….4th Grade Math Briefing…. Brought to you by your 4 th grade Math Leaders: Jen Murray, Jacki Schmitt, Melissa Straughan and Danae Stanfield

Goals for this session  Get an overview of the Common Core State Standards and what that means for us.  Understand the components of the Pacing Guide and Appendix.  Be able to access resources such as Pearsonsuccessnet.com, OAKS blueprints, and the Instruction Portal  Understand the timing and instructions for giving the Common Assessments  Please place questions in the Parking Lot and we will answer them throughout the session.

Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Four Critical Areas in 4 th grade 1.Develop understanding and fluency with multi-digit multiplication, and developing understanding of dividing to find quotients with multi-digit dividends. 2.Develop understanding of fraction equivalents, addition & subtraction of fractions with like denominators, and multiplication of fractions by whole numbers. 3.Understand that geometric figures can be analyzed and classified based on their properties, such as having parallel sides, perpendicular sides, particular angle measures and symmetry.

Critical Areas Questions 1.What are you excited to teach? 2.What is new to 4th grade? 3.Are you concerned about teaching any area? 4.What did you notice that we are no longer focusing on in 4th grade?

Exploring Critical Areas 1.Identify at least one or two important mathematical concepts within this critical area. 2.What do students need to learn prior to these concepts? 3.How do these concepts support learning in later grades?

Content NEW to 4 th Grade in CCSS

Moving to other grades but still on OAKS for 2 more years Recognize area as an attribute of two dimensional shapes. Find area by unit size, use square unit as standard unit. Connect area measurement to multiplication / area model and justify Find area of complex shapes that can be subdivided into rectangles.

Domains and Clusters for 4th grade In addition to the Critical Areas, the Domains and Clusters give an overview of 4th grade. This paper could be posted in your room or shared with parents at back to school night and/or conferences.

Pacing Guide Teaches Investigations in this order: 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Includes ALL content that will be tested on OAKS BEFORE the final round of testing. Is chunked by unit not semester.

Pacing Guide Structure Top Row = Domain, Unit, and Time of year Columns – Time allowed and Investigations Unit as well as other resources – Cluster/Standard – Mathematical Practices – Proficiency by Unit – Vocabulary

Formative Assessment Time Complete the worksheet to see how well you understand the structure of the pacing guide and appendix.

Accessing Resources Investigation additional lessons ONLINE – These additional lessons are critical to teaching the common core state standards (CCSS) – The authors wrote these lessons to target the Common Core State Standards that were not already addressed in Investigations – They are accessed at Pearsonsuccessnet.com – The hard copy is being purchased and will be available from your media specialist.

Pearsonsuccessnet.com Access Code is available from your math leader or adminisrator

District Summative Assessments We have shifted from trimester tests to unit tests which are shorter and more frequent. 2 forms of each test – Only post test is required – Other form may be pre-test or second copy of post test to minimize wandering eyes – Other form is NOT to be used for retakes or formative assessment – Tests are NOT to be sent home

District Summative Assessment Data due dates (not testing windows) – Optimally give test 3-5 days before data due date Data will be entered in Pinnacle – Don’t stress about this now, there will be a work session before the first data due date for people needing help – Default is set so that test grades will not affect student grades (can be changed by teacher so it does affect student grades)
