Unit Title: Exploring Community through Mathematical Connections

Week 1: Entry - Building a Foundation for Community Connections - Introduce the unit theme of community and its significance in both Spanish and Math subjects. - Engage students in a brainstorming activity to identify different aspects of community and how they relate to math concepts. - Discuss the personal goals of being adaptable, a communicator, a collaborator, empathetic, ethical, resilient, respectful, and a thinker, and how they can be applied in the context of community. - Assign a pre-assessment task to gauge students’ prior knowledge and understanding of community and its mathematical connections.

Week 2: Knowledge Harvest - Exploring Mathematical Concepts in Community - Collaborate with the Spanish teacher to identify common mathematical concepts that can be explored within the context of community. - Introduce mathematical concepts such as data analysis, measurement, patterns, and spatial reasoning, and discuss their relevance to community. - Engage students in hands-on activities, group discussions, and real-life examples to explore these mathematical concepts in the context of community. - Encourage students to reflect on how these mathematical concepts can be applied to solve community-related problems and make informed decisions.

Week 3: Reflection - Applying Mathematical Thinking to Community Issues - Collaborate with the Spanish teacher to identify community issues that can be addressed using mathematical thinking. - Guide students in identifying and analyzing these community issues, and brainstorming possible mathematical approaches to solve them. - Facilitate group discussions and encourage students to think critically and creatively to develop mathematical solutions for the identified community issues. - Provide opportunities for students to reflect on their learning, make connections between math and community, and evaluate the effectiveness of their mathematical solutions.

Week 4: Assessment - Showcasing Mathematical Community Solutions - Collaborate with the Spanish teacher to organize a showcase event where students can present their mathematical solutions to the identified community issues. - Guide students in preparing presentations, posters, or multimedia projects that demonstrate their understanding of the mathematical concepts and their application in solving community problems. - Encourage students to reflect on their personal growth in relation to the personal goals of being adaptable, a communicator, a collaborator, empathetic, ethical, resilient, respectful, and a thinker. - Conduct a summative assessment to evaluate students’ understanding of the mathematical concepts explored, their ability to apply them to community issues, and their reflection on personal growth.

Throughout the unit, ensure that both Spanish and Math subjects are integrated seamlessly, with opportunities for cross-curricular learning and collaboration. Encourage students to make connections between the two subjects and apply their knowledge and skills in a meaningful way to benefit their community.

Unit Title: Exploring Community through Mathematical Connections: Fostering Global Citizenship

Week 1: Entry - Building a Foundation for Community Connections - Introduce the unit theme of community and its significance in both Spanish and Math subjects, emphasizing the importance of global citizenship. - Engage students in a collaborative activity where they research and present examples of communities from different parts of the world, highlighting their unique cultural, social, and economic aspects. - Discuss the personal goals of being adaptable, a communicator, a collaborator, empathetic, ethical, resilient, respectful, and a thinker, and how they can be applied not only within their local community but also in a global context. - Assign a pre-assessment task that challenges students to analyze global issues and identify potential mathematical connections.

Week 2: Knowledge Harvest - Exploring Mathematical Concepts in Global Community Issues - Collaborate with the Spanish teacher to identify global community issues that can be addressed using mathematical thinking. - Introduce mathematical concepts such as statistics, probability, financial literacy, and geometric transformations, and discuss their relevance to global community issues. - Engage students in inquiry-based activities, simulations, and case studies to explore these mathematical concepts in the context of global community issues. - Encourage students to think critically and ethically about the impact of these issues on different communities and propose mathematical solutions to address them.

Week 3: Reflection - Applying Mathematical Thinking to Global Community Challenges - Collaborate with the Spanish teacher to identify real-world organizations or initiatives that are addressing global community challenges using mathematical approaches. - Guide students in researching and analyzing these organizations, their mathematical strategies, and the impact they have made. - Facilitate group discussions and encourage students to reflect on the ethical considerations involved in using mathematics to address global community challenges. - Provide opportunities for students to develop their own mathematical strategies and propose innovative solutions to global community challenges, considering the perspectives of different stakeholders.

Week 4: Assessment - Showcasing Mathematical Solutions for Global Community Challenges - Collaborate with the Spanish teacher to organize a symposium where students can present their mathematical solutions to global community challenges. - Guide students in preparing comprehensive presentations, research papers, or multimedia projects that demonstrate their understanding of the mathematical concepts and their application in addressing global community challenges. - Encourage students to reflect on their personal growth as global citizens, considering how their mathematical thinking and collaboration skills have contributed to their understanding of complex global issues. - Conduct a summative assessment that evaluates students’ ability to apply mathematical concepts to global community challenges, their critical thinking skills, and their reflection on personal growth as global citizens.

Throughout the unit, ensure that both Spanish and Math subjects are integrated seamlessly, with opportunities for cross-curricular learning and collaboration. Encourage students to think beyond their local community and develop a global perspective, fostering empathy, cultural understanding, and a sense of responsibility towards addressing global community challenges.
