PUMAS Examples
Currently the PUMAS collection contains 79 examples. The PUMAS examples are aimed primarily at helping pre-college teachers enrich their presentation of topics in math and science. You may find a number of examples that relate to your area of interest, perhaps written in different styles, and possibly taking different approaches to the material.#1 - Critical Thinking Description : Students answer critical thinking questions such as, "Are numbers neutral?" or "When are decimals less accurate than fractions?" The goal here is for students to go deeper into thinking conceptually about the math they use. For additional ELD support, I've found that definitions work well here as well as digital sentence strips to help scaffold the vocabulary. Grouping: This can work individually or in groups. One allows for more introspection while the other creates a greater sense of dialogue.
