Using the Deconstructing Math Standards Protocol to Address Common Core Math Content
APS Mathematics Team
Georgia Math Conference
October 17, 2013

2. Outcomes Use a collaborative protocol to plan mathematics learning.
Identify Content and Practice Standards
Identify Possible Misconceptions
Identify Strategies to Address Misconceptions
Discuss bridges and barriers to this work.

3. How Did We Get Here? Teachers Coaches CCSSM Shifts Challenges
Ongoing PD

4. Our Inspiration…
“Effective mathematics professional development is sustained and embedded within professional learning communities and focused on the actual tasks of teaching using the same materials you use with students.”
Common Core Mathematics in a PLC at Work – Kanold et al

5. Our Inspiration…
“The CCSS require a content shift to less (fewer standards) is more (deeper rigor with understanding) at each grade level. This emphasis will require new levels of knowledge and skill development for every mathematics teacher to understand what the CCSS expect students to learn at each grade level or within each course, blended with how students are expected to learn it.”

6. Seeing the Protocol Emerge

8. Let’s Give it a Try
Work alone to complete the entire Gas Consumption task. (5 min)

9. Let’s Give it a Try
Discuss the remaining steps in the protocol.
Content and Practice Standards addressed in the problem.
Possible student misconceptions.
Strategies to address student misconceptions and content.

10. Where do we get problems?
Illustrative Mathematics Project
PARCC and SBAC prototypes
NCTM Great Tasks series
GaDOE Framework Unit Tasks
Inside Mathematics
Other states

11. Grade Level Practice Time
Elementary
High School
Middle School (Choose to work with Elementary or High School)

12. Gallery Walk
What connections do you see between all three levels of math we have looked at today?

13. Barriers and Bridges
With regards to the deconstructing protocol, what might be:
Hard to implement?
Easy to implement?

14. If you don’t know where you are going to, you will end up somewhere else.
