CREC SCHOOLS

Pacing Guide

• Changes in pacing at all levels. • Order changed in:

– Kindergarten -> Measurement moved earlier– Grade 1 -> Switched Unit 1 and 2, Measurement moved earlier– Grade 2 -> Switched Unit 1 and 2, Embedded Unit 9

throughout– Grade 3 -> Switched Unit 7 and 8– Grade 4 -> Switched Unit 1 and 2– Grade 5 -> Separated Unit 2 into two separate units

• Reminders:– Suggested pacing– Each unit also has an additional week for re-teaching and

enrichment that is NOT accounted for

CREC SCHOOLS

Unit Newsletters(Teachers and Parents)

• Teacher Unit Newsletter– Posted on P21

• Parent Unit Newsletter– Will be forthcoming before each unit– Unit 1 and 2 posted now

CREC SCHOOLS

Unit Plan

• Only change is the addition of resources– Hands-On Standards CCSS and Fraction editions– Learnzillion– Illustrativemathematics– Georgia Tasks– CCSS Mathematical Practice Tasks

• Per teacher request, we will work on adding a separate section that focuses on learning tasks to be used during stations

• Reminders:– Living document with embedded resources… always work

with electronic version

CREC SCHOOLS

Unit Tracking Sheet

• No Changes

• Reminders– Optional – Can be used to help track student outcomes

for unit

CREC SCHOOLS

Journal Prompts

• With the new CCSSM Practice Standards, we need to ensure our students are communicating on a regular basis.

• 1 per week of your choice, can do more• Should be kept in student data portfolio to

demonstrate growth

CREC SCHOOLS

Unit Assessments

• All grade levels were revised based on feedback and data from 2012-2013

• A second version of each assessment to be given as the pre-assessment and re-assessment has been added to the unit plan

• All unit assessments should go in the student’s data portfolio

• Reminders:– Not Optional – data for any post-assessments will be entered in

Performance Pathways• Optional to put pre-assessment data in PP

– Assessment can be given again after re-teaching or intervention

CREC SCHOOLS

Unit Performance Tasks

• I will be collecting student samples for each task• All tasks should go in the student’s data portfolio

• Reminders– Not Optional– Embedded in Unit Plan– Use instructionally and as formative data– Build student capacity to complete tasks

• First task should be launched together• Second task could be done in pairs depending on needs of

class/grade level

CREC SCHOOLS

Math Rubric

• Should be posted in room and in upper grades, given to students for their math folder

• Reminders– Each grade level has a 4-point rubric that should be used

to score any math investigation, journal entry, or performance task.

– Focuses on the three main components we want students to provide• Accurate answer• Model/representation of answer• Communication of answer

– Aligns with the general scoring on our report cards.

CREC SCHOOLS

IXL Alignment

• All elementary students have IXL accounts• These can be used in school during

workshop as well as at home• Alignment provides the appropriate

activities for each unit• Will also be included in parent unit letter

CREC SCHOOLS

Literature List

• Each unit has several pieces of children’s literature aligned to it

• Copies of these books were ordered for all teachers this year

• Intention is for you to place in classroom library as well as use instructionally

CREC SCHOOLS

Fact Fluency Plan

• Defines fluency• Outlines expectations• Gives suggestions for monitoring/tracking• Gives suggestions for instructional models/

activities• www.xtramath.com

CREC SCHOOLS

Fluency in Grades 1, 2 and 3

• Explicit in your standards and curriculum (Unit 2)• Main resource is Mastering the Basic Math Facts• Three district benchmarks will be given this year• Suggested Instructional/Assessment Plan: September

(Benchmark)October November December January

(Benchmark)February March April May

CREC SCHOOLS

Fluency in Grades 4 and 5

• No direct instruction to fluency – fluency should still be an important piece of the

math time

• A district benchmark will be given to all grade 4 and 5 students three times this year (September, January, May). – The benchmark in September will establish baseline

data and be used to target individual needs. – The January benchmark will be used to re-evaluate

individual needs– The May benchmark will be used to analyze

mastery/growth.

CREC SCHOOLS

General Resources• New

– Mathematical Practices Resources• Practice Posters• Lesson Seeds

– Problem Solving Decks• Great prompts to get kids thinking!

• Reminders– Vocabulary

• Word wall is a must with new curriculum• Don’t just put words up on the wall, make sure students interact with the words.

– With older students, have them create the word wall

– Unit Mapping Template• Useful to help you plan the unit• Will be template used during unit planning parties

– Lesson Plan Templates• Follow the math workshop/guided math model

CREC SCHOOLS

Report Card Guides

• Teacher guides have been provided for each grade level

• Meant to help teachers determine a student’s progress towards the end-of-the-year standards in mathematics

• Just a guide and cannot account for every possible scenario a teacher may have in their classroom

• Provides consistent guidance on the different levels of Academic Expectations for each of the trimesters.

• This is meant only for teachers and should not be shared with parents.

CREC SCHOOLS

Math Curriculum: HOW

• Your team is your greatest resource• Schoology• Support from curriculum team• Feedback still encouraged
