Next Steps: Teacher Designed Module on UbD and Teaching Mathematics

Go to and work through this online module

Understanding By Design For Math Instruction. This is an online module that Dr. Gail Poitrast and I (Paula Lombardi M.Ed) developed to support our students in the School of Education math content area courses.
Review Math Ubd units from Trinity University and see how students have applied this backward planning process to units of K-12 math instruction.
