Texas Response to Curriculum Focal Points TASA/TASB 9/25/10 Texas Response to Curriculum Focal Points Directions for Presenter: Italics Information for Presenter to Convey: Bold Give participants some time to look through their whole grade level in the TXRCFP publication. Provide explanations for Continuing Experiences and Introductory Experiences using the following statement: “All TEKS statements that did not fit into one of the three or four categories in a grade level were skills that either introduced material that would become a focus in a later grade or continued or extended material from a previous grade.” Source: Texas Response to Curriculum Focal Points for Kindergarten through Grade 8 Mathematics http://www.txar.org/focalpoints.html

Texas Response to Curriculum Focal Points K-8 Aligns student expectations to key topics (focal points) Emphasizes integration of concepts across the strands/skills that naturally leads to mathematical connections and higher-level thinking Identifies critical areas that connect and integrate mathematical proficiency and understanding Deep and complex level of understanding What are the major differences between the SEs organized by CFPs and those organized by strands? The SEs in the CFPs are organized around big ideas that emphasize integration of concepts across the strands/skills and lead naturally to mathematical connections and higher-level thinking. The strands are organized around single topics that tend to lead to teaching isolated topics that are then checked off. The CFPs highlight connections among the SEs.  For example, the word “proportionality” appears on all of the magnifying glass cards with the exception of 8.1A. A CFP encourages the integration of both application and computation. A CFP’s grouping of student expectations provides the opportunity for more in-depth study of a concept.   Why can a student expectation be included in more than one CFP? Mathematics is not a set of skills to be taught in isolation. But rather, mathematics is like fabric with skills being the threads woven together to create the completed cloth. Building connections among concepts is the means to creating strength and durability in students’ understanding of mathematics. How might using the SEs organized by CFPs impact instruction? By integrating concepts: Teaching the concept of (8.6A) generating similar figures using dilations should also use rational numbers in various forms (8.1B).  Include (8.6A) connections between similar figures and (8.10A) effect on perimeter and area when dimensions are changed (8.10A The CFPs develop a mathematical idea or theme, which allows teachers to prioritize and determine where they could spend the most classroom instruction time. The CFPs provide for more integration of problem-solving as a vehicle for strengthening computational skills. All TEKS statements that did not fit into one of the three or four categories in a grade level were skills that either introduced material that would become a focus in a later grade or continued or extended material from a previous grade.”

National Mathematics Advisory Panel Final Report 2008

National Mathematics Advisory Panel (NMAP) Recommendations 5/3/2019 National Mathematics Advisory Panel (NMAP) Recommendations Three Critical Foundations of Algebra Fluency with whole numbers Fluency with fractions Particular aspects of geometry and measurement In our MSTAR initiative, we have focused on those focal points that directly impact students’ readiness for success in algebra. These critical foundations include Fluency with whole numbers Fluency with fractions Particular aspects of geometry and measurement

If the blue rectangle represents 100% of the students who are enrolled in Algebra II, (first click) the light blue rectangle represents the minimum amount of students who should achieve success during original, or Tier I, instruction (85%). (Second click) The light green rectangle represents the amount of students experiencing success based on current Algebra I EOC data (which is skewed based on who is taking the assessment.) (Third click) The arrows represents “the target” of this professional development.

OnTRACK FOR COLLEGE READINESS PROJECT OVERVIEW

OnTRACK overview Online learning tools (lessons) for students in the areas of math, science, ELA and social studies developed to increase student preparedness and performance on STAAR high school assessments leading to a higher degree of College and Career Readiness. All learning tools are being developed within TEA’s Project Share platform. It’s free-use as much or as little as you need.

Project Goals Help students exceed the minimum score required on each high school STAAR assessment in order to meet graduation requirements. Prepare all students to meet the college-readiness component of the Algebra II STAAR assessment.

OnTRACK Courses Should be used as a supplemental resource. May be used as intervention or acceleration materials with students.
