Exploring the BeCALM Curriculum

A Teacher’s Guide and a Student Packet for each of the seven BeCALM topics is available in both Microsoft Word and PDF format. Some sets contain additional materials. The materials for each includes math routines, conceptual activities, practice activities, language support, application tasks, exit tickets, and evaluation sheets.

Each Student Packet contains:

  • warm up routines
  • conceptual activities and practice sheets
  • application activity (financial literacy, civics, etc.)
  • exit ticket/formative assessment
  • optional language support

Each Teacher’s Guide contains:

  • standards addressed
  • facilitation instructions
  • math background
  • vocabulary and things to watch for
  • math routines
  • Reproducibles including student self-evaluations, quizzes, and other useful materials

There are 3–5 units per Student Packet. To keep things accessible, Student Packet text is kept to a minimum so that it can be used with students at an ABE reading level and with English learners.
