Quality of Explanation of the Subject Matter: Limited (1)
Worksheets and support "tell" student the procedure to complete the work.
on Mar 27, 02:58am Evaluation
Quality of Assessments: Strong (2)
Students follow specific procedures to complete much of the work. Using this as an assessment may yield faulty information.
on Mar 27, 02:58am Evaluation
Quality of Instructional and Practice Exercises: Limited (1)
Students are asked to follow a specific algorithm/path through the work. This does not necessarily support instruction of this content.

Opportunities for Deeper Learning: Very Weak (0)
Students are asked to follow a specific algorithm/path through the work. Extensions may not have strong connections to math standards.
The 20/20 unit is best implemented as a STEM unit. Mathematics is related to science and engineering while students explore real world engineering applications within a mathematical context. Sixth grade CCSS Mathematics standards are focal for this lesson. The unit provides basic information for CCSS 6.SP.5 a-c. Modifications to the lesson design are needed to strengthen the degree of alignment to these standards.
Promoted as a 5th grade alignment for Colorado science standards, this unit addresses HCPS III SC.6.2.2 (explain how the needs of society have influenced the development and use of technologies).
