1. Math Night Presented by: Faculty and Staff of Turning Point academy October 10, 2013

2. Order of Presentation 1. Common Core Shifts 2. Testing Shifts- MSA vs. PARCC 3. “Life Application”- Helping at Home 4. Activities Based Math 5. Classroom Break Out

3. What is the Common Core? (CCSS)  The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) describe what students are expected to learn from K-12  Covers Mathematics and English/ Language Arts

4. What does this mean for my student?  More rigorous classroom demands  A shift in instructional methods  More responsibility—deeper thinking and more explanation and justification required  Mastery of standards expected —no more re- teaching from year to year  New assessment—PARCC (Partnership for Assessment for Readiness for College & Careers)

6. Common Core States

7. Testing Changes MSA vs. PARCC Assessment of school progress will change in 2014. What is PARCC When will PARCC testing start Preparing for the PARCC Higher Order Thinking- ask questions that require explanation and reasoning.

8. MSA vs. PARCC MSA Look at the expression below. 12 + 4 x (12 - 9) What is the value of the expression? a. 24 b. 48 c. 51 d. 55

9. PARCC Part A

10. Part B

11. Part B cont.

12. Part C

13. Scoring the PARCC

14. 8 Mathematical Practices  1 - Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.  2 - Reason abstractly and quantitatively.  3 - Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.  4 - Model with mathematics  5 - Use appropriate tools strategically.  6 - Attend to precision  7 - Look for and make use of structure (graphs, diagrams)  8 - Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning (what patterns do you see?)

15. Life Application Math Skills at Home

16. Turn and Talk  What is your attitude towards Math? Was it a positive or negative experience? Explain  Share out

17. Building “Life Application” Math Skills at Home  Embrace the “Need to Know” factor  Interactive Math activities between parents and their children  Budget  Grocery shopping  Gas cost/miles  Cooking  Measuring

18. Math Rotations  K-3 rd Grade  Ms. Sayles  Ms. Covington  4 th -5 th Grade  & Mrs. Akinyode  6 th -8 th Grade  Ms. Roberts
