Looking ahead… the series Prerequisite… Overview of the CCSS and Mathematical Practices Phase 1… Decoding the language Phase 2… Deepening your understanding Phase 3… Making the connection

Step 1… Objectives Review the structure and shifts of the CCSS math Understand the language of the grade specific CCSS domain at a deeper level Share a process that can be replicated to review any CCSS domain

Major Shifts within Mathematics CCSS Focus Fewer big ideas --- learn more Learning of concepts is emphasized Coherence Articulated progressions of topics and performances that are developmental and connected to other progressions Application Being able to apply concepts and skills to new situations That is, time is spent on a topic and on learning it well. This counters the “mile wide, inch deep” criticism leveled at most current U.S. standards. Conceptual understanding and procedural skills stressed equally

Standards for Mathematical Practices Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Model with mathematics Use appropriate tools strategically. Attend to precision. Look for and make use of structure. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Transitioning Year 1 K-2 3-5 6-8 High School Revised document Year 1   K-2 3-5 6-8 High School Year 1 2011-2012 School districts that can, should consider adopting the CCSS for K-2 in total. K – Counting and Cardinality (CC); Operations and Algebraic Thinking (OA) 1 – Operations and Algebraic Thinking (OA); Number and Operations in Base Ten (NBT) 2 – Operations and Algebraic Thinking (OA); Number and Operations in Base Ten (NBT) and remaining 2008 WA Standards 3 – Number and Operations – Fractions (NF) 4 – Number and Operations – Fractions (NF) 5 – Number and Operations – Fractions (NF) 6 – Ratio and Proportion Relationships (RP) 7 – Ratio and Proportion Relationships (RP) 8 – Expressions and Equations (EE) Teach all of the 2008 WA Mathematics Standards for each course and prepare for Algebra 1- Unit 2: Linear and Exponential Relationships Geometry- Unit 1: Congruence, Proof and Constructions and Unit 4: Connecting Algebra and Geometry through Coordinates Revised document

Structure of the CCSS This is an example from grade 3 from the CCSSM document. Let’s look a bit more closely at two different levels. For grades K-8 there is a number in front of the domain that denotes the grade level.

Standards for Mathematical Practices Graphic Not individually addressed….culture of the classroom

Step 1… Decoding the language

Let’s do some math… Individually work the problem… Illustrative math project… http://illustrativemathematics.org/standards/k8

Whole group discussion… Solving the task How did you solve it? Share with partners Whole group discussion…

Mathematical Practices What math practice(s) did you use? Share with partners Whole group discussion…

CCSS Grade Overview Grade level overview… Read Share with partners Where does the task that you just solved fit? What else do you notice? Share with partners

Focusing on the Domain Individual… Read and Highlight As you read, what language might someone (parent or colleague) have trouble understanding? Highlight those areas Whole group… Discuss areas of concern

Creating Personal Connections On the provided sheet… Personal description or definition Example or non-example Whole group… Working example Partner job-alike groups… Continue process with grade level domain

Wrap up… Continuing the work? Step 2… Step 3… Transition domains for each grade level (transition documents) Step 2… Taking the content deeper Step 3… Making the connections
