How do I edit Math Units?

Once you've created a Math Unit, you can edit the Math Unit and add an End-of-Unit Assessment, concept lessons, activities, and resources. From the Math Unit page, click Edit Math Unit to make changes to the following sections:

Math Unit Info

• Unit Name: Edit the name of the Math Unit.
• Courses: Enter the name of the course(s) you’d like the Math Unit to belong to. A Math Unit can be in multiple courses.
• Math Unit Info: You can change the Essential Question, Enduring Understanding, and the Description of the Math Unit. You can also view the Foundations Supports and Modifications provided by the Curriculum Team.
• Decide whether you'd like the Math Unit to be supplementary by checking the Supplementary Math Unit checkbox. Supplementary Math Units can be added to Courses toward the end of the year for Math Units that will be completed after school has already ended.
• Decide whether you'd like to allow teachers from other schools and districts to use this Math Unit by checking the Curriculum Sharing checkbox. Learn more about sharing your curriculum.

End-of-Unit Assessment

• Add Math Concepts to your Math Unit where it says, "The end-of-unit assessment will be assessed on:". You can click View Rubric to see the rubrics for the Concepts associated with the Unit. Math Units can also be assessed on the Portfolio Problem Rubric.
• End-of-Unit Assessment: Click on the titles of the End-of-Unit Assessments to edit the details related to each End-of-Unit Assessment. You can also add your own by selecting Add End-of-Unit Assessment. Type the title and a description of the End-of-Unit Assessment you will assess at the end of the Math Unit. You should attach a default template file for the End-of-Unit Assessment. When assigned to students, each student will receive their own editable copy of this template and submit the Math Unit via the Summit Learning Platform. You can attach a blank Notebook or upload an existing document from your Google Drive or OneDrive. Click Save.

Focus Areas

• In order to add Focus Areas to the Math Unit, you must first add the Math Unit to a course (see the Math Unit Info section above).
• If the Math Unit already belongs to a course, you’ll see the Focus Areas that are in that course. Check the boxes next to the Focus Areas that are relevant to the Math Unit.

Teaching Materials

• Pacing: Type the amount of time it'll take to complete the Math Unit.
• Materials: The supply list for the Math Unit. Click Add to upload your own list of supplies from your Google Drive. Keep in mind that if you change this file in your Google Drive later, you'll have to re-upload it for others to see the changes.
  
• Standards: The standards that the Math Unit covers.

When you’re finished editing the Math Unit, click Save and Close to exit.

Keep in mind that the Math Unit will not save automatically while you are editing each section. You can see what time the Math Unit was last saved at the bottom of the page.

Important Note: Once you edit a Math Unit, you will not be able to accept updates to the Math Unit from the Base Curriculum without overriding your edits. In order to both preserve your edits and accept updates, you will have to manually update the Math Unit by editing it to mirror the changes made in the Base Curriculum.
