Elementary Math: Principals Professional Development Fall 2011

Agenda * Introductions to Common Core State Standards * Digging into Mathematical Practices * Content Knowledge and Sheltered Instruction: Fraction and Decimal Models * Problem Solving Math Scoring Guide * Exit Card

Learning Targets  I can describe to parents and colleagues the North Clackamas Common Core Standard implementation plan for math.  I can implement two of the eight Common Core Mathematical Practices into my classroom instruction.  I can teach grade level content through a variety of models that progress from concrete to abstract. (Build-Sketch-Record)  I understand that there is a new ODE Math Scoring Guide and have explored its dimensions.  I can describe characteristics of Sheltered Instruction by talking to my peers about the techniques.

Goals of Common Core State Standards-Math  Students across the country will have standards that are of equal rigor.  Colleges will have less remediation in math for incoming students.  US students will become more competitive with A+ countries.  Allows for development of common assessments and teaching materials.

As of Today 45 States Have Adopted CCSS

CCSS-M Mathematical Practices 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.

The Standards for Mathematical Practice Take a moment to examine the first three words of each of the 8 mathematical practices… what do you notice? Mathematically Proficient Students…

Mathematical Practice:1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Use the “Look For” Tool to record your thinking about what mathematically proficient students are able to do when they are participating in this practice. Record what teachers actions are in engaging students in this practice.

Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Mathematical Practice: 3 Use the “Look For” Tool to record your thinking about what mathematically proficient students are able to do when they are participating in this practice. Record what teachers actions are in engaging students in this practice.
