welcome to mathology.ca
this is a teacher platform that contains
carefully curated lessons that are
curriculum focused engaging and support
differentiation by helping teachers
identify next steps in math learning
here you see the home page where we're
able to search in a variety of ways
such as keyword using the search bar
curriculum or learning progression
in the center you see a variety of
sample long range pathways
i'm going to use grade 3 as an example
when you get into the sample long range
pathway you see a variety of units along
the left-hand side and as you click on
the units it opens up through the center
beginning with a little book
followed by a variety of activities and
ending in a consolidation task
as we continue through each unit you see
a very
similar framework as they often begin
with little books and continue with
activities
however
if you need to make some changes you're
able to use the sample plan to adapt it
to meet the needs of your class
let's take a closer look at the little
book
as i click on the little book you'll see
information about the lesson
in addition to the lesson itself
here you can share the student book via
the google classroom or microsoft teams
as well as clicking on the link
you're able to share the url
students are able to read and listen to
the story
and use the audio button to have it read
to them
they also have access to a follow-up
activity to continue working on those
skills
let's go back to mathology.ca we're able
to see some differentiated support
here you see a variety of line masters
that are
modifiable in word format
that you can use to meet the needs of
your class
let's go back and take a look at an
activity this time
we'll use composing and decomposing
quantities
here the about tab looks very similar to
the little book
in addition to about the lesson you have
access to the curriculum in my case i'm
sitting in an alberta curriculum
however your provincial curriculum would
be reflected here
as well as the learning progression
when you go up to the top you have
access to the lesson
including all the materials
that are modifiable for your needs
lesson instructions
access to student cards that are
printable right there on the spot
as well as interactive tools if you go
back up to the top
you'll see that there are assessment and
differentiated tabs
first i want to show you how it evolves
up the grades so let's go back home
to be able to access a grade 4 plan
in grade 4 5 and 6 it works very
similarly
in that the units are still curated
across the
along the left hand side and as you
click on them they open up into the
center
however grade four to six begins with a
readiness task
as you click on the readiness task you
see information about the task
as well as details for both the student
and teacher version
this gives you a sense of your students
readiness before beginning a lesson
if students are ready for the new
learning you're able to go right into
the first lesson of the unit
and if they need further support
it will link to previous grades in order
to support that learning
if you go back and we click into the
first lesson
you'll see that many of the features are
very similar
including the materials in the lesson
structure
however there have been some additions
as we move up the grades
things like exit tickets practice and
even lesson slides that you can share
with your students again via google
classroom and microsoft teams
this time we'll go into the assessment
tab where you're able to keep track of
student learning
as you see a student
show a certain behavior or strategy
you can click on them and drag them into
the box
when i click on the next steps i'm
provided with next steps in the moment
to help me move them along the continuum
as i move back up to the top i'm able to
see next steps
here i have access to both mini lessons
for those that need intervention
and extension activities
some possible misconceptions
as well as next steps
in class and at home
if i scroll back up i'm able to access
the analytics tab where it's gathering
data in the classroom both for your
whole class and individual students
if i set the grade to grade 3 to see how
my grade 3 class is doing
you'll quickly see at a glance how the
whole class
is progressing
by looking at the status you're able to
quickly see those that are on track in
progress or need some more attention
all of this can be printed
for ease of use
as you scroll back up to the top you're
also able to access individual students
where you're able to see how they're
doing along the way
let's go back home
