1. Welcome: Let’s Self Assess Right now at this moment, rate yourselves: How comfortable/familiar are you with Math Investigations? Not at all Somewhat Very Familiar Familiar Please place a sticky note on the number line of how comfortable you are with Math Investigations. 0510

2. INVESTIGATIONS FIRST GRADE TRAINING, PART 2 8:30am – 11:00am

3. WELCOME

4. LET’S TALK  Introductions  Amy Ebert at Harrisburg Elementary  Becky Rice at A.T. Allen Elementary  Talk at your tables:  Who you are  Share positive experiences you’ve had with Math Investigations this year

5. Agenda  Intro  Warm Up – Classroom Routine activity  Looking Closer at the Lessons  Break  Curriculum Map Alignment & Planning  Access Codes  Exit Slips

6. Classroom Routines Activity  Start With/Get To: Forward or Backward?  Unit 6: Session 1.5  Model  Start With/Get To Start With/Get To  Let’s Talk About It…  When can we use it? (spiral review, lesson warm-up)  How do we use it?  Where do we find it? Beige box in Teacher Manual throughout Investigations unit planners and sessions Interactive Whiteboard – online access

7. Layout of Investigations Units/Sessions  Unit 6 Investigation 1— Combinations of 10  Planner – pages 22-25 Classroom Routines – Beige box (p. 50) May occur outside your math block; Could be used as a transition.  Activity (aka – Mini lesson/Opening) Game, small group instruction, guided instruction, student tasks Blue text: discuss ideas Orange text: supporting the range of learners Differentiation & Intervention Guide gives more in-depth explanation Guide provides mini-quiz at the beginning of each Investigation session May use guide as extra practice or as pre-/formative assessment Red text: on-going assessment; observing students at work This tells you what to look as students are working Don’t always have to create something for students Highlights of student talking points “Students might say…”

8. Layout of Investigations Units/Sessions (continued)  Unit 6 Investigation 1— Combinations of 10 (continued)  Resources – black activity pages in the margins Spinner = recording sheet for activity w/o icon = game pieces/cards or game boards  Student Activity Books – blue activity pages in the margins Helpful Codes: Backpack = homework page Pencil = practice page Blank (w/o icon) = teacher choice of use; extra practice  Discussion (aka The Closing) Don’t skip this part! Very important…often these get to the big ideas about the lesson. A time for highlighting student’s work and sharing ideas

9. Implementation Guide  All Classroom Routines are there with extensions  Teacher notes referenced in lessons are in this guide  Provides ideas for setting up classroom for Math Investigations  The only place to find a Scope & Sequence for all grade levels  The only location of an index for all Investigations materials

10. Let’s take a break!  We’ll meet back and continue in ten minutes.

11. Curriculum Map Alignment  Take a look at the First Grade Math Curriculum Map  Curriculum Map Curriculum Map  Always use this to guide your instruction  Students will be able to do… Use these to concepts to plan and guide your lesson

12. How do we align Investigations materials with our CCS Curriculum Maps?  Let’s look at what the “Student will be able to do…” from the CCS Curriculum Map.  Add or subtract to find the missing number  Count on when adding  Count backwards when subtracting  Relate addition and subtraction  Use fact families to add or subtract  Use known strategies and skills to solve problems  Decompose whole numbers to make a ten  Task:  Each table will be select a specific objective beneficial to their own team’s planning.  Look through Sessions 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 2.3, and align materials and activities to that specific objective.

13. Planning Materials  Where to start?  Look at the Common Core insert guide for each unit & investigation What activities align with student objectives from CCS Curriculum Map?  Looking across Sessions 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 2.3 Consider the math focus points What is it that I want my students to understand?  Determine and consider…  What do I need to gather and/or prepare? Look at the unit planners at beginning of Investigation 1 & 2 Do I need student activity pages, game boards, manipulatives, etc?

14. Assessment  Back to curriculum map  Pre-assessment  Summative Assessments  Session quizzes from D&I Guide  Be cautious about using the Investigations End of Unit assessments – have you taught everything that is assessed in that unit?
