ELED 4314 Tentative Class Schedule Fall 2021

Assigned Readings shown on this Tentative Class Schedule should be completed on your own time PRIOR to class. Choose ONE of the week’s readings/blogs/videos to
take notes on PLUS any assigned Principles to Actions readings for that week. These notes should follow this 4-3-2-1 format: 4 Big Ideas, 3 Drawings, Images, or
Representations, 2 Quotes, 1 Question You Have. Doing these things before class will allow us to have a rich discussion and do engaging, hands-on math tasks together.
Trust me, you will want to “come to class” because it will be fun! Your 4-3-2-1s should be included in your Math Educator Resource Collection.
