Welcome to Math Night!  Find a seat and fill out a name tag with the following information: Name, track, & grade level  Take some time to visit the chart paper around the room to include your voice: What are your reason/s for attending tonight? What questions are you hoping are answered?

Who am I?  Kristopher Taft – parent of two Spanish track TIS students:  Low-K & 2 nd Grade  5 th grade Beaverton School Teacher since 2004  Bonny Slope Elementary: PYP School: 7 years  Barnes Elementary: Dual Immersion: Math & Science  Taught a variety of math curriculums  Been teaching 5 th Grade Engage NY/ Eureka Math since 2013

Common Core State Standards  Content Standards AND Mathematical Practices  A standards baseline for TIS  Creation story: backwards design  Common Core Website Common Core Website  A shift rather than a complete departure

Shifts in Common Core Mathematics Standards  Focus: Learn more about less  Coherence: Skills Across Grades  Fluency: Speed and Accuracy  Deep Understanding: Know it/Do it!  Application: Real World  Dual Intensity: Think Fast/Solve Problems

Shifts in Common Core Mathematics Standards What are your thoughts about these shifts? What seems different (if anything) from the way you learned math?

Shifts in Common Core Mathematics Standards Focus Teachers significantly narrow and deepen the scope of how time and energy is spent in the math classroom. They do so in order to focus deeply on only the concepts that are prioritized in the standards. Coherence Principals and teachers carefully connect the learning within and across grades so that students can build new understanding onto foundations built in previous years. Fluency Students are expected to have speed and accuracy with simple calculations; teachers structure class time and/or homework time for students to memorize, through repetition, core functions. Deep Understanding Students deeply understand and can operate easily within a math concept before moving on. They learn more than the trick to get the answer right. They learn the math. Application Students are expected to use math and choose the appropriate concept for application even when they are not prompted to do so. Dual Intensity Students are practicing and understanding. There is more than a balance between these two things in the classroom – both are occurring with intensity.

Focus : Learn more about less Students must…Parents Can… Spend more time on fewer concepts Know what the priority work is for your child for their grade level Spend time with your child on priority work Ask your child’s teacher about their progress on priority work

Coherence: Skills Across Grades Students must…Parents Can… Keep building on learning year after year Be aware of what your child struggled with last year and how that will affect learning this year Advocate for your child and ensure that support is given for “gap” skills

Fluency: Speed and Accuracy Students must…Parents Can… Spend time practicing – lots of problems on the same concept, skill, or idea Push children to know/memorize basic math facts Know all the fluencies your child should have and prioritize learning of the ones they don’t

Key Fluencies GradeRequired Fluency KAdd/Subtract within 5 1Add/Subtract within 10 2 Add/Subtract within 20 Add/Subtract within 100 (pencil & paper) 3 Multiply/divide within 100 Add/Subtract within Add/Subtract within 1,000,000 5Multi-digit multiplication

Deep Understanding: Know it/Do it! Students must…Parents Can… UNDERSTAND why the math works, and MAKE the math work TALK about why the math works PROVE that they know why and how the math works Notice whether your child REALLY knows why the answer is what it is Advocate for the TIME your child needs to learn key math Provide TIME for your child to work hard with math at home

Application: Real World Students must…Parents Can… Apply math in real world situations Know which math to use for which situation Ask your child to DO the math that comes up in your daily life

Dual Intensity: Think Fast/Solve Problems Students must…Parents Can… Be able to use core math facts FAST Be able to apply math in the real world Notice which side of this coin your child is successful and where he/she needs more practice Make sure your child is PRATICING the math facts he/she struggles with Help your child think about Math in real life

The BIG SHIFT: Mathematical Practices  Make sense of a problems and persevere in solving them  Reason abstractly and quantitatively  Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others  Model with mathematics  Use appropriate tools strategically  Attend to precision  Look for and make use of structure  Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

The BIG SHIFT: Mathematical Practices Look through the “student friendly” Mathematical Practices Posters:  What are your thoughts?  What seems different from the way you learned math?  What make sense?

Engage NY/Eureka Math Not intended to be prescriptive, but a basis for teachers to hone their craft Created by teachers, college professors, and experts – NOT publishing companies In direct alignment with Math CCSS Standards & Practices Concrete to abstract Coherence AND Spiraling Balance of partner and independent work Fluency practice Application: real world connections through problem solving

Place Value: K – 5 th Grade  K-5 strategies reinforce “Base 10 System” Multiple strategies – a departure from solving JUST one way  Concrete to abstract  Ten Frame  Tape Diagram  Chip Model – all operations  Area Models

Math Homework Advice  Directly connected to learning targets  Robert Marzano’s research: Robert Marzano’s 10 minutes/grade level  No homework is worth tears!
