Andrea spent $58 to fill the car up with gas for a roadtrip. Diana spent $37 buying snacks for the trip. Afterward, Andrea had 1/4 as much money as Diana had. How much money did each have at first? The CCSS in Mathematics have two sections: Standards for Mathematical CONTENT and Standards for Mathematical PRACTICE The Standards for Mathematical Content are what students should understand, know, and be able to apply. The Standards for Mathematical Practice are what students should do. Mathematical “Habits of Mind” 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them 6. Attend to precision OVERARCHING HABITS OF MIND CCSS Mathematical Practices REASONING AND EXPLAINING 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others MODELING AND USING TOOLS 4. Model with mathematics 5. Use appropriate tools strategically SEEING STRUCTURE AND GENERALIZING 7. Look for and make use of structure 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning Proficiency Matrix Standards for Mathematical Practice Initial Intermediate Advanced PS, QW, GE, etc. Student engagement strategies Self-Evaluation Where are you on this matrix? What SMP’s are you already overtly fostering in students? Are you getting them to the initial, intermediate, or advanced stage? What SMP’s do you really not address at this point? Make a Plan Pick 1 to 2 SMP’s that you want to focus on in the next month or so. What are you going to do to support students in developing those standards? Where are you (as the teacher) starting from? What can you do to help “move” students to the next stage on the matrix? Share Share your plan at your table. What are your strategies and ideas? What are your concerns? Assessments What are various ways in which we assess: what students know? what students understand? Assessment and Learning “Assessment should be an integral part of teaching. It is the mechanism whereby teachers can learn how students think about mathematics as well as what students are able to accomplish.” Assessment and Learning “Assessment should allow all students to show what they know, understand and can do.” (Cockcroft Report 1982) Assessment and Learning “Assessment for learning is one of the most powerful ways of improving learning and raising standards“ (Black and Wiliam 1998) Assessment What are characteristics of “good” assessment? According to the Shell Centre, high quality assessment has: Curriculum balance Curriculum value Fitness for purpose Formative Assessments Assessment for learning Occurs continuously in classroom both within and between lessons Used to adjust teaching strategies Provides students with useful and meaningful feedback Formative Assessments Focus: To determine what learning comes next Examples: Feedback Open questioning Exit tickets Observations Discussions Ungraded classwork/homeworks Summative Assessments Assessment of learning Occur within, between, and among instructional units Used to identify strengths and gaps in curriculum and instruction Curriculum may be refined Teachers may modify instruction Summative Assessments Focus: To determine: how student groups are progressing how well program is working Examples Graded class work or homework Quizzes End of unit tests Midterms District benchmarks Large Scale Assessments Assessment of learning Frequently high stakes Examine trends over time Used to develop long-term evaluation of curriculum and programs Used to monitor school site, district and state progress Large Scale Assessments Focus: To determine how schools, districts and states are progressing over time Examples: End of course exams CST NAEP SAT/ACT Exams AP Exams Assessment Think of how and when you assess your students. Which ones are assessments for learning? Which ones are assessments of learning? Assessment “What a difference a word makes” Read the article Record 1 thing with which you agree 1 thing with which you might argue 1 thing to which you aspire 1 Aha! Sharing Go around the group and share one of the following: the thing with which you agree the thing with which you might argue the thing to which you aspire your Aha! Pick one thing from your group to share with the whole group Large Scale Assessment WYTIWYG! Large Scale Assessment What you test is what you get! Goals of Assessment “We must ensure that tests measure what is of value, not just what is easy to test. If we want students to investigate, explore, and discover, assessment must not measure just mimicry mathematics.” Everybody Counts PARCC States PARCC States CCSS-M SMARTER Claims Claim #1: Concepts and Procedures “Students can explain and apply mathematical concepts and interpret and carry out mathematical procedures with precision and fluency.” CCSS-M SMARTER Claims Claim #2: Problem Solving “Students can solve a range of complex well-posed problems in pure and applied mathematics, making productive use of knowledge and problem solving strategies.” CCSS-M SMARTER Claims Claim #3: Communicating Reasoning “Students can clearly and precisely construct viable arguments to support their own reasoning and to critique the reasoning of others.” CCSS-M SMARTER Claims Claim #4: Modeling and Data Analysis “Students can analyze complex, realworld scenarios and can construct and use mathematical models to interpret and solve problems.” Score Reporting-Individual “Total Mathematics” score The composite mathematics score will need to have scaling properties that allow for the valid determination of student growth over time. This score will be a weighted composite from the four claims Claim #1: 40% Claims #2-4: about 20% each.

Claim 1 “Students can explain and apply mathematical concepts and interpret and carry out mathematical procedures with precision and fluency.” So what are the classroom implications if we are assessing students in these ways? Multiple Representations Look at the standards for your grade level. Which standards clearly imply that students need to be familiar with a variety of models, representations, and/or strategies? Unit Planning Unit Planning Unit Planning Template Unit Planning Questions 2nd Grade Unit Planning Questions Topic: What is the big idea that you will be addressing in this unit? Unit Planning Questions Content Standards: Which common core standards (or parts of standards) will be addressed in this unit? Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract. 5. Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction. 6. Add up to four two-digit numbers using strategies based on place value and properties of operations. 7. Add and subtract within 1000, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method. Understand that in adding or subtracting three-digit numbers, one adds or subtracts hundreds and hundreds, tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose or decompose tens or hundreds. 7.1 Use estimation strategies to make reasonable estimates in problem solving. CA 8. Mentally add 10 or 100 to a given number 100–900, and mentally subtract 10 or 100 from a given number 100–900. 9. Explain why addition and subtraction strategies work, using place value and the properties of operations.3 Explanations may be supported by drawings or objects. 3 Unit Planning Questions Practice Standards: What standards for mathematical practice (1-2) do I want to focus on and promote during this unit?
