1. Setting the Stage

Content Objective: Math content objectives are on
the GSD Mathematics Curriculum Maps. Each
lesson in Go Math! has a 'Lesson Objective and
'Essential Question.
Language Objective: Teachers need to generate a
language objective based on the needs of current
students and the activities in the lesson. The
objective should include reading, writing, speaking,
and listening.
