3-5 Lesson Table
This table connects each Michigan Education Technology Standard (MET) to a corresponding lesson. Grades 3, 4 and 5 each have a separate column. The goal is to cover each MET at least once by the end of 5th grade. A green MET code indicates a link to a separate web page for that grade level. Some web pages have multiple lessons for multiple upper elementary grade levels. A few codes have extra pages (Music and Reading).
