What’s included in our Spanish language arts curriculum

Year at a glance

The program’s intentional Knowledge Sequence from K–5 connects knowledge and vocabulary within a grade level and across grade levels, for deeper reading comprehension and preparation for college, career, and life. Instead of “activating prior knowledge,” Amplify Caminos helps you build it in the classroom from day one, for every child, expanding each student’s knowledge base long before they transition to reading to learn.

Access and equity

We believe we have a responsibility to provide literacy instruction that gives every student the same opportunity to succeed and excel.

We know that early reading affects achievement throughout school and beyond—well into college and career. Yet most literacy programs continue to fall short of supporting early literacy success. That’s why we’re so proud that CKLA is helping close the reading gap between students within diverse communities.

Explore how we make learning equitable for all learners with the resources below.

Built on the Science of Reading

Watching students learn to read: magic. Knowing how they get there: science.

As you consider your next core ELA program, it’s critically important to understand what the Science of Reading really means and what it tells us about how to teach more effectively. Unlike other programs, Amplify CKLA was built upon these insights and practices, making it easier for teachers to implement this proven approach.

Download the resources below to dive deeper into the Science of Reading.

In grades K–2, students complete one full lesson that builds foundational reading skills and one full lesson that builds background knowledge.
In grades 3–5, students complete one integrated lesson combining skills and knowledge with increasingly complex texts, close reading, and a greater emphasis on writing

Skills by grade

What students read

Amplify CKLA puts a variety of texts in the hands of students every day to build and strengthen background knowledge and vocabulary, listening and reading comprehension, and decoding and fluency skills.

A comprehensive approach to literacy instruction requires that students have a wide range of text experiences that include reading, listening, discussing, and writing. Check out our text complexity guide to learn more by clicking here. The overwhelming majority of questions, tasks, and assignments in CKLA materials are text-dependent. See how we use questioning and analysis skills to help students understand text in CKLA here.

More than that, we ensure the texts students read represent the world around them. With a diverse range of authors, topics, and characters, all students have ample access to both windows and mirrors. Our texts include:

Authentic books.
Authentic text passages.
Student Readers.
Novel Guides (grades 3–5).

Access and equity

We believe we have a responsibility to provide literacy instruction that gives every student the same opportunity to succeed and excel.

We know that early reading affects achievement throughout school and beyond—well into college and career. Yet most literacy programs continue to fall short of supporting early literacy success. That’s why we’re so proud that CKLA is helping close the reading gap between students within diverse communities.

Explore how we make learning equitable for all learners with the resources below.

Componentes de una lección

A los estudiantes en un aula de Amplify Desmos Math California se les ve (¡y se les escucha!) haciendo preguntas, debatiendo respuestas, justificando su razonamiento, enfrentándose a problemas y trabajando juntos o de forma individual.

Una lección típica de Amplify Desmos Math California incluye:

Calentamiento: Un problema breve e interesante para que los estudiantes se sientan atraídos a la lección.
Actividades: Una o dos actividades cortas que desafíen las destrezas de los estudiantes para resolver problemas.
Síntesis: Una discusión para revisar y consolidar los conceptos importantes de la lección.
Demuestra lo que sabes (Show What You Know) y Reflexión (Reflection): Preguntas para que los estudiantes demuestren lo que aprendieron en la lección. (Nota: La evaluación de la lección “Demuestra lo que sabes” es opcional en kindergarten y primer grado).
Centros (Centers): Estaciones de actividades dirigidas por los estudiantes que refuerzan los conceptos matemáticos que aprendieron durante las actividades de la lección usando formatos interactivos y, a menudo, lúdicos. En kindergarten y primer grado, el tiempo destinado a los Centros se incorpora en los últimos 15 minutos de cada lección.

Para apoyar, fortalecer y ampliar el aprendizaje de los estudiantes después de la lección, Amplify Desmos Math California ofrece opciones de:

Diferenciación: Minilecciones (Mini-Lessons), Centros, Extensiones, Boost Personalized Learning y Fluency Practice (Práctica de la fluidez).
Práctica: Problemas adicionales que el maestro puede asignar para trabajar en clase o como tarea.

Apoye el aprendizaje de las matemáticas en casa.

Usted puede apoyar el aprendizaje de las matemáticas de su estudiante fuera de la escuela de muchas maneras:

El maestro puede asignar problemas de práctica al final de cada lección como trabajo en clase o como tarea. Si su estudiante ya ha completado los problemas de práctica de la lección, pídale que le explique cómo resolvió cada problema o que comente las partes que le resultaron difíciles. Haga preguntas de seguimiento para fomentar el uso del lenguaje matemático mientras explica su razonamiento, por ejemplo: “¿Cómo lo sabes?”, “¿Cómo puedes demostrar tu razonamiento?” o “¿Cómo describirías eso?”. Si su estudiante no consigue avanzar, hágale preguntas de apoyo, por ejemplo: “¿Qué información de aquí conoces?” o “¿Cómo podrías representar este problema?”.

Los juegos de Centro (Center game) se alinean con las matemáticas de la unidad y se pueden jugar con los estudiantes fuera de clase. Es posible que el maestro les explique a los estudiantes cómo jugar un juego de Centro durante o después de una lección. Si no es así, usted puede enseñarle a jugar usando instrucciones fáciles de seguir. Regístrese para obtener una cuenta gratuita y explorar los Centros y el contenido adicional para grados K a 5 en nuestras Colecciones destacadas.

Relacione las matemáticas con actividades cotidianas en casa, ya sea ir de compras, preparar la comida o planear una visita a la tienda. Su estudiante puede ayudarle a calcular cuántas manzanas más hay en el carrito que naranjas, dividir un sándwich en cuatro partes o calcular cuánto cambio recibirá si paga con un billete de diez dólares. Anímelo a señalar las maneras en que ustedes usan las matemáticas en sus quehaceres diarios.

Recuerde al estudiante que bloquearse es una parte necesaria (incluso benéfica) del proceso de aprendizaje. Muchos estudiantes (al igual que personas adultas) temen equivocarse, pero las investigaciones demuestran que cometer errores ayuda a que nuestro cerebro se desarrolle. Cuando su estudiante no consiga avanzar en un problema, anímelo a seguir intentando diferentes estrategias, aunque no esté seguro de si son correctas.

Universal access

We believe we have a responsibility to provide literacy instruction that gives every student the same opportunity to succeed and excel.

We know that early reading affects achievement throughout school and beyond—well into college and career. Yet most literacy programs continue to fall short of supporting early literacy success. That’s why we’re so proud that CKLA is helping close the reading gap between students within diverse communities.

Sobre la enseñanza de las matemáticas centrada en el estudiante

La enseñanza centrada en el estudiante puede parecer distinta a las formas de aprender matemáticas del pasado y a la manera en que usted aprendió matemáticas. En lugar de memorizar fórmulas y trucos, el aprendizaje centrado en el estudiante se enfoca en ofrecer oportunidades para descubrir cómo funcionan las matemáticas. Las investigaciones revelan que tanto estudiantes como maestros prefieren este método, además de que los maestros informan que la enseñanza centrada en el estudiante ha ayudado a los suyos a aprender más matemáticas.

A diverse group of students, one wearing a unicorn headband, looks at a teacher pointing to an amplify math bar graph on a board.

Esta forma de aprendizaje ayuda a los estudiantes a:

Comprender cómo funcionan los conceptos matemáticos.
Recordar lo que aprenden en clase y aplicar sus conocimientos a situaciones nuevas.
Obtener mejores resultados en exámenes estandarizados y tener mejores calificaciones que los estudiantes que aprenden con otros métodos.
Aprender a comunicarse tanto por escrito como verbalmente, comprender y replicar las opiniones de los demás y adquirir confianza para resolver nuevos problemas.
Desarrollar habilidades clave para la vida, por ejemplo, aprovechar la tecnología, completar proyectos de forma individual y en grupo y perseverar ante problemas difíciles.

Cuando los estudiantes utilizan dispositivos, los maestros pueden supervisar su trabajo en tiempo real para asegurarse de que cuentan con el apoyo que necesitan en cada sección de la lección, tanto dentro como fuera del aula. Aquí le presentamos un ejemplo de lo que un maestro ve en su panel de control para ayudarle a supervisar los razonamientos y estimular el aprendizaje de los estudiantes.

A classroom dashboard displays student names and their progress in activities, with checkmarks indicating completed tasks and circles showing ongoing or incomplete tasks.

Los estudiantes también pueden acceder a su trabajo digital en casa. He aquí un artículo sobre cómo navegar por la página de inicio para estudiantes.

¿Cómo es una lección?

En una clase de Amplify Desmos Math, se puede ver (¡y oír!) a los estudiantes al hacer preguntas, debatir respuestas, justificar sus razonamientos, resolver problemas y trabajar juntos o de forma individual.

Two students, one male and one female, are sitting at a desk with a laptop, discussing a project under a "math club" sign, with speech bubble icons above them.

Esto es lo que normalmente incluye una lección de Amplify Desmos Math:

Calentamiento: Un problema breve e interesante para que los estudiantes se sientan atraídos por la lección.
Actividades: Una o dos actividades cortas que desafían las habilidades de los estudiantes para resolver problemas.
Síntesis: Un debate que repasa y reúne los conceptos importantes de la lección.
Demuestra lo que sabes y Reflexión: Preguntas para que los estudiantes demuestren lo que aprendieron en la lección. (Nota: La evaluación “Demuestra lo que sabes” se imparte a criterio del maestro en kindergarten y 1.er grado).
Centros: Estaciones de actividades dirigidas por los estudiantes, las cuales refuerzan los conceptos matemáticos que se aprendieron durante las actividades de la lección a través de formatos interactivos, usualmente similares a juegos. En kindergarten y 1.er grado, el tiempo destinado a los Centros se incorpora a los últimos 15 minutos de cada lección.

Este es el material disponible al término de la lección para apoyar, consolidar y ampliar el aprendizaje de los estudiantes:

Diferenciación: Minilecciones, Centros, actividades complementarias, aprendizaje personalizado y práctica de dominio.
Práctica: Problemas adicionales que el maestro puede asignar como trabajo en clase o tareas para casa.

¿Cómo pueden los cuidadores incentivar el aprendizaje de las matemáticas en casa?

Utilice nuestros Recursos de apoyo de la unidad para cuidadores

Hemos agregado un recurso para cuidadores a cada unidad del programa, el cual proporciona un resumen de los conceptos clave, junto con un problema extraído del conjunto de ejercicios de práctica de la lección para que lo resuelva junto con el estudiante.

En cada uno de los enlaces de los grados académicos a continuación, encontrará un documento con los recursos para cuidadores correspondientes a cada unidad, tanto en inglés como en español.

Repasen juntos los problemas de práctica

El maestro puede asignar problemas de práctica al final de cada lección, como trabajo en clase o como tarea. Si el estudiante ya ha completado los problemas de práctica de la lección, pídale que le explique cómo resolvió cada problema o que le hable sobre las partes que le resultaron más difíciles.

Haga preguntas de seguimiento al estudiante para fomentar el uso del vocabulario matemático al explicar sus razonamientos, por ejemplo, “¿cómo lo sabes?”, “¿cómo puedes mostrar tu razonamiento?” o “¿cómo describirías eso?”.

Si el estudiante no consigue avanzar, hágale preguntas de apoyo, por ejemplo, “¿qué información de aquí conoces?” o “¿cómo podrías representar este problema?”.

Recuerde que es válido bloquearse

Haga hincapié en que bloquearse forma parte del proceso de aprendizaje e incluso es fundamental. Muchos estudiantes (¡al igual que adultos!) temen equivocarse. Sin embargo, las investigaciones demuestran que cometer errores ayuda a que el cerebro se desarrolle mejor. Cuando el estudiante no logre avanzar en un problema, anímelo a probar distintas estrategias, aunque no tenga certeza de si son correctas.

Descubran las matemáticas en la vida cotidiana

Relacionen las matemáticas con las actividades cotidianas del hogar, ya sea al ir de compras, preparar una comida o planificar una visita a una tienda. El estudiante puede ayudarle a calcular cuántas manzanas más que naranjas hay en el carrito; puede mostrarle cómo dividir un sándwich en cuartos o calcular cuánto cambio recibirán de un billete de diez dólares. Anime al estudiante a mencionar de qué forma la familia utiliza las matemáticas en sus tareas diarias.

Lea el Cuento de la unidad con el estudiante

Cada unidad de Amplify Desmos Math K–5 comienza con un cuento leído en voz alta que captura el interés de los estudiantes y contextualiza los conceptos matemáticos de la unidad. Los elementos y personajes del Cuento de la unidad aparecen en las lecciones de toda la unidad.

Como parte del paquete mCLASS^® Español, mCLASS Lectura es un evaluador universal para K a 6.º grado basado en investigaciones recientes sobre alfabetización en español que ayuda a los educadores a acelerar el progreso en la lectura para los estudiantes de habla hispana al ofrecer una paridad total entre las evaluaciones de lectura en inglés y en español. For English version, please click here.

Collage de escenas educativas: la parte superior izquierda muestra el dibujo de un ojo, la parte superior derecha tiene un ícono de voz, las imágenes inferiores muestran a estudiantes aprendiendo con maestros y libros, y logotipos centrales de plataformas digitales.

Abordar las desigualdades que enfrentan en el salón de clase los estudiantes de habla hispana en la alfabetización temprana

Los estudiantes de habla hispana han estado desatendidos y clasificados erróneamente durante décadas. Al combinar mCLASS Lectura y mCLASS con DIBELS^® 8.ª edición, podrá comprender dónde se encuentran sus estudiantes de habla hispana en su trayectoria de alfabetización en inglés y español.
Basado en la ciencia que subyace a cómo los estudiantes aprenden a leer en inglés y español, el sistema mCLASS permite a los maestros conectarse con sus estudiantes de habla hispana cara a cara, uno a uno y en el idioma que les resulte más cómodo. Los maestros pueden identificar en qué punto del desarrollo de sus destrezas de lectura y escritura se encuentran realmente sus estudiantes hispanohablantes o bilingües emergentes y qué instrucción deben priorizar.

Qué dicen los expertos

“Es increíblemente importante que prestemos atención al idioma español junto con el inglés en la práctica de evaluación, para asegurarnos de no subestimar la capacidad de un porcentaje realmente significativo de la población escolar de nuestra nación.”

Access and equity

We believe we have a responsibility to provide literacy instruction that gives every student the same opportunity to succeed and excel.

We know that early reading affects achievement throughout school and beyond—well into college and career. Yet most literacy programs continue to fall short of supporting early literacy success. That’s why we’re so proud that CKLA is helping close the reading gap between students within diverse communities.

Explore how we make learning equitable for all learners with the resources below.

Built on the Science of Reading

Watching students learn to read: magic. Knowing how they get there: science.

As you consider your next core ELA program, it’s critically important to understand what the Science of Reading really means and what it tells us about how to teach more effectively. Unlike other programs, Amplify CKLA was built upon these insights and practices, making it easier for teachers to implement this proven approach.

Universal access

We believe we have a responsibility to provide literacy instruction that gives every student the same opportunity to succeed and excel.

We know that early reading affects achievement throughout school and beyond—well into college and career. Yet most literacy programs continue to fall short of supporting early literacy success. That’s why we’re so proud that CKLA is helping close the reading gap between students within diverse communities.

Science of Reading Resources

Watching students learn to read: magic. Knowing how they get there: science.

As you consider your next core ELA program, it’s critically important to understand what the Science of Reading really means and what it tells us about how to teach more effectively. Unlike other programs, Amplify CKLA was built upon these insights and practices, making it easier for teachers to implement this proven approach.

¡El programa de Amplify Science da la bienvenida a las familias!

Nos complace darle la bienvenida a usted y a su estudiante al programa de Ciencias en el nuevo año escolar y brindar a su estudiante excelentes oportunidades educativas a través de nuestro programa. A continuación incluimos una serie de recursos y guías útiles para ayudar a que su estudiante aproveche al máximo nuestra plataforma a lo largo del año. For English version, please click here.

¿Qué es Amplify Science?

Amplify Science es un currículo escolar estimulante para los grados K–8 que fue diseñado por expertos del Lawrence Hall of Science de UC Berkeley. A medida que usted explore el programa, notará que es diferente de cualquier otro currículo de ciencias que haya visto. Esto se debe a que en los últimos años, la enseñanza de las ciencias ha ido alejándose de las lecciones centradas en datos, tales como aquellas que requieren memorización, y actualmente favorece una modalidad enfocada en el aprendizaje en profundidad con actividades de investigación y resolución de problemas de la vida real. Este cambio en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de ciencias está reflejado en los nuevos estándares nacionales de ciencias (Estándares de Ciencias para la Próxima Generación) y, como se lo imagina, en Amplify Science.

Para comenzar

Si bien las lecciones de Amplify Science fueron diseñadas para su uso en el salón de clases con un grupo de alumnos, hay algunas actividades que los estudiantes pueden hacer en casa con su apoyo. Antes de dar inicio a dichas actividades, recomendamos que lea el artículo Proteja a los niños en internet de la Comisión Federal de Comercio sobre seguridad digital.

Resumen de los recursos

Amplify Science integra las mejores técnicas de enseñanza y aprendizaje de ciencias. Los estudiantes tendrán numerosas oportunidades de usar materiales para el aprendizaje práctico, participar en lecturas, redactar argumentos científicos respaldados por evidencia y explorar aplicaciones digitales.

Mire el siguiente video para ver una presentación breve del enfoque y la estructura del programa Amplify Science.

Una alianza poderosa

Amplify Science es el resultado del trabajo colaborativo de expertos en la enseñanza de ciencias de Amplify y del Lawrence Hall of Science (LHS) de UC Berkeley. El equipo de expertos en ciencias, matemáticas, ingeniería y lectoescritura de LHS desarrolló el contenido del programa, mientras que el equipo de diseñadores e ingenieros de Amplify creó las herramientas y componentes que dan vida a las lecciones.

Vistazo general a los materiales

Amplify Desmos Math Texas promueve el aprendizaje mixto por medio de materiales impresos de apoyo y una experiencia digital única. Todas las lecciones en los grados K a 5 están disponibles en un cuaderno de trabajo de la Edición del estudiante. Muchas de las lecciones incluyen actividades prácticas con materiales manipulables, herramientas que ayudan a que los estudiantes hagan tangibles conceptos abstractos para poder comprenderlos. Su estudiante también trabajará con dispositivos digitales durante un número de lecciones que es apropiado para su edad.

Cuando los estudiantes usan dispositivos, los maestros pueden supervisar su trabajo en tiempo real, asegurándose de que reciban el apoyo exacto que necesitan en cada parte de la lección, dentro y fuera del salón de clase.

Una interfaz digital que muestra los nombres anónimos de los estudiantes y su estado de participación en diversas actividades. La interfaz incluye opciones para realizar resúmenes, capturas de pantalla y vistas individuales de los estudiantes.

Componentes de una lección

A los estudiantes en un aula de Amplify Desmos Math Texas se les ve (¡y se les escucha!) haciendo preguntas, debatiendo respuestas, justificando su razonamiento, enfrentándose a problemas y trabajando juntos o de forma individual.

Una lección típica de Amplify Desmos Math Texas incluye:

Calentamiento: Un problema breve e interesante para que los estudiantes se sientan atraídos a la lección.
Actividades: Una o dos actividades cortas que desafíen las destrezas de los estudiantes para resolver problemas.
Síntesis: Una discusión para revisar y consolidar los conceptos importantes de la lección.
Demuestra lo que sabes (Show What You Know) y Reflexión (Reflection): Preguntas para que los estudiantes demuestren lo que aprendieron en la lección. (Nota: La evaluación de la lección “Demuestra lo que sabes” es opcional en kindergarten y primer grado).
Centros (Centers): Estaciones de actividades dirigidas por los estudiantes que refuerzan los conceptos matemáticos que aprendieron durante las actividades de la lección usando formatos interactivos y, a menudo, lúdicos. En kindergarten y primer grado, el tiempo destinado a los Centros se incorpora en los últimos 15 minutos de cada lección.

Para apoyar, fortalecer y ampliar el aprendizaje de los estudiantes después de la lección, Amplify Desmos Math Texas ofrece opciones de:

Diferenciación: Minilecciones (Mini-Lessons), Centros, Extensiones, Boost Personalized Learning y Fluency Practice (Práctica de la fluidez).
Práctica: Problemas adicionales que el maestro puede asignar para trabajar en clase o como tarea.

Apoye el aprendizaje de las matemáticas en casa.

Usted puede apoyar el aprendizaje de las matemáticas de su estudiante fuera de la escuela de muchas maneras:

El maestro puede asignar problemas de práctica al final de cada lección como trabajo en clase o como tarea. Si su estudiante ya ha completado los problemas de práctica de la lección, pídale que le explique cómo resolvió cada problema o que comente las partes que le resultaron difíciles. Haga preguntas de seguimiento para fomentar el uso del lenguaje matemático mientras explica su razonamiento, por ejemplo: “¿Cómo lo sabes?”, “¿Cómo puedes demostrar tu razonamiento?” o “¿Cómo describirías eso?”. Si su estudiante no consigue avanzar, hágale preguntas de apoyo, por ejemplo: “¿Qué información de aquí conoces?” o “¿Cómo podrías representar este problema?”.

Los juegos de Centro (Center game) se alinean con las matemáticas de la unidad y se pueden jugar con los estudiantes fuera de clase. Es posible que el maestro les explique a los estudiantes cómo jugar un juego de Centro durante o después de una lección. Si no es así, usted puede enseñarle a jugar usando instrucciones fáciles de seguir.

Relacione las matemáticas con actividades cotidianas en casa, ya sea ir de compras, preparar la comida o planear una visita a la tienda. Su estudiante puede ayudarle a calcular cuántas manzanas más hay en el carrito que naranjas, dividir un sándwich en cuatro partes o calcular cuánto cambio recibirá si paga con un billete de diez dólares. Anímelo a señalar las maneras en que ustedes usan las matemáticas en sus quehaceres diarios.

Recuerde al estudiante que bloquearse es una parte necesaria (incluso benéfica) del proceso de aprendizaje. Muchos estudiantes (al igual que personas adultas) temen equivocarse, pero las investigaciones demuestran que cometer errores ayuda a que nuestro cerebro se desarrolle. Cuando su estudiante no consiga avanzar en un problema, anímelo a seguir intentando diferentes estrategias, aunque no esté seguro de si son correctas.

Also all-green: CKLA Skills

How it works

Amplify CKLA teaches both foundational skills and background knowledge in K–2 and combines them in 3–5, as required by the science of reading.

In grades K–2, students complete one full lesson that builds foundational reading skills, as well as one full lesson that builds background knowledge.
In grades 3–5, student complete one integrated lesson that combines skills and knowledge with increasingly complex texts, close reading, and a greater writing emphasis.

Access and equity

We believe we have a responsibility to provide literacy instruction that gives every student the same opportunity to succeed and excel.

We know that early reading affects achievement throughout school and beyond—well into college and career. Yet most literacy programs continue to fall short of supporting early literacy success. That’s why we’re so proud that CKLA is helping close the reading gap between students within diverse communities.

Explore how we make learning equitable for all learners with the resources below.

Built on the Science of Reading

Watching students learn to read: magic. Knowing how they get there: science.

As you consider your next core ELA program, it’s critically important to understand what the Science of Reading really means and what it tells us about how to teach more effectively. Unlike other programs, Amplify CKLA was built upon these insights and practices, making it easier for teachers to implement this proven approach.

¿Qué es Amplify Science?

Amplify Science es un currículo escolar estimulante para los grados K–8 que fue diseñado por expertos del Lawrence Hall of Science de UC Berkeley. A medida que usted explore el programa, notará que es diferente de cualquier otro currículo de ciencias que haya visto. Esto se debe a que en los últimos años, la enseñanza de las ciencias ha ido alejándose de las lecciones centradas en datos, tales como aquellas que requieren memorización, y actualmente favorece una modalidad enfocada en el aprendizaje en profundidad con actividades de investigación y resolución de problemas de la vida real. Este cambio en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de ciencias está reflejado en los nuevos estándares nacionales de ciencias (Estándares de Ciencias para la Próxima Generación) y, como se lo imagina, en Amplify Science.

Componentes de una lección

A los estudiantes en un aula de Amplify Desmos Math se les ve (¡y se les escucha!) haciendo preguntas, debatiendo respuestas, justificando su razonamiento, enfrentándose a problemas y trabajando juntos o de forma individual.

Una lección típica de Amplify Desmos Math incluye:

Calentamiento: Un problema breve e interesante para que los estudiantes se sientan atraídos a la lección.
Actividades: Una o dos actividades cortas que desafíen las destrezas de los estudiantes para resolver problemas.
Síntesis: Una discusión para revisar y consolidar los conceptos importantes de la lección.
Demuestra lo que sabes (Show What You Know) y Reflexión (Reflection): Preguntas para que los estudiantes demuestren lo que aprendieron en la lección. (Nota: La evaluación de la lección “Demuestra lo que sabes” es opcional en kindergarten y primer grado).
Centros (Centers): Estaciones de actividades dirigidas por los estudiantes que refuerzan los conceptos matemáticos que aprendieron durante las actividades de la lección usando formatos interactivos y, a menudo, lúdicos. En kindergarten y primer grado, el tiempo destinado a los Centros se incorpora en los últimos 15 minutos de cada lección.

Para apoyar, fortalecer y ampliar el aprendizaje de los estudiantes después de la lección, Amplify Desmos Math ofrece opciones de:

Diferenciación: Minilecciones (Mini-Lessons), Centros, Extensiones, Boost Personalized Learning y Fluency Practice (Práctica de la fluidez).
Práctica: Problemas adicionales que el maestro puede asignar para trabajar en clase o como tarea.

Apoye el aprendizaje de las matemáticas en casa.

Usted puede apoyar el aprendizaje de las matemáticas de su estudiante fuera de la escuela de muchas maneras:

El maestro puede asignar problemas de práctica al final de cada lección como trabajo en clase o como tarea. Si su estudiante ya ha completado los problemas de práctica de la lección, pídale que le explique cómo resolvió cada problema o que comente las partes que le resultaron difíciles. Haga preguntas de seguimiento para fomentar el uso del lenguaje matemático mientras explica su razonamiento, por ejemplo: “¿Cómo lo sabes?”, “¿Cómo puedes demostrar tu razonamiento?” o “¿Cómo describirías eso?”. Si su estudiante no consigue avanzar, hágale preguntas de apoyo, por ejemplo: “¿Qué información de aquí conoces?” o “¿Cómo podrías representar este problema?”.

Los juegos de Centro (Center game) se alinean con las matemáticas de la unidad y se pueden jugar con los estudiantes fuera de clase. Es posible que el maestro les explique a los estudiantes cómo jugar un juego de Centro durante o después de una lección. Si no es así, usted puede enseñarle a jugar usando instrucciones fáciles de seguir. Regístrese para obtener una cuenta gratuita y explorar los Centros y el contenido adicional para grados K a 5 en nuestras Colecciones destacadas.

Relacione las matemáticas con actividades cotidianas en casa, ya sea ir de compras, preparar la comida o planear una visita a la tienda. Su estudiante puede ayudarle a calcular cuántas manzanas más hay en el carrito que naranjas, dividir un sándwich en cuatro partes o calcular cuánto cambio recibirá si paga con un billete de diez dólares. Anímelo a señalar las maneras en que ustedes usan las matemáticas en sus quehaceres diarios.

Recuerde al estudiante que bloquearse es una parte necesaria (incluso benéfica) del proceso de aprendizaje. Muchos estudiantes (al igual que personas adultas) temen equivocarse, pero las investigaciones demuestran que cometer errores ayuda a que nuestro cerebro se desarrolle. Cuando su estudiante no consiga avanzar en un problema, anímelo a seguir intentando diferentes estrategias, aunque no esté seguro de si son correctas.

What’s included in our phenomena-based science curriculum

Amplify Science is a phenomena-based science curriculum for grades K-8. This program is designed to give students engaging, realistic experiences that mirror how scientists and engineers actually work. To do this, the Lawrence Hall of Science and Amplify created compelling print and digital resources that work seamlessly together to enable students’ investigations and explorations.

Year at a glance

Amplify Science is organized around units where students are introduced to compelling phenomena and real-world problems, develop and strengthen claims by collecting evidence and testing assumptions, and apply their learning in new contexts.

Units at a glance

In each Amplify Science unit, students are asked to inhabit the role of a scientist or engineer in order to investigate a real-world problem. These problems provide relevant, 21st-century contexts through which students investigate different scientific phenomena.

1

Needs of Plants and Animals

Students take on the role of scientists in order to figure out why there have been no monarch caterpillars in the community garden since vegetables were planted. They investigate how plants and animals get what they need to live and grow, and make a new plan for the community garden that provides for the needs of the monarch caterpillars in addition to producing vegetables for humans.

2

Pushes and Pulls

Students take on the role of pinball machine engineers as they investigate the effects of forces on the motion of an object. They conduct tests in their own prototypes (models) of a pinball machine and use what they learn to contribute to the design of a class pinball machine. Over the course of the unit, students construct a foundational understanding of why things move in different ways

3

Sunlight and Weather

The principals of Woodland Elementary and Carver Elementary need student weather scientists to help them explain why Woodland’s playground is warmer than Carver’s at recess. Students gather data from models of the sun and Earth’s surface and observe their own playgrounds to figure out how sunlight causes changes in the temperatures of different surfaces. Students then use models to figure out why Woodland’s playground sometimes floods.

3

Spinning Earth

As sky scientists, students explain why a boy living in a place near them sees different things in the sky than his grandma does when he talks to her on the phone. Students record, organize, and analyze observations of the sun and other sky objects as they look for patterns and make sense of the cycle of daytime and nighttime.

1

Plant and Animal Relationships

In their role as plant scientists, students work to figure out why there are no new chalta trees growing in the Bengal Tiger Reserve, which is part of a broadleaf forest. Students investigate what the chalta tree needs to survive, then collect and analyze qualitative and quantitative data to solve the mystery.

3

Changing Landforms

The director of the Oceanside Recreation Center gets a scare when a nearby cliff collapses overnight. Research reveals that the distance between the Recreation Center’s flagpole and the edge of the cliff have changed over time. Students play the role of geologists and work to figure out why the cliff has changed over time. Based on what they learn about erosion, they advise on whether it is safe to keep the center open even though the cliff is changing.

Balancing Forces

People in Faraday are excited to hear that a new train service will be built for their city, but concerned when they hear that it will be a floating train. Students are challenged to figure out how a floating train works in order to explain it to the citizens of Faraday. They develop models of how the train rises, floats, and then falls back to the track, and then write an explanation of how the train works.

2

Inheritance and Traits

Students play the role of wildlife biologists working in Greystone National Park. They study two wolf packs and are challenged to figure out why an adopted wolf (“Wolf 44”) in one of the packs has certain traits. Students observe variation between and within different species, investigate inherited traits and those that result from the environment, and explain the origin of several of the adopted wolf’s traits.

3

Environments and Survival

In their role as biomimicry engineers, students work to figure out how the traits of grove snails affect their survival in different environments. They then explore how the traits of different organisms make them more likely or less likely to survive, collecting and interpreting data to understand how organisms’ traits affect their survival in different environments. Students then apply their understanding to a new challenge: designing effective solutions for the removal of invasive plants.

4

Weather and Climate

In their role as meteorologists, students gather evidence to decide where to build an orangutan reserve by analyzing patterns in weather data. After choosing the strongest evidence, students use data to make arguments about which of three fictional islands has weather most like that of orangutans’ existing habitats, Borneo and Sumatra. They then discern patterns in the locations of natural hazards in order to figure out which ones the Wildlife Protection Organization must prepare for.

2

Vision and Light

As conservation biologists, students work to figure out why a population of Tokay geckos has decreased since the installation of new highway lights in the rainforest. Students use their understanding of vision, light, and information processing to figure out why an increase in light in the geckos’ habitat is affecting the population.

3

Earth’s Features

Playing the role of geologists, students help the director of Desert Rocks National Park explain how and when a particular fossil formed and how it came to be in its current location. Students figure out what the environment of the park was like in the past and why it has so many visible rock layers.

4

Waves, Energy, and Information

In their role as marine scientists, students work to figure out how mother dolphins communicate with their calves. They write a series of scientific explanations with diagrams to demonstrate their growing understanding of how sound waves travel. Then they apply what they’ve learned about waves, energy, and patterns in communication to figure out how to create patterns that can communicate information over distances.

1

Patterns of Earth and Sky

Playing the role of astronomers, students help a team of archaeologists figure out what the missing piece of a recently discovered artifact might have depicted. As they learn about the sun and other stars and the movement of Earth, students can explain what is shown on the artifact and what might be on the missing piece.

2

Modeling Matter

In their role as food scientists at a fictional company, students are introduced to the idea that all matter is made of particles too small to see, and that each different substance is made of particles (molecules) that are unique. They are then challenged to solve two problems: one requires them to separate a mixture, and the other requires them to make unmixable substances mix. Students are challenged to use the particulate model of matter to explain their work to the CEO of the company.

3

The Earth System

The cities of East Ferris and West Ferris are located on different sides of a mountain on the fictional Ferris Island. East Ferris is having a water shortage while West Ferris is not. As water resource engineers, students learn about the Earth system to help figure out what is causing the water shortage problem and design possible solutions, including freshwater collection systems and proposals for using chemical reactions to treat wastewater.

4

Ecosystem Restoration

As ecologists, students work to figure out why the organisms in a part of a Costa Rican rainforest ecosystem aren’t growing and thriving. As they solve this problem, students learn more generally how organisms in an ecosystem get the matter and energy they need to survive, and then write a series of restoration plans that include arguments about why the rainforest ecosystem is not thriving and recommend actions to restore its health.
