Statement of Inquiry Equivalences allow different forms of representation, that way, we can find relationships that
explain human capability and development.
Use appropriate strategies for organizing complex information: This ATL will be explicitly taught
while explaining students how to avoid mistakes due to lack of organization, neatness and
structure. The teacher will give students strategies for them to use while solving Math
challenges. It will be graded based on the achievement level that the student reaches by the
end of the unit. In order for a student to use appropriate strategies for organizing complex
information, students must know several ways of organizing information, and know the
information that they have to organize.
Select and use technology effectively and productively. The teacher will help students
understand the importance of using properly and take advantage of all the technological
resources at their disposal, while overviewing the correct use of them. Students will practice
strategies to overcome distractions, specially when they feel challenged by the subject, with
help from the teacher. The teacher will also provide and show the students the importance of
being resilient, and show improvement after adversity.
