Region V California Mathematics Network Meeting May 13, 2013

Outcomes Continue to develop relationships among team members. Understand strategies for integrating technology into the mathematics classroom Review the Draft Framework Appendix focusing on Acceleration in order to give feedback to the CDE. Discuss Chapter 6 and 7 from Embedded Formative Assessment.

Agenda Warm-Up: Word Link Technology Integration Nearpod VoiceThread Mathematics Framework Feedback Appendix- Embedded Formative Assessment Conference Update

Ice breaker: Word Link First person selects a word (i.e. red) Next person repeats the first word and adds another word that links to the first (i.e. red tomato). Next person repeats the previous word and adds another word that links to the previous word (tomato soup) Repeat

Focus We will support administrators and teachers with the transition to the CCSS- Mathematics in order to increase student achievement. We will increase our understanding of the mathematics research and CCSS resources available to support this transition so we are able to share information with key stakeholders.

Content Standards Grade 2: OA.4 Use addition to find the total number of objects arranged in rectangular arrays with up to 5 rows and up to 5 columns; write an equation to express the total as a sum of equal addends.

Content Standards Grade 3 : OA.1 Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each, or 7 groups of 5 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 × 7.

Draft Mathematics Framework Appendix- Acceleration – The draft Mathematics Framework provides guidance for districts about middle school instruction that includes a description of the courses for grades 6 through 8 and opportunities for accelerating to Algebra 1 or Integrated Mathematics 1 at grade 8, including an appendix document on acceleration options. Do you find the current discussion to be helpful? What suggestions for improvement would you make? What would you like to keep in the draft?

Embedded Formative Assessment Chapter 6: 1.Identify and explain the four factors that influence the success of cooperative learning. 2.What effects do peer tutoring have on student success? 3.What two elements must be present in cooperative learning for it to be successful?

Embedded Formative Assessment Chapter 7: 1.What is the basic idea of self-regulated learning? 2.What role does metacognition and motivation play in self-regulated learning? 3. What is the drawback of intrinsic motivation? 4. How can teachers use dual-processing to integrate motivational and cognitive perspectives on self-regulated learning?

Conference Fall 2013 Algebra Leadership Conference Planning Committee: September 16 or 23

Conference Outcomes Support administrators and teachers with the implementation of CCSS-Mathematics in order to close the achievement gap. Participants will: – Understand reasons why the CCSS mathematics assessments will lead to a change in mathematics instruction. – Gain an understanding of the CCSS High School Pathways and Middle School Acceleration Pathways – Explore ways to increase the level of rigor in the mathematics classroom. – Discuss the role of literacy in the mathematics classroom

Conference Keynote in AM Afternoon break-out by grade span – Possible topics High School Pathways CCSS support for EL/Special Ed Integration of literacies in the mathematics classroom District voice

Schedule June 10 at Mimi’s Café, Gilroy.
