Making the Transition to a Common Core Classroom Jarrod Huntimer & Mark
Friday, 8:30 am Math Class Video - Meerkat Goals for our session: Shed light on how we have transitioned to Common Core classrooms Provide resources, projects, & ideas you can implement into your classrooms *Coaching clinic mindset
Where we’ve been... Pre-Calculus Algebra 2 Geometry Algebra 1 CalculusPre-Calculus GeometrySenior Math JarrodMark
Where we are now... Geometry Algebra 2
Our transition... ~ SD DOE module trainings *Standards of Mathematical Practice* Dan Meyer's TED Talk
Our transition... Aligned old lessons to new standards Began to identify gaps Look for activities that increase student discovery & inquiry ** Restructured our textbooks & found supplementary materials

Final thoughts on the transition itself You must be willing to change your plans on a whim. Ask “How could this increase learning in my classroom?” 2. Student discussion & collaborative learning should be a focus. Keep the SMP in the forefront of your lesson planning. Certain activities make this easier than others.
Final thoughts on the transition itself... 3.Simply adding technology doesn’t make it “Common Core” 4.It’s challenging to make changes when other teachers are involved. Teacher-to-teacher collaboration is necessary 5.Don’t be afraid to fail. Tweak what doesn’t work & try again… GROWTH MINDSET!
