Instructional Practices
Teaching from a range of complex text is optimized when teachers in all subject areas implement the following strategies on a routine basis:
1. Ensuring wide reading from complex text that varies in length.
2. Making close reading and rereading of texts central to lessons.
3. Emphasizing text-specific complex questions, and cognitively complex tasks, reinforce focus on the text and cultivate independence.
4. Emphasizing students supporting answers based upon evidence from the text.
5. Providing extensive research and writing opportunities (claims and evidence).
6. Integration of Florida Standards for Mathematical Practice.

Science and Engineering Practices (NRC Framework for K-12 Science Education, 2010)
 Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering).
 Developing and using models.
 Planning and carrying out investigations.
 Analyzing and interpreting data.
 Using mathematics, information and computer technology, and computational thinking.
 Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering).
 Engaging in argument from evidence.
 Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information.
Additional standards/ practices that are to be taught in this course:
 LAFS.5.W.3.8: Recall relevant information from experiences or gather relevant information from print and digital sources; summarize or paraphrase
information in notes and finished work, and provide a list of sources.
 LAFS.5.W.3.9: Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.
a. Apply grade 5 Reading standards to literature (e.g., “Compare and contrast two or more characters, settings, or events in a story or a drama,
drawing on specific details in the text [e.g., how characters interact]”).
b. Apply grade 5 Reading standards to informational texts (e.g., “Explain how an author uses reasons and evidence to support particular points in
a text, identifying which reasons and evidence support which point[s]”).
 LAFS.5.SL.1.1: Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 5 topics
and texts, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly.
a. Come to discussions prepared, having read or studied required material; explicitly draw on that preparation and other information known
about the topic to explore ideas under discussion.
b. Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions and carry out assigned roles.
c. Pose and respond to specific questions by making comments that contribute to the discussion and elaborate on the remarks of others.
d. Review the key ideas expressed and draw conclusions in light of information and knowledge gained from the discussions.
 LAFS.5.RI.1.3: Explain the relationships or interactions between two or more individuals, events, ideas, or concepts in a historical, scientific, or technical
text based on specific information in the text.
 LAFS.5.RI.2.4: Determine the meaning of general academic and domain-specific words and phrases in a text relevant to a grade 5 topic or subject area.
 LAFS.5.RI.4.10: By the end of the year, read and comprehend informational texts, including history/social studies, science, and technical texts, at the high
end of the grades 4–5 text complexity band independently and proficiently.
 MAFS.5.MD.2.2: Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). Use operations on fractions for this grade to
solve problems involving information presented in line plots. For example, given different measurements of liquid in identical beakers, find the amount
of liquid each beaker would contain if the total amount in all the beakers were redistributed equally.
 MAFS.5.G.1.1: Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin)
arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates.
Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to
travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and xcoordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate).

Florida Standards for Mathematical Practice:
Integrate Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice (MP) as applicable:
 MAFS.K12.MP.1.1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
 MAFS.K12.MP.2.1 Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
 MAFS.K12.MP.3.1 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
 MAFS.K12.MP.4.1 Model with mathematics.
 MAFS.K12.MP.5.1 Use appropriate tools strategically.
 MAFS.K12.MP.6.1 Attend to precision.
 MAFS.K12.MP.7.1 Look for and make use of structure.
 MAFS.K12.MP.8.1 Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
English Language Development Standards:
 ELD.K12.ELL.SC.1 English language learners communicate information, ideas and concepts necessary for academic success in the content area of
Science.
 ELD.K12.ELL.SI.1 English language learners communicate for social and instructional purposes within the school setting.
English Language Development ELD Standards Special Notes Section:
Teachers are required to provide listening, speaking, reading and writing instruction that allows English language learners (ELL) to communicate information,
ideas and concepts for academic success in the content area of Science. For the given level of English language proficiency and with visual, graphic, or interactive
support, students will interact with grade level words, expressions, sentences and discourse to process or produce language necessary for academic success The
ELD standard should specify a relevant content area concept or topic of study chosen by curriculum developers and teachers which maximizes an ELL's need for
communication and social skills. To access an ELL supporting document which delineates performance definitions and descriptors, please click on the following
