Connect math to language arts Rosa María Josefina Zuba is a student. • What is her first name? • What is her second name? • What is her third name? • What is her last name? • How many names does Rosa have? • How many names do you have? Why it matters Meet a mathematician I see the numbers one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, and twelve on the clock. Communicate Look around the classroom. Find examples of numbers. Math helps you be successful. Katherine Johnson worked for NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), a US organization that explores space. She was called a human computer. She calculated mathematical and scientific data used for US space travel. Problem : Job : 200% 200% Cook : Job : • Math is good for your brain. • Math helps you with money. • Math helps you be a good cook. • You use math in many jobs! Job : 200% CONTENT Unit 1 | thirty-seven 37 Unit 1 | 37 four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, | thirty-seven Why it matters Explain that the expression why it matters means why it is important. Read the section aloud or play the audio. Emphasize that math is useful in many ways and important to life. Academic vocabulary Briefly introduce and explain the terms brain, money, cook, and job. You don’t need to add these to the word wall at this time as they are important terms to note just in this section. However, point back to the academic word wall and revisit the word solve (e.g., solve problems). Teacher modeling Model the example. Point to a clock and indicate the numbers. Say: I see the numbers one, two, three, … twelve on the clock. Point to the classroom number (or another example). Connect math to language arts Students should connect to ordinal numbers to compare the positions of the names. Model an example first. Write your own names (first, middle, last) on the board and label each one with ordinal numbers. Then, have students complete the answer in the book. ANSWERS First: Rosa; Second: Maria; Third: Josefina, Last: Zuba; She has four names. Meet a mathematician Read aloud about the mathematician. It is important to overtly promote that anyone can be a mathematician. Explain Katherine Johnson’s contributions as especially important for a woman and a woman of color during that era as she faced discrimination. Practice Book pp. 23–24 Assessment Program Quiz: Connect to Math Get Reading! Ready for Math! COMMUNICATE UNIT 1 / CONNECT TO MATHEMATICS DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION Scaffold Take time to let students share orally about names in their native language. For example, many Spanish speakers carry both a paternal and maternal last name, and many have baptismal or other names. Offer sentence frames: My first name is . My second name is . My third name is . etc. Amplify Extend students’ knowledge and language by having them discuss other ways math helps them succeed. If time allows, have students briefly research other mathematicians on the Internet and share what they have learned. Formative Assessment • Talk and write about math: Show what I know Look for math around your school. Write about the numbers. Look for math at home. Write about the numbers. Tell your classmate what you learn about math. 67
