Welcome! Thank you for taking the time to join us in this discussion of Unit 1. At the end of today’s session you should have at least 3 takeaways: the big idea of Unit 1 something to think about…some food for thought how might I approach this unit next fall? what is my conceptual understanding of the material in this unit? a list of resources and support available for CCGPS mathematics
Welcome! For today’s session: read the standards read the unit downloaded and saved the documents from this session Ask questions and share resources/ideas for the common good.
Welcome! Please provide feedback at the end of today’s session. Feedback helps us become better teachers, and it helps you to reflect upon your learning. Feedback helps us as we develop the remaining unit-by-unit webinars. Please visit to provide us with your feedback, ask questions, and share your ideas and resources. After reviewing the remaining units, please contact us with content area focus/format suggestions for future webinars. James Pratt – Brooke Kline – Secondary Mathematics Specialists
Clearing up confusion This webinar focuses on CCGPS content specific to one grade level and one unit within that grade. For information about CCGPS across a single grade span, please access the list of recorded GPB sessions on Georgiastandards.org. For information about the Standards for Mathematical Practice, please access the list of recorded Blackboard sessions from Fall 2011 on GeorgiaStandards.org. CCGPS is taught and assessed from and beyond. PARCC assessments begin in A list of resources will be provided at the end of this webinar.

Navigating a Unit What’s New? Classroom Routines SMP’s (analyzing, estimating, reasoning, describing patterns, defending, discussing, peer feedback, contentious discourse, answering, etc.) Collaborative skills (How collaborative are your collaborative activities?) Productive Struggle Classroom technology, materials…how to use materials in a productive manner. Journaling/Notebook Development of own understanding The regular use of routines is important to the development of students’ number sense, flexibility, fluency, collaborative skills and communication.

Examples & Explanations 3 – (-2)
Examples & Explanations 3 – (-2) + = 0
Examples & Explanations 3 – (-2) + = 0
Examples & Explanations 3 – (-2) + = 0 Remove two negative chips.
Examples & Explanations 3 – (-2) + = 0 Remove two negative chips …but I do not have two negative chips to remove!
Examples & Explanations 3 – (-2) + = 0
Examples & Explanations 3 – (-2) + = 0 You can now remove two negative chips!
Examples & Explanations 3 – (-2) + = 0
Examples & Explanations 3 – (-2) + = 0 Which leaves you with five positive chips!
Examples & Explanations 3 – (-2) + = 0 Which leaves you with five positive chips! 3 – (-2) =
Examples & Explanations -2 x (-4)
Examples & Explanations -2 x (-4) Facing east or to the right = positive Facing west or to the left = negative Walking forward = positive = Walking backward = negative =
Examples & Explanations -2 x (-4) Facing east or to the right = positive Facing west or to the left = negative Walking forward = positive = Walking backward = negative = Facing to the left (because of -2), I step backwards 4 units (because of -4) twice. 048
Examples & Explanations -2 x (-4) Facing east or to the right = positive Facing west or to the left = negative Walking forward = positive = Walking backward = negative = This leaves me at 8! -2 x (-4) = 8 084
Examples & Explanations Multiplication using a Number Line Model
Examples & Explanations Making sense of division… Partitive Division – If the number of groups is known and you are trying to find the number in each group. (learner.org) Ex: You have six dollars and you want to divide it equally among 3 groups. Quotative Division – If the number in each group is known and you are trying to find the number of groups. (learner.org) Ex: You have six dollars and you want to give 3 dollars to each group. 6 ÷ 3 (Partitive) = = 2 (in each of the 3 groups) 6 ÷ 3 (Quotative) = = 2 (groups of 3)
Examples & Explanations Making sense of division… -6 ÷ 3 (Partitive)
Examples & Explanations Making sense of division… -6 ÷ 3 (Partitive) = = -2 (in each of the 3 groups)
Examples & Explanations Making sense of division… -6 ÷ 3 (Partitive) = = -2 (in each of the 3 groups) -6 ÷ -3 (Quotative)
Examples & Explanations Making sense of division… -6 ÷ 3 (Partitive) = = -2 (in each of the 3 groups) -6 ÷ -3 (Quotative) = = 2 (groups of -3’s)
Examples & Explanations Making sense of division… -6 ÷ 3 (Partitive) = = -2 (in each of the 3 groups) -6 ÷ -3 (Quotative) = = 2 (groups of -3’s) 6 ÷ -3
Examples & Explanations Making sense of division… -6 ÷ 3 (Partitive) = = -2 (in each of the 3 groups) -6 ÷ -3 (Quotative) = = 2 (groups of -3’s) 6 ÷ -3 I’m stuck because I can’t make -3 groups (partitive) nor can I determine how many -3’s are in 6 (quotative)!
Examples & Explanations Making sense of division… 6 ÷ -3 How many sets of -3 will make 6?
Examples & Explanations Making sense of division… 6 ÷ -3 How many sets of -3 will make 6? Remove one set of -3.
Examples & Explanations Making sense of division… 6 ÷ -3 How many sets of -3 will make 6? Remove a second set of -3.
Examples & Explanations Making sense of division… 6 ÷ -3 How many sets of -3 will make 6? 2 sets of -3 were removed to make 6 or -2 sets (removing 2 sets) of -3 were used to make 6. 6 ÷ -3 = -2

Assessment How could it look? Examples of how balanced assessments can be assembled. The target audience for these example assessments are: 1.teachers who have already started to work on their student’s mathematical practice skills 2.designers of future CCSSM-aligned assessments
Assessment How could it look?
