Content Focus for High School Math
Northwest Mathematics Conference Portland, OR October 12, 2017 Mark Freed, Oregon Department of Education Dev Sinha, University of Oregon Tom Thompson, Oregon Department of Education
2
What we are going to do 2020 Vision Focus HS Math Content
Multiple lenses Focus & Supporting Content Relationship to CCSS & Assessments Next Steps
3
Transformed math systems 2020 Oregon Math Standards Adoption
4
Participatory Leadership Personal to Systemic
2014 beginning of a concept 2016 Clarify the idea (small group from ODE including applied math specialist, schools, cc, and university. 2017 Invite broader conversation (math content panel, willing districts, higher education, other agency teams) 2018 Pilot with willing districts and learn from those pilots 2020 Act on what we have learned during math adoption
5
High School Pathways to date
Multiple Pathways Advisory Panel Joint Boards (ODE & Higher Ed) NCTM draft document STEM initiatives STEM hubs & STEM innovation grants
6
Introduction to Lenses
Who is at the table when content standards are written? Who should be at the table that may have been left out in the past?
7
Lens to HS Math Who is at the Table?
Mathematicians HS Math Math Educators Business & Industry Focus Content Students Parents Supporting Content
8
Content Example: Polynomial Arithmetic
9
Lens #1 Knowledge in the room
10
Finding Focus in High School
What math content is critical to know for all students? What math skills and practices should all students be able to do? What content should be moved to the “Focus”?
11
Lens #2 Postsecondary Lens
12
Movement in Oregon Postsecondary Math
Revision of MA 111 (College Algebra) at UO to be more contextual; no polynomial arithmetic. Revision of MA 111 at OSU to have projects. Construction geometry at Rogue CC. Completely reformed program at Mt. Hood CC. UO potentially moving from MA 095 to credit-bearing mathematical modeling course.
13
Movement in Oregon Postsecondary Math
Results of UO modeling pilot: 28/30 passed. 22/25 passed subsequent MA 111. Downstream:
14
Post-Secondary Lens Questions posed Additional Voices
What content and habits of mind are needed in students' background in order for them to succeed in entry-level math on your campus? What pedagogical developments have been made within the past decade on your campus to improve student experiences within math courses? Additional Voices Mike Price – University of Oregon Question 2 Doug Nelson – Central Oregon CC Question 1 & Question 2
15
Finding Focus in High School
What math content is critical to know for all students? What math skills and practices should all students be able to do? What content should be moved to the “Focus”? What content should be moved back to “Supporting”? What moved and why?
16
Lens #3 Engagement Lens
17
Lesson Sharing Bruce Weinberg – Bethel SD Math in Real Life Lesson

Lens #4 Community Lens
21
College, Career, & Citizenship
Media analysis What math would be helpful to navigate social media and to be an engaged citizen? Business & Career Analysis What math is needed to succeed in a variety of workplaces?
22
Finding Focus in High School
What math content is critical to know for all students? What math skills and practices should all students be able to do? What content should be moved to the “Focus”? What content should be moved back to “Supporting”?
23
What do we see through all the lenses
What do we see through all the lenses? How does change your thinking about HS Math Focus?
24
Common Core & Assessment and other lenses
Making Connections Common Core & Assessment and other lenses
25
CCSS & Assessment What content in the CCSS HS standards do you see connections to? CCSS HS prioritization What content in the HS Assessments do you see connections to? HS Frameworks for SBAC, SAT, & ACT
