UEN Teacher Tips is a weekly series from the UEN Professional Development team. Every Tuesday, we'll share a new tip, how-to video and classroom resource. When life is busy and time is short, we hope these tips lead to bright ideas, just in time! This week's tip is "Revolutionize Elementary Math" by Val O'Bryan.

The purpose of this document is to provide a brief overview of the most essential content in the grade level along with a progression of how the content was addressed in the prior grade level and will prepare students for content in the future grade level. This is not a comprehensive list of content in the grade level as defined in the Utah Core Standards, but rather highlights the major work of the grade level.

This resource includes a link to: ● Core Standards ● Core Guides ● Major Works

This lesson is meant to introduce students to the concept of unit rate. It uses a Canva presentation to introduce the concept. For practice, student will calculate the population density of various countries and compare it to the population density of Utah. There is a worksheet to complete during independent practice, an exit ticket, and an extension activity for fast finishers. Image Credits:"Flag Map Of The World" by GDJ is in the public domain through OpenClipArt.org upload agreement"Utah" by Arohletter1 is in the public domain through OpenClipArt.org upload agreementImage Credit: Christian Cragun

Being organized is a key component to student success. Learn how to help students, and ourselves, be able to keep our Google Drives organized.

In this lesson students will be learning about 3-D shapes. They watch a video about 3-D shape and how to describe those shapes by identifying the number of faces those shapes have. Students will then find examples of 3-D shapes in the classroom and photograph them. They will then create a book using the Pages app on the iPad to show what they have learned about 3-D shapes in their environment.Image Citation: Picture taken by Amanda Lawing

The Utah Core Standards define what students should understand and be able to do in their study of mathematics. These standards are aligned to scientifically based content standards. They drive high quality instruction through statewide comprehensive expectations for all students. The standards outline essential knowledge, concepts, and skills to be mastered at each grade level or within a critical content area. The standards provide a foundation for ensuring learning within the classroom.

A Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) is a framework focused on three instructional tiers (Universal, Targeted, and Intensive) engineered to meet student needs using a systematic approach. The Utah Multi-Tiered System of Support (UMTSS) is designed to address student learning in mathematics encompassing these critical components: High-quality Instruction, Team-based Problem Solving, and Data-based Decision Making.

This lesson is written using the Launch, Explore, Summarize lesson plan format and includes a link to a chart to anticipate student strategies and monitor student strategies and thinking as they work through the problems. Tasks also include a recording sheet where applicable. They are meant to be used as ideas. Please make changes and adaptations as necessary for the students in your class. All of the ideas for the tasks in this bank are common picture book math problems or were created by UVU School of Education Faculty.  If you use one of these tasks, please complete our Picture Book Task Survey so that we can learn more about your experience teaching, how students solve problems, and improve our Picture Book Task Bank.If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact us at creativelearning@uvu.edu or nicole.gearing@uvu.edu.

How do districts ensure that what is taught and tested in classrooms aligns with the state standards and assessment? One approach is through vertical alignment of the district’s written curriculum with state standards and assessments. Vertical alignment articulates the logical, consistent order for teaching the standards based content in a subject area from one grade level or course to the next.

Using voice typing in Google Docs allows users to explore writing through a new lens.

What could be more fun that having students create a sea battle in Google Sheets.
