Teaching Multigrade Classes

Most classes within the FNSB contain multiple grades - this makes for unique challenges when it comes to direct instruction in numeracy. Though Mathology comes with multi-grade plans, educators will need to carefully consider the order of units taught, what lessons and activities can be done as a whole class, and what lessons need to be differentiated based on skill and grade level. Use the graphic below to help edit your year plan.

  • Use the Topics by Grade Level Chart for your grades. Some grade mixes will not require any changing of order, while others might. Then use the doc versions of the year plans from above, and combine them to create a multi-grade year plan.

  • Mathology contains mixed grade year plans (though for only 2 grades at a time). The plans “by TOPIC” most closely align with the order below.

  • Even single grade classes contain learners who are at different points in their numeracy progression. Mathology often recommends lessons and activities from previous grades that can help prepare learners for new content.
