SALTA 5th grade

Projects M 2 and M 3

Projects M 2 and M 3 lessons are based on 50-minute class times. The Canyons School District math block is 75 minutes and pacing for M 2 in the map correlates with the 75 minute time. For example, M 2 pacing suggests that most Units take approximately 30 days to teach, based on a 50-minute period. Please use the Pacing Guide to plan M 2 lessons accordingly. Projects M 2 and M 3 are each a series of six curriculum units designed for grades K-2 (M 2 ) and 3-5 (M 3 ) to foster inquiry and engage students in critical thinking, problem solving, and communication activities. Projects M 2 and M 3 deliver even more ways for teachers to motivate and challenge advanced students in grades 1-5 and support the Utah Mathematics Core Standards and NAGC exemplary practices. The program provides simulated or real-life problems so students can actively solve them in the same ways that practicing mathematicians do. Rich verbal and written mathematical communication is a key component of Project M 2 and M 3 . Each Unit includes Teacher’s Guide, Teacher Resource Pack: Hint and Think Beyond Cards, Word Wall Cards, Student Mathematician’s Journal and Manipulatives Website: k12.kendallhunt.com
