Concept Units-Math
Concept units are opportunities for students to gain an in-depth understanding of mathematical concepts.
The units consist of a collection of backwards-planned, carefully-crafted, cognitively-rigorous rich math tasks. The learning experiences in Concept Units require students to engage in problem solving, reasoning, critical thinking and significant cognitive work.
Units will be facilitated by a teacher during the normal math course (“Project Time”); the units will take the place of most of the projects and feel similar in many ways (some projects will remain in the math course). The key difference between the units and projects is that mathematical concepts, not cognitive skills, are the driving force behind the units.
