welcome middle school mathematics educators & principals

WELCOMEMIDDLE SCHOOL MATHEMATICS EDUCATORS & PRINCIPALS

Day 3 Educator Effectiveness AcademySummer 2011

2

DAY 3The participant will:

Continue to reflect on how the Standards for Mathematical Practice will be infused into daily instruction in the mathematics classroom.

Continue to investigate the content of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) and related documents.

3

Find Someone WhoOutcome:

The participant will refine his/her understanding of the Common Core State Standards and the associated vocabulary.

4

o Mix and mingle, ask each other one question on the handout.

o Record the correct answer and the name of respondent

o Move to a new person and ask another question.

o Continue until the handout is complete.

Learning Progression of a Standard

Outcome: The participant will develop a learning progression that includes a selected standard.

7

LEARNING PROGRESSION OF A STANDARD

o In your group, discuss what a student must know before learning the targeted standard and what knowledge the targeted standard will support in later coursework.

o Find the targeted standard in the appropriate framework document.

o Search standards in grade level(s) before and after the targeted standard for standards that are related to it.

o Record your findings on the provided table.

Course Standard Rationale

4th Grade4.MD.4 Line plots used for solving addition and

subtraction problems.

5th Grade5.MD.2 Measuring central tendency. The

example finds the mean.

6th Grade

6.SP.3: Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number.

7th Grade7.SP.3 Use a dot plot to show mean absolute

deviation.

8th Grade

High School

9-12.S.ID.1

Summarize, represent, and interpret data on a single count or measurement variable. Represent data with plots on the real number line (dot plots, histograms, and box plots).**dot plots are the same as line plots

Targeted Standard

9

o The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics were developed with consideration for research-based learning progressions that detail what is known today about the development of students’ mathematical knowledge, skill, and understanding over time.

o Examination of selected standards that exemplify a learning progression from one grade/course to another is intended to provide evidence of this fact.

SUMMARY

PrincipalsWelcome to Session 2

11

Day 3Outcomes for Session 2The participant will:

o Identify the Standards for Mathematical Practice that would be employed while completing a selected rich open-ended mathematics task

o Identify standards that need support and offer suggestions regarding the types of support that would be useful

12

Standards for Mathematical Practice

8 Corners Outcome The participant will identify the Standards for Mathematics Practice that would be employed while completing a selected rich open-ended mathematics task.

13

Problem: Negative Powers Look at this expression using -4 to three powers.

• Rearrange the base (-4) and exponents (-3, -2, and -1) to obtain the greatest value after simplifying the expression.

• Rearrange the base (-4) and exponents (-3, -2, and -1) to obtain the least value after simplifying the expression.

• Use mathematics to justify your answer.

14

SummaryShare…Why did you make your selection?

15

Toolkit InputOutcome The participant will identify standards that need support and will offer suggestions regarding the types of support that would be useful.
