Many elementary and middle school mathematics teachers use a particular approach when planning mathematics units. We tend to match a mathematics concept that we want to teach with an activity or material that will convey the needed idea. When we teach fractions. we think of planning a pizza party or partitioning a geoboard. When we teach place value, we think of base-ten blocks or trading games. As we increase our teaching and planning repertoires over the year by adding more and more activities and materials, we make better matches among what we think of as basic curriculum elements: the students' needs. the mathematics topic, and choices of activities and materials. These elements, mixed differently year to year, facilitate many good mathematic lessons. But they may also give us a limited view of curriculum possibilities.
