The purpose of this template is to allow the user to unpack the 7th grade visual art National Core Arts Standards (NCAS) into task-specific or task-neutral learning targets that then can be used during instruction and/or within an assessment tool like a rubric.

The Unpacking Process:
1. Take a look at the performance standard (7th grade) and pull out the nouns, or what students need to know.
2. Next pull out what students need to be able to do (the verbs).
3. Write learning targets or I can statements. When writing ask yourself, “What does this look like in student work?”

The Unpacking Process:
1. Take a look at the performance standard* and pull out the nouns, or what students need to know.
2. Next pull out what students need to be able to do (the verbs).
3. Write learning targets or I can statements. When writing ask yourself, “What does this look like in student work?”

*Grade level Performance Standards or Indicators will need to be added to the template prior to the first step. This is a blank template.

The purpose of this task is to help develop students' understanding of addition of fractions; it is intended as an instructional task.

This joint position statement of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the National Council

of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) highlights a set of principles for effective early math instruction.

The purpose of this task is to provide students with an opportunity to explain fraction equivalence through visual models in a particular example.

Mathematically:

Addresses standards: 3.NF.A.2a and MP.1
Helps students understand fractions in relation to whole numbers 3.NF.A.2a
Includes an example of a fraction greater than one, allowing students to see that fractions are not limited to values between $0$ and $1$
Requires students to make sense of the problem and persevere in solving it (MP.1)
In the classroom:

Engages students quickly without needing much scaffolding by the teacher
Encourages students to share their developing thinking

This module contains instructor resources and student-facing materials to facilitate the use of online forums to teach a blended, workshop-based writing/composition class.

STUDENT ACTIVITY -- 5th -- NC/TXThis is a distance-learning lesson students can complete at home.The student will use their knowledge of operations (addition and subtraction) of fractions with unequal denominators to solve real world problems.This activity was created by Out Teach (out-teach.org), a nonprofit providing outdoor experiential learning to transform Science education for students in under-served communities.

What we like about this task

Mathematically:

Addresses standards: 4.OA.A, 4.NBT.B, 4.OA.A.3, 4.NBT.B.6, MP.1, and MP.6
Requires students to understand the meaning of the quotient and remainder in order to solve problems in a real-world context
Addresses content across two major clusters (4.OA.A and 4.NBT.B) within the grade, specifically 4.OA.A.3 and 4.NBT.B.6
Requires students to interpret what is being asked and perform extensive calculations (MP.1) accurately and efficiently (MP.6)
In the classroom:

Offers opportunities for students to use strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division to solve division problems
Provides repeated practice of multi-digit division and can be easily altered to allow for repeated use throughout the year
Allows for small group, partner, or individual work

In this video, you will learn how to check out a resource such as a room, Chromebook cart, etc in Google Calendar.

The "Into the Book" web site is designed to help elementary students practice eight reading comprehension strategies through playful interactive activities. The site focuses on eight research-based strategies: Using Prior Knowledge, Making Connections, Questioning, Visualizing, Inferring, Summarizing, Evaluating and Synthesizing. "Behind the Lesson," the teacher area of the site, provides information, lesson plans and other resources for teachers.

This is a challenging fraction comparison problem. The fractions for this task have been carefully chosen to encourage and reward different methods of comparison.

Mystery Hangouts (or Skype) provide an engaging way for classrooms to learn about different regions of the US including climate, landforms, resources, economy, and people. Mystery Hangouts/Skype is a connected learning experience that allows student-centered learning, inquiry and deductive reasoning to be at the forefront of the experience. The concept is simple: Classrooms Hangouts or video calls each other and try to guess where the other classroom is located either in the United States or somewhere else in the world. On the day of the call, students use their resources in trying to figure where the other class is calling from via Google Hangout.

This is the second module in ISKME's OER Academy series that will provide participants with an introduction to OER and the value added, highlighting successful use cases from around the world. We have designed these modules to first spark the learner's interest in the topics covered and then dig deeper into the content through presentations, storytelling, and demonstrations of the tools. We will offer opportunities for learners to practice exploring the resources and tools, and reflect on how they might use them in their work.
