4. What’s New in Kindergarten Unit 1?
Geometry?!?!?
Sophisticated Shapes
GRAHAM: Geometry is now the first unit we will teach in Kindergarten.
Why? Discuss teacher feedback and why it why it changed.
Warm up question: what 2-dimensional shape is missing from this slide that Common Core State Standards suggest we expose students to in Kindergarten?
Wait 10 seconds….Rectangle you say? Sorry they’re all here. In fact there are 5 rectangles on this page…in the “I”. Shapes are all around us

GRAHAM: Introduce the team who did the work this summer.
Briefly describe what you did as a group and be sure to mention the power of coming together and collabing This can’t be understated!!!!!
Whitney:
-Looked at the comments and teacher feedback from all over the United States about the frameworks in general and how to make them better.
-We understood that the frameworks were a living document that is always changing and improving.
-We worked collaboratively to enhance the framework activities to be more teacher and student friendly
-Please continue to provide feedback to the wiki so we can continue to make improvements for both the teachers and students.

7. The units might look the same… but they’re not!
Whitney- Here are some highlights that we will be addressing during this webinar.
●Overall Revisions ●Unit 1 Revisions
●Areas of Concern ●Resources

8. The standards have been added
Task Table
The standards have been added
Whitney:
-The task table has changed a bit.
-We have added the standards that are being addressed in each of the framework activities.
-looking for specific tasks for a specific standard
-The framework activities don’t have to be in a specific order based off of student needs.
-Standards are the focus when teaching not the task

9. Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMP)
The unit overview provides a brief list of the SMPs and a few examples of learning experiences within the unit that support the development of these mathematical practices.
Sarah Trawick:
Really emphasize the focus that needs to be placed on the SMPs.
The SMPs address how the content is taught

10. It’s all about the SMPs!!!
At the beginning of every task, there is a list of only the SMP’s that are covered in that task.
The SMP’s that are developed within each part of the task are listed.
Sarah Trawick:
Really allows for us to focus on how we are teaching

11. FALs: Formative Assessment Lessons
Kari Frega:
What’s a FAL?
Lessons that support teachers in formative assessment which both reveal and develop students’ understanding of key mathematical ideas and applications. These lessons enable teachers and students to monitor in more detail their progress towards the targets of the standards.

12. Geometry FAL Flat Shapes or Solid Shapes
Shapes with 3, 4, and No sides
Kari
Describe the task and how it works

13. Assess for student learning and identify student misconceptions
Why use FALs?
Assess for student learning and identify student misconceptions
Sarah Trawick:

14. Number Talks in Kindergarten
5 and 10 frames
Double 10 frames
Rekenreks
Dots cards
Amanda Cavin:
What Number Talks or Number Corner could look like
Here the students are discussing the number 7…see all the things they recognized. Using 10 frames allows them to begin building and seeing the part-whole relationship within numbers
Importance of adding names to students’ sharing ideas for a sense of ownership

15. Tech out the links!!!
Cavin

16. Integrating technology beyond the frameworks
Cavin
Amamda and Whitney…Please take a picture of your classroom and to me at
Taking Amanda’s idea here… Whitney’s class will look at Amanda’s class photo and vice versa. Students will count the number of shapes they find in the other teacher’s class photo and compare which class has more of each shape and make a picture graph while doing so.
What do you see?

17. Misconceptions Counting with friends has moved but…
SMP #6-communicate precisely
Rhombus, a ball is not a circle, rectangular prisms
Graham
Counting with friends has moved but…

18. We’re just counting with friends AND shapes now!!!
Graham
So, dive into Unit 1 knowing where you're going.

19. All done with us and now we’ll throw you back to Turtle!

Unit use
Resources

27. Formative Assessment Lessons (FALs)
Formative Assessment Lessons (“Classroom Challenges”)
Developed by the Shell Center and/or KY math collaborative
Embedded in the FY14 Units
Usually 2/3 into a unit
Intended to guide instructional decisions for the rest of the unit
Not intended to be graded, instead used for feedback
Plan is to have at least one per unit
FAL webinar coming!
Follow the Task section, teachers will find detailed information in the FAL section with examples and links to videos of teachers using FALs

28. Assessment
July 22, 2013 – State School Superintendent Dr. John Barge and Gov. Nathan Deal announced today that Georgia is withdrawing from the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) test development consortium.
Instead, the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) will work with educators across the state to create standardized tests aligned to Georgia’s current academic standards in mathematics and English language arts for elementary, middle and high school students. Additionally, Georgia will seek opportunities to collaborate with other states.
The press release in its entirety can be found at:

29. Assessment
 As GaDOE begins to build new assessments, please note that our Georgia assessments:
will be aligned to the math and English language arts state standards;
will be high-quality and rigorous;
will be developed for students in grades 3 through 8 and high school;
will be reviewed by Georgia teachers;
will require less time to administer than the PARCC assessments;
will be offered in both computer- and paper-based formats; and
will include a variety of item types, such as performance-based and multiple-choice items.
The press release in its entirety can be found at:

30. Assessment
We will continue to work with Georgia educators, as we have in the past, to reconfigure and/or redevelop our state assessments to reflect the instructional focus and expectations inherent in our rigorous state standards in language arts and math.
This is not a suspension of the implementation of the CCGPS in language arts and math.
~ Dr. John Barge

32. Assessment Resources and Instructional Support Resources
The resource sites designed to support the instructional and assessment needs of teachers.
• CCGPS Frameworks are "models of instruction" designed to support teachers in the implementation of the Common Core Georgia Performance Standards (CCGPS). The Georgia Department of Education, Office of Standards, Instruction, and Assessment has provided an example of the Curriculum Map for each grade level and examples of Frameworks aligned with the CCGPS to illustrate what can be implemented within the grade level. School systems and teachers are free to use these models as is; modify them to better serve classroom needs; or create their own curriculum maps, units and tasks.
• The Teacher Resource Link (TRL) is an application that delivers vetted and aligned digital resources to Georgia’s teachers. TRL is accessible via the GaDOE “tunnel” in conjunction with LDS using the single sign-on process. The content is aligned to Common Core Georgia Performance Standards, Georgia Performance Standards, and National Education Technology Standards and pushed to teachers based on course schedule.
• Georgia Online Assessment (OAS) System Teachers can use the OAS as a tool for Assessment for Learning. Student results on assessments help teachers identify learner needs and strengths and inform instructional practices. Robust reports also allow teachers to communicate with students and parents about learner goals, intentions, and outcomes. The OAS helps with a cycle of assessments, instruction, feedback, and communication that allows teachers, students, and parents to be confident with instructional success. Teachers will be particularly interested in the Formative Item Bank.
• Webinar support and links direct teachers to archived webinars as well as links to join or view upcoming webinars.
• Course/Grade Level WIKI spaces- post questions about a unit, a standard, the course, or any other CCGPS math related concern. Shared resources and information are also available at the site.
• CRCT Resources available to provide more information for the CRCT as provided by the GaDoe.
Formula Sheet the formula sheet found on the GaDoe website used on the CRCT.
Georgiastandards.org a wealth of instructional links and information. Open the Common Core GPS tab at the top to access specific math resources for CCGPS.
Ever say, “Gee, I wish I had some resources….” ?
