5. Warm up game
Dice Target – roll 3 dice and make a math equation using any math operations to get as close to 50 as possible. Share with someone near you. Who got closer to 50?
Count 12/ You’re out
1. Put everyone in groups of between 2 and 10 kids The first person says either "1", "2" or "3" The next person continues on and can say an additional one, two or
three numbers Example: if the first person says, "1, 2", the second person can say either "3" or "3,4" or "3,4,5" Continue around the group until one person is forced to say "12". That person is now out Start again from 2.

6. I’m not good at math. I’m not good at reading. Why do people say this?
How can we keep our students from saying this?

Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study
Since 1995, six international comparative studies have been administered to 4th and 8th graders. The last data collection occurred and ended in June of The final results of the study were released in December of 2016.
Minnesota was one of 9 selected states to be included in the study in (Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana, Florida, Massachusetts, and North Carolina were the others.)

28. Achievement Gap - Minnesota
FACTS ABOUT RACIAL GAP
Education Watch: Minnesota (Source: Education Trust, Inc., )
Minnesota’s white students score extremely high in math and fairly high in reading, while
black students’ scores were 43rd in the nation. Minnesota has the fourth largest gap
between whites and African Americans. Only Wisconsin, New Mexico and District of
Columbia have a higher gap.
< NAEP 4th grade reading: The average white score was 224, putting Minnesota in
top 15 in nation. The average African American score was 191. Only seven other
states had worse scores for this group.
< NAEP 8th grade math: The average white score was 293, putting Minnesota
second in the nation to Connecticut. The average Latino score was 260, putting
Minnesota 15th in the nation.
< From , the gap in Minnesota between White and African American
students on the NAEP 4th grade reading assessment widened by 3 points.

30. Who are our students in MN?
As of

31. http://www. education. state. mn
2013 math data in grades 3-8 show that White students are performing at higher levels than students of color in the state.

32. Similarly, students in poverty, English learners, and special education students are demonstrating lower math proficiency rates, as compared to more affluent, native English speakers.
