Assignments:

> Be sure to make a substantive post to at least 2 other classmates.
 * 1) Now that you've had time exploring some materials and resources aligned to the standards, select a resource you can implement in your classroom within the next week. Your activity can be any of the materials and resources found in the SAS portal. Once you have implemented the activity, write a one page reflection on the implementation. In your reflection, highlight the successes and challenges of the implementation. What worked? What would you change next time you taught this lesson? Submit this assignment to your course facilitator via the dropbox.
 * 2) You've had some time to review resources for your grade level. Post to the discussion board a resource you found helpful. Please make sure this resource is different than the one you submitted for your reflection. Also, be sure to indicate for what grade level and math content this resource is utilized. Highlight why you liked it and how you might use it during instruction.

__Assignment: End of Unit Plan__ After exploring some potential materials & resources, identify some activities that align with your Unit Plan. Complete the section labeled Materials & Resources in the Unit Plan Template. Once completed, save the document, upload it to your ePortfolio and then upload it to your website under the Unit Plan webpage.
