction based on the diverse needs of students in the “Class Profile.”

Part 2: Rationale

In
250-500 words, provide a rationale that explains your reasoning behind
your chosen instructional strategies. How do the formative assessments
provide opportunities to modify instruction that promotes continuous
intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development? Explain the
value of utilizing knowledge from professionals in other content areas
to enhance instruction and learning experiences for students.

Support your findings with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
