Homework Discussion

What is your understanding of prioritizing the clusters as major, supporting or additional?

What did you learn by reading and studying the

PARCC Content Framework for your grade and the grades above and below that grade?

Explanations of Major, Additional and

Supporting Cluster-Level Emphases

• Major[m] ( ▲) clusters – areas of intensive focus where students need fluent understanding and application of the core concepts. These clusters require greater emphasis than the others based on the depth of the ideas, the time that they take to master, and/or their importance to future mathematics or the demands of college and career readiness.

• Supporting [s] clusters – rethinking and linking; areas where some material is being covered, but in a way that applies core understanding; designed to support and strengthen areas of major emphasis.

• Additional [a] clusters – expose students to other subjects; may not connect tightly or explicitly to the major work of the grade. *A Note of

Caution: Neglecting material will leave gaps in students’ skills and understanding and will leave students unprepared for the challenges of a later grade.

D0… Recommendations for Using the

Cluster Level Emphases

Do ...

Use the guidance to inform instructional decisions regarding time and other resources spent on clusters of varying degrees of emphasis.

Allow the focus on the major work of the grade to open up the time and space to bring the Standards for Mathematical Practice to life in mathematics instruction through sense‐making, reasoning, arguing and critiquing, modeling, etc.

Evaluate instructional materials taking the cluster‐level emphases into account. The major work of the grade must be presented with the highest possible quality; the supporting work of the grade should indeed support the major focus, not detract from it.

Set priorities for other implementation efforts taking the emphases into account, such as staff development; new curriculum development; or revision of existing formative or summative testing at the state, district or school level.

D0N’T… Recommendations for Using the Cluster Level Emphases

Don’t ...

Neglect any material in the standards. (Instead, use the information provided to connect Supporting Clusters to the other work of the grade.)

Sort clusters from Major to Supporting, and then teach them in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

Use the cluster headings as a replacement for the standards. All features of the standards matter — from the practices to surrounding text to the particular wording of individual content standards. Guidance is given at the cluster level as a way to talk about the content with the necessary specificity yet without going so far into detail as to compromise the coherence of the standards.

The Importance of the

Math Practices in Claim 1

Leadership for the Common Core in Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee 2013-2014

Mathematical Practices in Claim 1

This claim addresses procedural skills and the conceptual understanding on which developing skills depends. It is important to assess how aware students are of how concepts link together and why math procedures work the way they do. Central to understanding this claim is making the connection to the mathematical practices as stated in the CCSSM:

MP5: Use appropriate tools strategically.

MP6: Attend to precision.

MP7: Look for and make use of structure.

MP8: Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

The Importance of the Math Practices

How can I teach my kids to get the answer to this problem?

How can I use this problem to teach the mathematics of this unit for student understanding?

as opposed to…

Explain the difference between these two ways of approaching mathematics teaching.

SMP emphasizes Doing and Demonstrating and not ‘answer getting.’ The Standards of Mathematical Practice are critically important.

Leadership for the Common Core in Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee 2013-2014

Standards for Mathematical Practice

The eight Standards for

Mathematical Practice place an emphasis on students

doing mathematics and

demonstrating learning.

Equitable achievement will begin with an understanding of how the selection of tasks , the assessment of tasks , and the student learning environment can support or undermine equity in our schools.

Linking Instruction to Assessment:

Recognizing Tasks with Increased

Cognitive Rigor

DOK in Task

Not all tasks are created equal:

• Different tasks will provoke different levels and kinds of student thinking.

• The level and kind of thinking students engage in determines what they learn.

Reflection:

What? So What? Now What?

• Understand how the assessment targets in Claim 1 are related to CCSS and understand the relative importance of each target.

• Clarify and enhance understanding of the Depth of Knowledge

(DOK) Levels within CCSS and SBAC assessment items.

What have you learned about linking assessment instruction? What actions will you take based on what we have talked about so far in regards to aligning tasks, DOK, and higher level thinking?
