welcome to the tutorial that explores
the activity kids grade 1 English and
French immersion versions and grade 2
we'll start by unpacking and beginning
to organize a kit then move to the
pedagogy of the cards how they were
created and how they can be used as a
core resource in your math classroom
each kit has two boxes the first box is
number and the second box is the
remaining 4 strands at the front of the
number box you'll find two small
booklets the getting started guide and
the pearson mathematics learning
progression we'll talk about the getting
started guide in the planning video but
know that it includes tools to help you
use mythology the learning progression
is the backbone of mythology you can
watch the learning progression tutorial
to learn more and we'll talk about it in
relation to the cards shortly you'll
find a series of overview cards that
describe mythology including how to
organize your kit card descriptions and
kit contents next there are the cluster
cards or tabs each cluster represents a
math concept there are more than 20
clusters in each grade you'll see that
each card details contents so they're
handy when organizing your kit or when
looking for a specific card onto the
main part of the kit you'll find more
than 100 double-sided teacher cards
student cards some are double-sided not
all the teacher cards have a
corresponding student card and five
double-sided multi-use cards for example
a place value mat a ten frame note that
there are ten copies of each student
card as well as ten copies of the
multi-use cards all cards are laminated
will use the first cluster card to
organize the teacher and student cards
you would follow the same process to
organize all of the cards at the end of
each cluster you'll find a consolidation
card these cards look at multiple
focuses in the cluster and can be used
as a source of summative assessment
there are a few differences that we want
to highlight about the grade two kit
we've introduced two additional card
types math everyday cards our whole
class routines that can be used to
revisit Khan
Zeb's throughout the year each card has
four activities all guided by the same
Big Ideas there's a math everyday card
for each of the 22 clusters in grade 2
the other addition is 44 intervention
activities 2 per cluster designed for
small group pairs or individual work
these cards focus on earlier stages in
the development of concepts allowing you
to support all learners in exploration
of a shared math concept now let's look
at the teacher cards the cards were
co-created and tested extensively by
classroom teachers across Canada at each
grade there are more than 100 cards
together they address 100% of your
curriculum let's do a quick walkthrough
of a card structure on side a activity
details are included at the top of each
card there are two links to mythology
resources recommended little books that
support the math focus and the learning
progressions big idea that is explored
in the activity side a of each card
details a game or an activity that
explores a math concept and is fully
developed as a three-part lesson the
goal when designing the cards was to
make the experience as complete as
possible so that you have everything you
need in one place for this reason
differentiation suggestions are included
with the activity instructions probing
questions are featured at the bottom of
the card to help you uncover what
students understand about the task and
math concept what to look for are
observational assessment prompts that
you can use in the moment to gauge
student understanding and uncover
misconceptions the highlight for
students section is filled with
suggestions to help students connect to
prior learning and encourage
metacognition building the
interconnected network of math learning
that is central to the learning
progression side B of each card
describes through words and
illustrations what you might see
students do and say as they complete the
activity there are typically six boxes
moving from earlier stages of
development to grade specific
understanding found in the final box
this information can be helpful for
observational assessment you can see at
a glance what a student understands
and use the next steps to guide them
forward as noted typically there are six
boxes that show a progression in some
cases there may be four or you may come
across a side B where there are two sets
of boxes distinguished by different
colors each set shows the progression of
a different focus the second being more
advanced and certainly last but not
least the student cards these cards are
often double-sided to support
differentiation in this particular
example students using side a can count
to twenty the cards extension encourages
use of side B for those students who are
ready to count to fifty the teacher
cards are designed as full lessons
mythology CA will include all of these
cards teacher and student as well as
extended instructional content and
supports for example mini lessons and
related professional learning at point
of use you can find line masters for the
activity cards at the mythology
marketing site wwp pearson mythology CA
select implementation resources then
navigate to the grade level activity kit
and then to the relevant strand the
materials list at the top of the
activity card indicates related line
masters you can download all masters or
download line masters for single card
they're available in two formats PDF and
word giving you an option to modify if
you'd like
you'll also find grade level
correlations on this site we mentioned
earlier that each activity kit addresses
an entire curriculum these correlations
align all outcomes and expectations to
the activity cards mythology little
books and the learning progression this
identifies cards that correspond to
parts of your curriculum while the
alignment to the learning progression
provides the big picture of math
learning that concludes this tutorial on
the activity kids we hope that it's been
helpful
