How Paw Paw is Filling the Holes in the Go Math! Curriculum

Our Leadership Team The team  Three 6-12 teachers (English and Math)  Two elementary teachers (2 nd /3 rd and 5 th )  Principal Lead SIP day and Institute Day Activities  Plan with Anji  Provide the staff with knowledge and tools that we have obtained

Yes, we are one of THOSE schools…

1 st Grade Hole 1.OA.2 Solve word problems that call for addition of three whole numbers whose sum is less than or equal to 20, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. Application Standard Go Math! has 2 lessons related to this standard, which has been categorized as “major”. Students are not required to draw their own pictures, and there are no application problems – procedural only.

5 th Grade Hole 5.NBT.5 Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm. Procedural Standard based on Conceptual Understandings Go Math! only has straight computational practice and only uses one strategy. There is no mention of the area model, partial products, etc.

6 th Grade Hole 6.NS.7c Understand the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number line; interpret absolute value as the magnitude for a positive or negative quantity in a real world situation. For example, for an account balance of -30 dollars, write |-30| = 30 to describe the size of the debt in dollars. Purple = ConceptualRed = Application Go Math! has a total of 5 problems related to the application portion of this standard, and most are simply “word problems” rather than problems requiring deep thought.
