Using the Scope and Sequence
All student learning objectives as listed in the Scope and Sequence are correlated to the appropriate grade level. These learning objectives are arranged in logical order but do not necessarily follow a set teaching sequence. A code (e.g., P-5 - meaning the fifth objective in the strand Problem Solving) is given to each objective. Using the code assigned to each objective, the teacher can refer back and forth between the grade specific Strand Overviews and the Scope and Sequence.
As you plan, you will discover that some objectives will be covered in more than one unit. You may also find that not all objectives indicated in a topic or subtopic will be covered in a single unit of study. They will have to be included in subsequent units.
The following coding is used for the five strands:
Key:
| A blank space before an asterisk indicates that no formal instruction should occur although informal instruction or readiness activities could take place.
An Asterisk (*) indicates the grade level(s) at which the objective should be formally taught and evaluated.
An arrow (=>) following the asterisk means that review or reinforcement should occur when necessary.
The objectives indicated by an arrow are not included in the grade specific Strand Overviews, but it is important to assure that students understand these concepts and have acquired these skills. |
