Amplify Desmos Math Manipulatives List provides teachers with a glance at what manipulatives will be needed to support students’ conceptual understanding as the teacher moves through the Concrete-Representation-Abstract (CRA) model of instruction. The use of manipulatives helps support mathematical understanding, which is equally as important as the ability to perform procedural skills. ●​ Amplify Desmos Math Manipulatives List Amplify’s Math Unit and Lesson Plan Templates are a tool for teachers to help plan math units and lessons. They highlight key components of the Amplify Desmos Math units and lessons that are needed for high-quality instruction, including standards, learning intentions, success criteria, pacing, and instructional routines. Canyons School District Math Block is created to support teachers as they increase student mathematical understanding utilizing the Amplify Desmos Math and Building Fact Fluency curriculum. Planning for daily math instruction should be based around the Concrete- Representational- Abstract (CRA model) and include best practices. The Numeracy Components on the CSD Math Block should be included each day, specifically at least 15 minutes of skill-based instruction so the teacher can remediate and extend students as supported by data. Year-at-a-Glance is used to support planning and flexible pacing for the year. The document shows the order of standards taught in conjunction with the Amplify Desmos Math curriculum. Additionally, the math DWSBA window dates correspond with the scope and sequence of the standards. Following this document will ensure that all students have access to all the standards by the end of the year. Scope and Sequence is accessed through links in the Year-at-a-Glance, and contains a yearly overview, suggested flexible pacing, and Scope and Sequence for teaching standards utilizing the Amplify Desmos Math curriculum. The scope and sequence allows the teacher to plan with coherence, rigor, and focus on the standards, as well as assessment options so teachers can check for understanding throughout the lesson. ●​ Amplify Unit Unpacking Template ●​ Amplify Lesson Planning Template
