| 11. Where will you put them? | Everything will be uploaded to the schoology course. |
| 12. How will learners access the resources? | There is a class set of ipads for students to use. Also each student has already been given a Go Math book. Calculators are also located in the classroom. Students also have the choice of checking a calculator out of the library to take home. |
| 13. How will you divide or “chunk” the learning activities into meaningful increments to help learners build or scaffold their learning? | The unit will be divided into 5 cohesive lessons that build off of each other.

| 18. Will learners need training on how to use the course management tool? | Students will not need in-depth training but I will walk through the site with them. |
