Math Foundational Services SHIFT 1: Focus October 9, 2014 Cindy Dollman & Joe Delinski The PROE Center

Group Norms Be present. Communicate with colleagues when appropriate. Respect time frames. Focus on the learning at hand. Turn all cell phones to vibrate.

Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS/RtI) Statewide System of Support Priority Focus Foundational Focus Areas: -Continuous Improvement Process (Rising Star) -Common Core ELA -Common Core Math -Teacher Evaluation -Balanced Assessment

NEEDS ASSESSMENTS

Grade- level High school – Traditional – Integrated Standards for Mathematical Practice

CCSSM Vocabulary 10 Organizatio n Practice Standards Content Standards DomainClusterStandards Domain: Groups of related Standards and Clusters Cluster: groups of related standards under a bolded heading Standards: specific information students should know

Structure of the Standards Domains are large groups of related standards. Domains change from grade to grade to reflect the changing focus of each grade. Standards from different domains may sometimes be closely related. Clusters are groups of related standards. Each domain has 1 – 4 clusters. Standards from different clusters may sometimes be closely related. Standards define what students should understand and be able to do. Domain Cluster Standard 11

As teachers, our plates are very full:  Select 1 grade level  On your plate, list specific math content, skills, and concepts you teach across the course of a year

The PARCC assessments will focus strongly where the Standards focus “Teach less, learn more” 70% or more on major work in 3-8 Focus allows for a variety of problem types to get at concept in multiple ways Students will have more time to master concepts at a deeper level

15 Grade Focus Areas in Support of Rich Instruction and Expectations of Fluency and Conceptual Understanding K–2 Addition and subtraction - concepts, skills, and problem solving and place value 3–5 Multiplication and division of whole numbers and fractions – concepts, skills, and problem solving 6 Ratios and proportional reasoning; early expressions and equations 7 Ratios and proportional reasoning; arithmetic of rational numbers 8 Linear algebra Key Areas of Focus in Mathematics

LET’S EXPLORE Take time to look over the Content Emphasis for your grade level, in addition to your grade cluster.

Maybe it’s time to take something off our plates:  Review your plate  Cross out content, skills, concepts that are not a part of your grade level (major, supporting, additional)  Add content, skills, concepts that should be included in your grade level

HOW TO TEACH STANDARDS FOR MATHEMATICAL PRACTICE

1.Make Sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2.Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3.Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4.Model with mathematics. 5.Use appropriate tools strategically. 6.Attend to precision. 7.Look for and make use of structure. 8.Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

STANDARDS FOR MATHEMATICAL PRACTICE Each team will be assigned a mathematical practice standard. Read and highlight 12 keywords. (Looks like) Determine an action the teacher could take to include the standard for mathematical practice. (Feels like) Create a question that encourages use of the standard for mathematical practice (Sounds like)

Training Considerations Grade level groupings Appropriate tasks Timing of Trainings Educator experience in the new standards (Content and Practice)

Planning for Training Take some time to plan the structure of the training for your area. – How will participants be grouped? (Grade bands? Courses?) – How will time frames be organized?

Generating Questions How will I facilitate conversations around the scope and sequences? How will I facilitate conversations around the Unit Maps? How will I facilitate conversations around Assessment and Lesson resources?
