Agenda

• Introduction• Common Core “What’s Different?”• Math Talks• MIU• Assessment Resources• Mathematical Practices• Article “Never Say Anything a Kid Can

Say”

Common Core – Calculator Policy

GRADES 3 – 5 NO CALCULATORS!!!!!

GRADES 6 – 7 BASIC FOUR OPERATION CALCULATOR WITH SQUARE

ROOT FUNCTION (ONLINE)

GRADE 8 ONLINE SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR

PARCC HAS SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THAT REQUIRE CALCULATORS. STUDENTS WHO ARE ALLOWED TO

USE CALCULATORS CAN ONLY USE THE CALCULATOR ON APPROPRIATE QUESTIONS.

Common Core vs. ISAT

Adam’s Process

Take 10% off the original price. Then, add the sales tax to the discounted price.

Brandi’s Process

Determine the original price of the item, including sales tax. Then, take 10% off.

A store is advertising a sale with 10% off all items in the store. Sales tax is 5%. Adam and Brandi are customers discussing how the discount and tax will be calculated.

In both equations, T represents the total cost of the television and p represents the regular price. Are they both correct? Use the properties of operations to justify your answer.

Common Core vs. ISAT

Michael bought a stereo on sale for 20% off the regular price. The regular price of the stereo was $180. What was the sale price of the stereo?

A. $36B. $160C. $90D. $144

Math Talks

A daily ritual (approximately 10 minutes per day) with the entire class for the purpose of developing conceptual understanding of and efficiency with numbers, operations and mathematics.

Math Talks are used to: - Review and practice procedures and concepts - Introduce concepts and properties about numbers - Reinforce procedures and numbers concepts - Explore mathematical connections and relationships

Mathematical Instructional Unit (MIU) Model

ASSESSMENTS TO PROGRESS TOWARDS COMMON CORE

Three assessments that will progress students toward common core assessments:

REACH (MARS)• BOY and EOY• Knowledge and application of concepts• Explain responses• Gradual pace of easy to hard BENCHMARK • Quarterly• Knowledge and application of concepts• Both multiple choice and short answer questions FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT LESSON (FAL) • Suggested Quarterly• Application of concepts• Week long process

Formative Assessment Lesson

Two Types of FALs are Available:• Concept Development: focus on assessing and developing

conceptual understanding, lessons are designed to reveal and develop students’ conceptions, and misconceptions, of significant mathematical ideas and how these connect to their other knowledge.

• Problem Solving: lessons are designed to assess and develop students’ capacity to apply their mathematics flexibly to non-routine unstructured problems, both from the real world and within pure mathematics, built around rich tasks that assess how far students’ can “think with mathematics”

Every FAL Includes:• Pre and Post Assessments• Problems for student to tackle and solve• Questions for students to discuss, in groups and as a class• Detailed guidance for teachers on ways to interpret student

responses and provide appropriate supports or interventions• Solutions to the tasks

Formative Assessment Lesson

Day 1 – Pre Assessment Day 2 – Collaborative Group Response Day 3 – Gallery Walk Day 4 – Critique students samples Day 5 – Post Assessment

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

8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
