2010-2011 Stanford © 2009, EPGY Stanford University To offer highly individualized mathematics instruction that accelerates student learning and leads to measurable, sustainable results 2 Not enough time Wide range of abilities In the school In each class School funding has day for review Decreased leading Identifying To class size Covering concepts achievement gaps increases thoroughly while Getting good keeping on the data on pacing guide student progress Differentiation is hard Retention of concepts to achieve Inconsistent or Assessing student Identifying quality absent work quickly ways parents can be involved Giving individual help regularly K-7 Mathematics Course Math Races: Important for improving speed and automaticity Lectures: Mini-lessons that provide base of knowledge Exercises: Problem solving to move through the curriculum Motion: Determines mastery and next strand and exercise Hints: Remediation when first response is not correct 5 Number Sense: Integers Number Sense: Decimals and Fractions Geometry Logic and Reasoning Measurement Data/Statistics/Probability 6 After each exercise, depending on the result, the program determines what a student should do next This ensures individualization even for similar students 7 A Sample Mini-lesson Screen 8 9 Time: 90-100 minutes per week These minutes should occur with regular use such as every day or every other day CFAs (Correct First Attempts): 90-100 per week After each exercise, depending on the result, the program determines what a student should do next Reports are easily accessed for the teacher for the group or for the individual Students and parents can view individual student progress, strand by strand, including a replay of work completed (Session Calendar) The Concept Summary gives details of progress through course concepts Teachers can also view the entire group and use reports to drive instruction With a click on the desktop icon http://epgyschools.stanford.edu/sma EPGY creates a username and password for each student The teacher can find the usernames and passwords on the “reports” tab in the management system under “student accounts” A login screen will appear You should click on “Run Course” to begin the program Math Races come at the beginning of each session The goal of a math race is to work on speed and accuracy You will race against your previous performance You will select a race car or a swimmer, answer the question, click “enter” or “return” to see a green (correct) or red (incorrect) flash When the races are completed, the program will advance the student to the lesson Swimmers or Fast Cars Start !!! The cars ! Listen, Read, and Take Notes …to work independently. Listen to the lectures Use notebooks to list vocabulary, to list other facts to remember, to use to write out a process or a calculation Use the hints to answer the exercise on a second try Calculators??????
