Lunch and Learn: A Collaborative Time for North Carolina Teachers Your Presenter Information

Thank You Burroughs Wellcome Your lunch today was provided through a generous donation by Burroughs Wellcome

Goals for Lunch and Learn Network with teachers from across North Carolina to share resources for implementation of Common Core State Standards. Review important NCDPI resources. Review latest assessment information. Participate in grade level activities that support deep understanding of standards.

New Friends Introduce yourself to the teachers in the room by sharing the following information… Name, School, County What is your favorite number? Explain.

Major Work Fourth Grade Major ClustersSupporting/Additional Clusters Operations and Algebraic Thinking  Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems. Number and Operations in Base Ten  Generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers.  Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic. Number and Operations—Fractions  Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering.  Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous understandings of operations on whole numbers.  Understand decimal notation for fractions, and compare decimal fractions. Operations and Algebraic Thinking  Gain familiarity with factors and multiples.  Generate and analyze patterns. Measurement and Data  Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit.  Represent and interpret data.  Geometric measurement: understand concepts of angle and measure angles. Geometry  Draw and identify lines and angles, and classify shapes by properties of their lines and angles.

Grade 3-5 Assessment

Assessment items will be designed, developed, and classified to ensure that the cognitive rigor of the operational test forms align to the cognitive complexity and demands of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Mathematics. These items will require students to not only recall information, but also apply concepts and skills and make decisions.

Grade 3-5 Assessment Grades 3 and 4 mathematics assessments will consist of four-response-option multiple-choice items. The Grades 5–8 mathematics assessments and the Algebra I/Integrated I assessment will consist of four- response-option multiple-choice items and about twenty percent gridded-response items requiring numerical responses. All CCSS mathematics assessments will include both calculator-active and calculator-inactive sections.

Grade 3-5 Assessment One-third to one-half of the Grades 3–8 assessments will be comprised of calculator-inactive items. Grades 3–8 mathematics assessments will be designed for paper/pencil administrations and may have an online administration option. If the EOG is 1/3 to ½ calculator-inactive, what are the implications for preparing students? Discuss at your table.

Fourth Grade Unit Phases of the lessons  Engage  Explore  Explain  Elaborate  Evaluate Formative Summative

Fourth Grade Unit Goals of the Unit… Build and compare fractions in a set. Explain why two fractions are equivalent even though they use different numbers. Name equivalent fractions and apply their knowledge of equivalent fractions. Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators by comparing them to benchmarks of ½ and 1. Explain their reasoning when comparing fractions.

Fourth Grade Unit Goals of the Unit… Construct a number line to show equivalence of fractions with different denominators. Decompose a whole unit into an addition equation where all the fractions have the same denominator, and the sum is one whole. Apply, analyze, and communicate their understanding of fractions when while problem solving. Explain how to decompose a fraction on a number line.

Fourth Grade Unit Add whichever Third Grade Unit you want for the Lunch and Learn participants to do. Remember… the goal is to have participants ready to implement this unit. Use your professional judgment as to which tasks you want the participants to do.
