Tuttu to Ten Math Unit for K3/K4 Created by: Patti Lloyd Joan Bennett Rod Lloyd
Tuttu to Ten • This unit came to be through interacting with K3/K4 students as we rode the bus with them to and from school. We found these young students loved to look for and count the caribou on the way. What began by simply learning to count singles and groups of caribou and the concept of how many, transformed into discussing the importance of caribou to our families. • We began by looking at what was important to the students. • ILF: Environmental Realm
Tuttu to Ten • Environmental Realm • OU (Overarching Understanding) A person becomes a provider for his or her family through education and preparation. • EQ (Essential Question) What skills, understandings, beliefs, and values does a person need in order to be a good provider?
