1. MATH Instruction

2. All students can learn

9. Domain progressions across the grade levels K – 12

10. Not as varied as current language arts

11. Larger variation of content presentation with pre-algebra being eliminated.

12. These are the domains by grade band

14. New Core for math is composed of content and 8 practice standards
Make sense of problems and persevere
Reason abstractly and quantitatively
Construct viable arguments and critique others’
Model with math
Use appropriate tools strategically
Attend to precision
Look for and make use of structure
Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

15. Effective Instruction

16. I TAUGHT STRIPE HOW TO WHISTLE

17. I DON’T HEAR HIM WHISTLING

18. I SAID I TAUGHT HIM. I DIDN’T SAY HE LEARNED IT

19. It is time for a paradigm shift
It won’t be comfortable for many of us
It is essential for all of our students

20. We need to connect teaching with learning
I TAUGHT STRIPE HOW TO WHISTLE
I DON’T HEAR HIM WHISTLING
I SAID I TAUGHT HIM. I DIDN’T SAY HE LEARNED IT
We need to connect teaching with learning

21. What is the student on the verge of learning? NOT
What is the next section of my textbook?

23. First define what success is:
What is proficiency?
Second, define how you will measure success.
Alternative assessment methods?
Finally, define how you will provide instruction that ensures success.

26. 3 Tier model of instruction

36. We still have not answered the big question, HOW?

37. Here’s the paradigm shift: Quit trying to cover the core
All students will get the essentials
Most students will get the whole core
Some will see questions on the end of level test that they have not received instruction on
Having the essentials will give students a real chance at success at the next level
Do not spend Tier 1 instruction time on concepts that are not in your core, that is what Tier 3 instruction is for
