Build collaborative teacher teams committed to fostering student self-efficacy and increasing achievement in mathematics. Part of the Every Student Can Learn Mathematics series, this practical resource provides a framework for collectively planning a unit of study in grades 3-5. Grade-level teams will learn how to work together to perform key tasks from unwrapping standards and creating team unit calendars to determining academic vocabulary and designing robust fraction units. Help your team identify what students need to know by the end of each unit and build student Introduction by Timothy D.
