Math Tasks: I give my students a math task once a week. The common core really focuses on student thinking and going

deeper. Not all of the information is given in each task and that is on purpose. For example: If the students need

to figure out how many legs they counted at the zoo, they first need to make an estimate of how many of each

animal they saw. The teacher does not tell them how many animals, but guides them in their thinking. For

example if a student says (thinking they are hilarious of course) I saw a million hippos at the zoo!, the teacher

can say: Would you really see that many? Ok well as long as you do the math right, the number is up to you.

The students can work in partners or groups to complete the task. Try not to give them too much help or

information. Remember: the new core is trying to get them to become independent and deep thinkers. Below are

some guiding questions you can ask. When finished, have students share their thinking and their work.

Is there another way you can do that?

How do you know?

What have you discovered?

What other choices do you have?

How are these similar?

How are these different?

Where can you find that answer? What do you find

difficult or challenging?

Describe. Explain Tell.

Restate-Can you tell me what he said?

Exit Tickets At the end of a lesson, I pass out an exit ticket. Using exit tickets is a quick and effective way to assess

learning. I usually grade them either as my students walk out the door for recess or after school. If I grade them

before recess and a student's work is incorrect, I send the student back to his/her desk to complete the exit

ticket accurately before going to recess. If I grade them after school, I make a list of students who need to be in

my re-teaching group.

I Cans. These are the objectives for G 1 that are to be displayed and talked about throughout the unit. They are

colorful and in kid friendly terms.
