Math Tier 2 – Planning Guide 8/16/10 – 9/10/10   Our goal is to help bring all students up to speed on the following 4th grade ARMT weaknesses: All teachers need to review these skills with their students. The higher level classes should also incorporate open-ended questions and number talks with their students as much as possible. Lower level classes will also need to incorporate open-ended questions where they apply. You can use the math item specs to help guide you with how to set up these problems. All teachers will receive item specs for the 4th grade weaknesses and upper tier 2 teachers will receive all 5th grade item specs. This will be a great guide for you to use in the future especially with setting up the problems ARMT style. Below is a schedule that you could use to pace yourself. However, if your students master that skill at an earlier date, feel free to move forward. 8/16 – 8/20: Addition and Subtraction w/regrouping using 4 digit numbers. 8/23 – 8/27: Multiplication and Division w/whole numbers 8/30 – 9/3: Calculating Elapsed Time to the hour and minute 9/6 (Monday): Labor Day – No School 9/7 – 9/10: Review, Test on Wed. or Thurs. We will need scores ASAP to decide which kids still need help in this area for the next round of Tier 2 in addition to 5th grade math skills.
