Soaring throughThe Solar System

• Planet Earth is just a small part of our solar
  system.
• Looking outside of ones self and surroundings
  awakens curiosity and the formulation of new
  ideas.
• Knowing the process of how to solve a
  mathematical problem will give one the ability to
  solve similar problems in different contexts.
• Accumulating knowledge is a never ending process,
  especially with the advancement in technology.

National Board

• In creating this unit, I carefully chose
  assignments and activities that would incorporate
  the state standards with good teaching practices
  under an umbrella of Big Ideas that would
  engage student interest and learning.
• Taking in consideration the diversity of my
  class as well as the different learning styles, I
  diligently collected various lessons and
  collaborated with other educators to create a
  comprehensive unit that integrates math with
  science.
• I have embedded consistent monitoring throughout
  the lesson, so I may be cognoscente of student
  learning and my own teaching practices.
