Math Teacher Guides and Lessons
 Become familiar with the materials provided
with Do The Math

Component
I.
The Do Now
(5 minutes)
As much about the culture of the tutorial as
the content, the Do Now functions as a bridge
to other components of the tutorial. The Do
Now will cover fluency, basic skills, and/or
number sense problem solving.
II. Foundational Skills
(30 minutes)
Provide students with support around
foundational math skills and vocabulary to fill in
the gaps in learning. During this time you will
review and drill basic skills, individualized to the
student needs.
To provide students with high dosages of
support and clarification as they begin to
practice and engage with new material that
directly relates to the Common Core State
Standards at that grade level.

IV. Ticket To
Leave/Exit Ticket
(5 minutes)
To check independent practice, revisit the
tutorial objectives, and/or summarize key
ideas.

to teaching.
Students need to score above a 25% in order to show they have enough
background knowledge to access the information in the module. If they
score above an 80% then they do not need this module.
After teaching the first ten lessons with fidelity, then use the Beginning
Module Assessment to plan for instruction.
End-of Module Assessment- given at the end of the module.
Students need to score 80%
or above in order to move on to the next module.
If they score less than 80%, then reteach concepts missed.

Gradual Release Model
 Phase 1: The teacher models and records the
mathematical representation on the board.
 Phase 2: The teacher models again, now
eliciting responses from students, and again
records on the board.
 Phase 3: Students work in pairs to do the
mathematics and then the teacher, once
again, records on the board.
 Phase 4: Students work independently,
monitored and supported by the teacher.

action? How is this structure supportive of
student learning?
What evidence do you see of strong
implementation of the curriculum? Did you
see the Fellow reading from the script, why is
this important?
What does the student engagement look
like? How can you tell that students are
engaged in the learning?
What do you see the Fellow doing? What do
you see the students doing?
Are there noticings or wonderings that you
have?

Planning for a Lesson
 Read through one lesson from your module.
 Plan for lesson:
 Objective
 Exit Ticket
 Vocabulary
 Misconceptions
 Strategies
 Questions
 Work Space problems identified
For Use by DPS and Blueprint Only.
Mock Teach A Lesson
 Working with a partner, read through two
separate lessons and then mock teach them to
each other.
 Experience what it is like to teach a lesson using
Do The Math
 Experience what it is like to be a student
 Provide each other feedback
For Use by DPS and Blueprint Only.
Exit Ticket
o Answer the following questions on the Exit
Ticket:

o
How many lessons are in 1 module? How many
lessons do you need to teach in a module with
fidelity before reassessing student understanding,
why?
How do you plan to use the Beginning Module
Assessment when plan for instruction?
Explain why there is a strong emphasis on the
importance of lesson planning?
What questions do you still have around
implementation of curriculum?
