Ready Florida MAFS Student Instruction Books structure instruction at each grade in units organized by the MAFS Domains (e.g., Measurement and Data). Units open with a short feature that describes what students will learn and the real-world applications of content. Instruction is presented in short, scaffolded lessons that focus on one or more MAFS, and the Mathematical Practice Standards (MPS) are integrated throughout instruction
Lessons include an Introduction that frames new content in terms of a “big idea” question, Modeled and Guided Instruction, Guided Practice, and MAFS Practice problems. Across lesson sections, illustrated characters, or “Study Buddies,” appear in the margins to pose questions and provide tips to guide students’ thinking. Instruction emphasizes how the skills students are learning build across grade levels.
Across grades, the table of contents in both teacher and student editions reference the MAFS, including the Major Emphasis and Supporting and Additional Areas of Emphasis, addressed by each lesson. The table of contents in Teacher Resource Books also references the MPS embedded in instruction.
