Unit plan for first grade Identify, compare and sort two- and three-dimensional figures based on their defining attributes. Figures are limited to circles, semi-circles, triangles, rectangles, squares, trapezoids, hexagons, spheres, cubes, rectangular prisms, cones and cylinders. 2. Write a Reflection Use the mathematics unit plan to reflect on strategies you might use while teaching this unit to develop long-term and short-term mathematical connections. Your reflection (300-500 words) should address the following: Unit Plan Selection o Which unit plan are you using for this reflection? Developing Long-Term Connections o How can you ensure students see how mathematical concepts build across units and grade levels? o How might real-world applications make the concepts feel relevant? Developing Short-Term Connections o How will you help students connect different mathematical representations (symbolic, graphical, numerical, verbal)? Importance of Mathematical Connections o Why is it important for students to make mathematical connections
