Mini-Unit Overview:
My mini-unit is a twelve lesson unit with one day for a review and an extra day set aside for reteaching anything the students did not retain mastery in. This unit of study is in mathematics; more
specifically place values. Throughout the unit students were instructed on how to order, compare, and use
basic arithmetic to solve equations. Students were assessed prior to instruction, during instruction, and
following instruction.
Standards Addressed:
Common Core Standards and Indicators
4.NBT.A.4: Generalize place value understanding for multi-digit numbers.
4.NBT.A.4.2: Read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number
names, and expanded form. Compare two multi-digit numbers based on the meanings of digits in
each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
4.NBT.A.4.3: Use place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place.
4.NBT.B.4: Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.
4.NBT.B.4.4: Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using standard arithmetic.
Unit Objective:
When given an equation or word sentence the student will be able to demonstrate their
understanding of place values to compare, order, or use basic arithmetic strategies in order to solve the
problem with 100% accuracy.
Unit Objectives
The student will be able
to:
1. Compare
numbers using
less than,
greater than,
and equal to.
2. Order numbers
from least to
greatest and
vice versa.
3. Use basic
arithmetic
strategies to
solve equations
and word
sentences.

is a good determinant
on what a students

assessment within their

Accommodations
Students will be
allowed to sit anywhere
they would like for the
independent reading
section of the lesson.
ESOL students will be
encouraged to sit closer
to the instructor during
the read-aloud and
conversation. If notes
are passed out ESOL
students will receive a
completed copy.

I will be using the students McGraw-Hill mathematics text books throughout the units
lessons. My cooperating teacher and grade level at Lakeview Elementary uses them every day
for their math notes and homework. This will keep the students sense of consistency/structure.
I will be adding group work, team competitions, and manipulates. Group work is often used in
this classroom due to the classroom community being positive and supporting. My class also has
fraction tiles and pie pieces for each student to use with their hands and Unifix cubes. My
personal touch to the lessons will be a constant encouragement of using manipulates, an
exploring period before the lesson starts with manipulates, and a team competition at the end of
each lesson. The team competition will allow the students to test their skills with one another. It
also will encourage engagement throughout the lesson due to the fact that the students know they
are going to compete against one another soon.

Formative Assessments
The Am I Ready pre-assessment quiz contains thirteen equations on the front side. The
fourteenth question is in word form. The back side is on vocabulary. This side contains a chart where
students fill vocabulary words next to their corresponding definitions using a word box. This assessment
is not recorded as a grade, but instead marked and recorded based on what students already have
mastered. The total question number is twenty.
The Check My Progress quiz is very similar to the pre-assessment in structure and quantity of
questions. This assessment will be recorded as a grade, but also used as a tool to decide what material
needs to be re-taught. The total question number is twenty
The conclusive exam in this unit is a two page front and back exam with thirty questions. Twenty
questions are equations that need solved or number sentences that need compared, while the other ten are
word problems or chart questions that use a table or data to answer.
All quizzes count as thirty percent while tests are seventy percent.
These assessments are aligned with the Common Core standards 4.NBT.A and 4.NBT.B that deal
with place values, ordering/comparing numbers, and basic arithmetic strategies. The McGraw-Hill math
textbook directly follows these standards and indicators within each chapter.

volume of questions and the addition of word problems and chart related questions. The post-assessment
also contains ten more questions than the pre and during-assessments. This may change the students
score due the fact that each question will then be worth less.
