Math Leveled Daily Curriculum LEVEL 2 Product Preview

Hi, this is Asha from TheAutismHelper.com, and this is a product preview of my math Level Daily Curriculum Level 2. So the Level Daily Curriculum is a year-long curriculum that's individualized. It's created specifically with students with autism or special needs. It could be utilized by any students, but the visuals and structure really help our more challenged learners Succeed and Excel. So there's 3 different levels of this curriculum. Level 1 focuses on foundational skills, Level 2 focuses on those emerging academic skills, and Level 3 works on our highest academic skills and takes everything to the most complex level. So you can buy these, these units, these curriculums separately, or you can buy them as a bundle. So many of our classrooms are multi-level classrooms. You might have students at all 3 levels or 2 different levels. So buying you— buying this as a bundle will allow you to have a math curriculum for all of your learners in one spot. Today we're going to focus specifically on the Level Daily Curriculum Level 2. So the Level Daily Curriculum, like I said, is structured. It's going to break down each skill into manageable parts. For our Level 2 learners, they're starting to learn some more complex academic skills, so we're going to work on these skills slowly and meticulously to make sure that each skill step is mastered before we go on to those bigger, more challenging components. This curriculum is visually based. Visuals really help our learners learn skills more quickly and understand the concepts more efficiently. This curriculum has embedded assessments and utilizes database decision-making. So this is going to be great for showing you exactly what type of data to take and how to utilize that data to plan future curricular decisions, which is really cool. So Level 2, we have 8 different units plus a review unit. So we're gonna talk about some of the focus topics of Level 2. So Unit 1 really focuses on those kind of review and emerging skills. So basically making sure that counting, number words, everything like that is really, really strong before we jump into addition. So the next few units focuses on addition by building slowly. So we're gonna work on adding 0 through 5, then adding 0 through 7, then 0 through 9, then 0 through 10. So we're gonna really slowly build upon those previously mastered skills, and this will be really successful for your learners. So instead of trying to jump in and work on all single-digit addition at one time, having these baby steps is gonna make your students master each concept much more quickly. We're also gonna be working on odd and even numbers. Coin identification value, time to the hour. Then we start working on skip counting, so working on counting by 2s, counting by 5s, counting by 10s. Unit 8 works on those in kind of in discrimination, 2s, 5s, and 10s, alternating between those to make sure those skills are really, really mastered. We're also gonna work on irregular patterns, dollar value, and very basic coin combinations. In Unit 7, we'll bring— introduce time to the half hour, and Unit 8 will work on time to the hour and half hour. Working on these skills separately and then once they're fully mastered, then working on them together will be much more successful for your learners. So like I said, there's 8 units. Within each unit, there's a pre-test and a post-test, a grading rubric, an anchor chart, and 20 different activities. So if you planned this out, you could have each unit take 1 month of the school year. You'll have 8 units plus a 9th review unit. This unit would seamlessly take 1 full year, even into your summer school program. It's so amazing knowing that my math planning is completely done for the school year. I can't tell you what a stress relief that is for me, and to know that it's going to function well for my students. All of our learners are different, so you might want to make this unit last— make each unit last more time and have this curriculum lengthen out over a longer time period. Many of us have learners for 2, 3, or 4 years, and many of your learners might need more time to master each topic. So you could have them do each unit twice. You could have them repeat the activities and continue on until they have that fully mastered and have this curriculum take a little bit longer. So there's a lot of ways to individualize. So the pretest and the posttest is going to give you that great baseline number. It's going to tell you where the student is on these skills before you start any instruction. Then after you've done all your great teaching using the 20 activities, then you're going to see how much growth they've had, which is always really exciting for me. The grading rubric is my favorite part of this curriculum. So this is going to show you exactly how to score the pretest and the posttest and then what to do with those scores. So there's very detailed instructions on how to exactly score the pretest and the posttest. So you're going to come up with a numerical value at each pretest and posttest. That'll be great because you'll be able to get a percentage, and many of us have IEP goals that are percentages based or school grading system that utilize percentage. So it'll be great to have the option to use percent correct as well. Now this is the cool part. So after you take the post-test, you'll be able to see what your students' errors mean. Not all of your students may have mastered every single new concept in each unit. So this is going to show you, based on where their errors are, what they still need practice on. So you don't want to work on things that your students already have mastered. You want to work on things that they still have weaknesses on. We have to be very efficient efficient with our curricular planning. So this is gonna show you how to make database decisions using that post-test data and continue on with future activities and provide some great suggested activities right here. So each unit has an anchor chart. This anchor chart's gonna highlight the 2 to 3 focus topics of each unit. The anchor charts are the only part of this curriculum that are in color, so everything else you can print on black and white, so your printers can thank me. But these will be great to post in the front of your room, to laminate and put in your students' binders. You could send these home for homework to kind of reiterate these skills at home. So this is gonna really be what your students reference. We want to teach our students to be problem solvers, not always asking us when they need help, but learning where they can find the answer on their own. And this is the place where they can find the answer on their own, on these anchor charts. So anchor charts will highlight the different addition skills that are in each unit, the other different math skills, time to the hour, for example. Um, show examples of different irregular patterns, dollar values, counting by 5s. So when your student is working on these skills within the activities, if they get confused, they'll have somewhere to go to problem solve and find the answer. So like I said, there's 20 different activities included in each unit, so this could be great to use one activity each day of the month and have enough activities for the entire month. The activities are all black and white, so they'll be easy to print and easy to photocopy to make a little workbook for for your students. These activities are very visual. They switch up a lot too, which is great. Your students aren't going to be bored. We're working on the same concepts in a lot of different ways, so we ensure that the skills are really generalized. Also, some of the pre— the older concepts come back in each unit. So maybe in Unit 4, you might see a concept from Unit 2 and Unit 3 in there. I want to make sure that my students are continuously getting practice on those previously learned skills so we don't forget anything. So this unit is great for students who need to work on foundational academic skills. It brings up those basic math skills that are both academic and functional in a way that's easy for our students to understand. This is great for students with emerging verbal skills and emerging writing skills. This is also great for early childhood as a lot of these skills are Common Core-based early childhood skills. So this unit might be perfect for some of your learners but just need a little adapting. As we know, not every kid is the same, and those little differences can make a big diff— make a big deal. But we can do some very small adaptations to make this unit great for your students. So you can add in different writing or response pops— prompts for students that struggle for writing. For those addition questions, you could go ahead and write in 3 different response answers, and they circle the correct answer. You can use the anchor chart for matching tasks. If this— if this curriculum is moving too quickly for your students, You can use the anchor charts to really build that matching skills and build the independence. Again, you can work on these skills more slowly. You don't need each unit to take 1 month. You can have each unit take 3 months and have this curriculum go at a pace based on your students' learning. Let's check out what else is included in this curriculum. So this curriculum also includes a grading data sheet. So this is where, where you'll organize your pre-test and your post-test scores and see all those that great growth that your students will be having. You also have a unit data sheet for your daily work. So every day you can write the date, what activity the student does, how many correct or incorrect, or how many prompts they have. You'll also have different lesson plan templates. You'll have a whole class daily lesson plan and a whole class weekly lesson plan. So however you kind of typically plan your day or your schedule, this will align perfectly and you'll be able to plan ahead all of your math instruction on exactly what each student student will be working on. So like I said, I'm really thrilled to have my math planning done for the entire school year. It makes my stress level so much lower, it makes going back to school so much easier, and I cannot wait for my students to use this and see the great growth that they have.
