1. Any questions you are hoping to have answered tonight? Write them on a Post-ItNote and add them to our Questions poster.

2. Better preparation for the higher demands ofcollege and careers More time to master major math concepts Greater organization of instructional focusthroughout the grade levels (Builds rather thanCycles) Emphasis on real-world problem solving Inspire a greater interest in mathematics 3. Remember: you need to understand the whatand why of an algorithm along with being ableto apply the computational skill Understanding + accurate computation = abilityto read and solve real-world problems (not tomention a happy math teacher and a chance ata STEM career!) 4. Memorize multiplication facts Work on adding and subtracting using smartstrategies (doubles, groups of ten, countingback, comparing, mental math) Practice measurement and fractions inteachable moments 5. Grade Three MathematicsUse place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100 Grade Four MathematicsUse place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place Grade Five MathematicsUse place value understanding to round decimals to any place 6. Emily would like to buy a bicycle that cost $510.00. Shehas saved a dollar every day for the past year. Her friendtells her that if she just saves another dollar a day foranother month and a half she will have enough moneyfor the bike. Prove or disprove Emilys friends advice. 365 + 30 + 15 = n 365 + 45 5 + 5 =10 60 + 40 =100 300 + 0 = 300 300 + 100 + 10 = 410 No, Emilys friend is wrong, 410 < 510 7. 15 x 7 = n Think : 15 = 10 + 5 Use the distributive property (10 x 7) + (5 x 7) 70 + 35 = 70 + 30 + 5 70 + 30 = 100 + 5 105 8. Grade Three MathematicsUnderstand two fractions as equal if they are the same size or at the same point on a number line Grade four MathematicsExplain why a fraction is equal to another fraction Grade Five MathematicsAdd and subtract fractions with different denominators 9. Place each fraction in the correctlocation on the number line.1/23/26/2 10. Julian makes and sells juice drinks. The juicedrinks are sold in six-packs and boxes.A six-pack has 6 juice drinks and costs $2.A box has 20 juice drinks and costs $7.The Friendly Corner Store placed this order:24 juice drinks packaged in six-packs200 juice drinks packaged in boxes.Julian needs to fill this order. Show the stepshe will take to fill this order and determinethe amount of money the Friendly CornerStore will owe. 11. Use TIPS Thought: What is this problem asking me to do(compare, estimate, rank, etc? What operationswill I need to use?) Information: What is the Needed Data from theproblem? (underline and rewrite it) Plan: A visual representation of the work needed tosolve it. (labeled) Solution: Sentences that someone else could readand follow that show how I came to the solution(s).I use my math vocabulary! 12. Jack loves his new Lincoln Log Building Set.The set contains 1,000 logs. He is planningon building Paul Bunyans lumber town. Hewill need to make 5 houses, one barn, andone dining hall to build the town. If housestake 65 logs to build each one, barns take425 logs to build each one, and dining hallstake 215 logs to build each one, will Jackhave enough logs to build the whole village?Prove your answer. 13. Thought-I am supposed to find out how many Lincoln Logs itwill take to build the town and whether or not I haveenough. Information- I have 1000 logs. I need to make 5 houseswhich take 65 logs each. I need to make 1 barn which takes425 logs. I need to make 1 dining hall which takes 215 logs. Plan- First, I will find out how many Lincoln Logs it takes tomake 5 houses. I will multiply 65 logs by 5 houses to find outthat I need 325 logs for all the houses. One barn takes 425logs and one dining hall takes 215 logs. When I add all thelogs together (325 + 425 + 215), I find out that I need 965logs. Solution - 325 + 425 + 215 = 965 Since I have 1,000 LincolnLogs, I have plenty to build this town. 14. What do we do when our child says, Thats not theway my teacher showed us!1. Realize that there is often more than one method to solving math problems.2. Rather than introducing an algorithm that might be more applicable to a higher grade, send a note and leave the task alone.3. Ask your child to demonstrate how he or she has learned to do it in math class. Look at examples from class with your child. 15. http://learnzillion.com/ A site where third through nine grademath lessons are modeled for many ofthe Common Core skills Free, no membership needed 16. Work on unit vocabulary create flashcards for math terms andexamples for students to study and match Encourage computer games that require math skills in order tocompete or move ahead in the game Consider playing board games that require math skills and mathreasoning:Masterminds, Yahtzee, Monopoly, Triominoes, Chess, Checkers, etc Have your child read word problems out loud and locate thedata, check for how many answers are required, discuss strategiesfor solving. Have your child tell you how to solve a word problem then have himor her write down their directions as the communication/solutionpiece encourage them to use math vocabulary! 17. Council for Great City Schools Parent Roadmaps tothe Common Core in Mathematics and LanguageArtshttp://www.cgcs.orgNational PTA Helping Students Achievehttp://pta.org/programsMath Activities for Parents to Use at Homehttp://www2.ed.gov/parents/academic/help/math/index.html 18. How does the common coresupport vocabulary development? 19. We have known for decades that there is arelationship between vocabulary developmentand reading success. In 2000, The National Institute of Child Healthand Human Development completed a researchstudy proving a DIRECT relationship betweenearly vocabulary development and academicachievement in ALL areas. 20. Through readingby adult to child andindependent reading by child. Authentic writing activitiesjournal, letterwriting, or written explanations or labeling. Conversation--- usually initiated by an adult, butwith near equivalent participation Experience--- this is perhaps the most importantvehicle for language acquisition. 21. Everyday speech Not challenging but essential for basic communicationand interactions with others. Sometimes called sight words or Dolch Words They are the words that connect more complex wordsto images or ideas. Examples-- some, become, home, when, bird, many 22. General academic words. Found in various types of fiction and non-fiction tests Precise or specific words Essential for comprehension of grade level text Represent subtle or precise ways to express simple ideas Often multiple meaning words such as: the color green andgreen with envy 23. General/Ordinary Precise/Subtle Walk Sauntered Angry Outraged Serious Dignified Dangerous Deadly* Mom was very* Mom was so engrossedinterested in her new in her new book that shebook! did not hear the doorbellring!! 24. These words are closely related to context andtherefore require close understanding of thespecific text meaning. They may be repeated within the text, but with adifferent contextual meaning and usage.---Example- Joe saw the pretty girl across the room. Joe was pretty angry when he realized that hisbest friend asked his date for a dance at the Prom. Example- You need your student number to log into the school computer network. Please number your paper for the test. 25. Standard- specific based words Often found in the glossary of non-fiction books Closely related to the domain, or academic areafor example: circumference, aorta, legislature Understanding of the meaning is required forstudents to understand the related concept. 26. Excerpt from a grade 4-5 text complexity band. Tier II Red, Tier III Blue : In early times, no one knew how volcanoes formed or why they spouted red- hot molten rock. In modern times, scientists began to study volcanoes. They still dont know all the answers, but they know much about how a volcano works. Our planet made up of many layers of rock. The top layers of solid rock are called the crust. Deep beneath the crust is the mantle, where it is so hot that some rock melts. The melted, or molten, rock is called magma. Volcanoes are formed when magma pushes its way up through the crack in Earths crust. This is called a volcanic eruption. When magma pours forth on the surface, it is called lava. 27. Create experiences that promote vocabularydevelopment. For example, if you visit a museum,or monument, read and discuss the text related tothe exhibits. Television and movies are FULL of examples offigurative language of all types!! Identify anddiscuss how it impacts the storyline. Read as a family!! Talk about what you are reading.Have listen to this moments!!! Expose your child to different types of literatureand text and guide them to notice text nuances. 28. Everyday, the average child in the United Statesspends: 4 hours and 29 minutes watching TV 2 hours and 31 minutes listening to music and 1 hour and 13 minutes playing video games. Everyday, the average child in the United Statesspends: 25 minutes a day reading (mostly fiction) 29. Reading at home matters! Statistics on the Benefits of Reading 20 minutes per day = 1.8 million words per year= 90th percentile on Reading tests 4.6 minutes per day = 282,000 words per year =50th percentile on Reading tests 1 minute per day = 8,000 words per year =10th percentile on Reading tests Vocabulary develops at a much greater ratewhen students read 30. Common Core Standards ask students to spend50% of their time reading nonfiction texts Nonfiction builds background knowledge whichaccounts for as much as 33% of the variance instudent achievement. 31.
