Teams are a very important part of a CCSSM and CPM classroom Teams are a very important part of a CCSSM and CPM classroom. In the workshops we discuss team roles, strategies and norms when using teams. We also discuss how often to change teams, the use of icebreakers and also team tests.

Web Resources www.cpm.org For teachers, parents and students Take a trip through the web site, if possible. Make sure to show applets, homework help, teacher/parent/student portals…. The blue link is a hyperlink to use, if you have time. Then you won’t need the three slides that follow.

Online Homework Help Students have access to free online help, hints, and solutions to homework problems. Can be accessed online through the website or through the eBooks. All CC edition textbooks now include an ebook so students have access to all support materials, including the ebooks, at home. eBooks require internet access.

Multiple Assessment Resources Assessment Handbook Includes explanations and ideas for conducting and grading: Individual tests Team tests Student presentations Portfolios Includes sample scoring rubrics Chapter Assessment Plans Secure Online Test Generator Three different levels Fully editable tests downloaded to your computer for MS Word or compatible text applications Includes sample individual tests and team tests The assessment sections of the Teacher Edition provide comprehensive resources for various types of formal assessment.

Examples of eTools from CPM’s CORE CONNECTION SERIES https://www.desmos.com/calculator/r1vk7mkewl These are just a few examples. Please expand as needed and according to your audience’s wants/needs. Worth stating how these ARE the practices. For instance, by having problem-based lessons, students are taught that they must persevere when working through problems and they learn to use appropriate tools. Also, with teams, students are constantly convincing their group, i.e. constructing viable arguments and constructing the reasoning of others.

Teacher & Student Interaction Forms of Teacher Interaction Targeted lectures Clarifying instructions Checking for understanding Assessing student results Enhancing student understanding through questioning Providing closure The structure of the lessons offers teachers several ways to interact with students. During the lesson, they circulate among the study teams. When they notice that several or most of the students need assistance with a specific skill or idea, they pull the class together for a targeted lecture*. As students work on problems, teacher check for understanding by asking questions, oftentimes those that are provided in the teacher materials. Teachers test student results, requiring students to form logical arguments to support their reasoning. These observations allow teachers to catch and correct student errors, as well as decide what action is necessary for the lesson closure. Teachers can also question the processes used by the students in their solutions, requiring them to reflect on the best strategies to use for different types of problems. Finally, teachers conduct closure activities for the lessons as well as the chapters as a whole. *Targeted lectures means that a teacher addresses the entire class when the observation of student work indicates a need to do so, in contrast to assuming that everyone needs to hear the same thing and giving a general lecture without reference to student need.
