CHAPTER 1 OF TEACHING MATHEMATICS THROUGH PROBLEM SOLVING, GRADES 6-12, NCCTM PUBLICATION Developing Understanding Through Problem Solving Spotlight on Math Discourse

Let’s Do Some Math!!

Why is Understanding Mathematics So Important? Understanding a topic ensures that one can use it flexibly to handle new situations Understanding is fun!  Offers an unparalleled sense of esteem and control  NOT understanding is frustrating and defeating – being asked to perform but not having any idea what is happening and why the rules one has memorized actually work

What Does Problem Solving Have to Do with Understanding? Understanding is supported best through a delicate balance among: Engaging students in solving challenging problems Examining increasingly better solution methods Providing information for students at just the right times

How Can Classrooms Be Designed to Promote Understanding? Signposts: Allow math to be problematic for students Focus on methods Tell the right things at the right times

State Board Policy GCS-M Credit by Demonstrated Mastery 13.1 Credit by Demonstrated Mastery is the process by which LEAs shall, based upon a body-of-evidence, award a student credit in a particular course without requiring the student to complete classroom instruction for a certain amount of seat time “Mastery” is defined as a student’s command of course material at a level that demonstrates a deep understanding of the content standards and application of knowledge Beginning with the school year, Credit by Demonstrated Mastery shall be available for all NC students in grades Students shall demonstrate mastery through a multi-phase assessment, consisting of (1) a standard examination, which shall be the EOC/EOG where applicable, or a final exam developed locally and (2) an artifact which requires the student to apply knowledge and skills relevant to the content standards. LEAs may require additional requirements, such as performance tasks. This multi-phase assessment process builds a body-of-evidence that allows a committee to determine if the student has a deep understanding of the standards for the course or subject area, as defined by the North Carolina Standard Course of Study, thereby earning credit for the course without experiencing it in the school setting.

Credit by Demonstrated Mastery 13.5 DPI shall develop implementation guidelines for this policy. These guidelines shall provide guidance for LEAs regarding scoring of assessments as well as local implementation. The guidelines shall establish minimum scores for the standard examination and artifact creation. Students must attain minimum scores to earn Credit by Demonstrated Mastery The following courses are excluded from Credit by Demonstrated Mastery: - Career and Technical Education (CTE) work-based learning courses (co-op, internship, apprenticeship) - CTE courses that have a clinical setting as a requirement of the course, such as ProStart, Early Childhood Education I/II and Nursing Fundamentals - CTE Advanced Studies courses - English Language Learner (ELL) courses - Healthful Living required courses
