RUSD’s Implementation Timeline

• 2010-2011: Staff Awareness and design

• 2011-2012: Revision of course guides & training for teachers

• 2012-2013: Revise curriculum, coaching on instructional practices, last year of STAR

• 2014-2015: Implement using online & teacher created curriculum

What has RUSD done to prepare for the Transition to Common Core?

1. Board Support to work deliberately to fully implement CC Math and ELA Standards

2. TALK 12 alignment K-12 with TUHSD & Southern Marin K-8 for CC Math

3. Lawrence Hall of Science consultants

4. Revised math course scope & sequence

5. Teacher written units using variety of resources (EngageNY, Illustrative Math, Holt)

6. Training, coaching, revising and piloting

7. Materials evaluations, unit redesign, assessment development

RUSD CC Math Transition Plans • Collaboration with TUHSD and K-8 Southern

Marin Feeder Districts

• Refine units aligned to new scope & sequence & pilot new assessments

• Upgrade technology infrastructure (bandwidth)

• Materials Task Force- evaluate, pilot, decide

• PD focus on coherence and relevance

• Silicon Valley Math Initiative MAR’s tasks

• Smarter Balanced state assessments

Here’s a look at the new assessment….

Judy conducted an experiment. She put a total of 2⅛ cups of water into an empty container. Then, Judy recorded the amount of water that evaporated from the container each day for four days.

The line plot below shows the amount of water that evaporated from the container on each of the four days.

What mixed number represents the amount of water left in thecontainer at the end of the fourth day?
