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 share your feedback. 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.

What’s the big idea? Enduring Understandings Essential Questions Key Standards Overview

What’s the big idea? Developing conceptual understanding of division of fractions by fractions. Developing deep understanding and fluency with operations of fractions, multi-digit decimals and multi-digit numbers.

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.
