MFAS Project Overview

Project Components

• The development of 376 formative assessment tasks aligned to the CCSSM.

• Two RCTs of the effect of the use of MFAS on student achievement and teacher knowledge of content and pedagogy.

• The development of 18 lesson study toolkits aligned to the domains of the CCSSM.

Goals of this Presentation

• To introduce you to the process of lesson study

• To preview the Lesson Study Support System and our Kindergarten Numbers and Operations in Base Ten Toolkit

• Share the experiences of a team of teachers engaging in lesson study surrounding Common Core standard K.NBT.1.1

What is Lesson Study?

• Teacher-directed form of professional development

• Collaborative

• Multi-stage process

• Focus on teacher professional development that leads to improved student learning outcomes

Work with numbers 11-19 to gain foundations for place value

K.NBT.1.1

Compose and decompose numbers from 11-19 into ten ones and some further ones, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each composition or decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 18 = 10 + 8); understand that these numbers are composed of ten ones and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.
