Our Timeline… Introduction to Rigor Creating an Environment to Support Rigorous Instruction Designing Rigorous Learning Experiences
5
North Carolina Teaching Standards Standard II: Teachers establish a respectful environment for a diverse population of students Teachers treat students as individuals Standard III: Teachers know the content they teach Teachers align their instruction with the CCSS Standard IV: Teachers facilitate learning for their students Teachers know the ways in which learning takes place, and they know the appropriate levels of intellectual, physical, social and emotional development of their students Teachers plan appropriate instruction for their students. Teachers help students develop critical-thinking and problem-solving skills Standard V: Teachers reflect on their practice

Story about Fractions… A book is my hook!!
10
Multiplying Fractions with Cake A rectangular cake is evenly divided in half between two classes. Mr. T’s students ate two- thirds of their portion of the cake. How much of the whole cake did they eat? How do you know? Justify your answer in writing. Draw a picture or other visual to represent your answer. How did your team solve this problem? What is another way to solve this problem? Ensure every team member can explain and justify their answer. Use any of the following materials: 1” tiles Plain paper Fraction Bars markers
11
ELABORATION A rectangular cake is evenly divided in half between two classes. Mr. T’s students ate three-fourths of their portion of the cake. Mr. T has 15 students, each of whom ate a piece of cake. How many total pieces of cake were there to begin with? How many pieces does Mr. T’s class have left? How do you know? Justify your answer in writing. Draw a picture or other visual to represent your answer. How did your team solve this problem? What is another way to solve this problem? Ensure every team member can explain and justify their answer. Use any of the following materials: 1” tiles Plain paper Fraction Bars markers
12
Common Core Mathematical Practices 1.Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2.Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3.Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4.Model with mathematics. 5.Use appropriate tools strategically. 6.Attend to precision. 7.Look for and make use of structure. 8.Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
13
Questions: In what ways did this lesson demonstrate rigorous instruction? How might you extend a lesson like this to make it even more rigorous? What would the lesson look like/feel like to students?

The 5E Instructional Model Engagement - students’ prior knowledge accessed and interest engaged in the phenomenon Exploration - students participate in an activity that facilitates conceptual change Explanation - students generate an explanation of the phenomenon Elaboration - students' understanding of the phenomenon challenged and deepened through new experiences Evaluation - students assess their understanding of the phenomenon http://www.bscs.org/bscs-5e-instructional-model

Rigor is creating an environment in which each student is expected to learn at high levels, each student is supported so he or she can learn at high levels, and each student demonstrates learning at high levels. (Blackburn, 2008) Blackburn, Barbara. Rigor Is Not a Four-Letter Word. Larchmont, NY: Eye on Education. 2008. p. 16.

Application Model 1. Knowledge in one discipline 2. Application within discipline 3. Application across disciplines 4. Application to real-world predictable situations 5. Application to real-world unpredictable situations
29
Level Level 1 – Knowledge in One Discipline Level 2 – Application in One Discipline Level 3 – Interdisciplinary Application Level 4 – Real-World Predictable Situations Level 5 – Real-world Unpredictable Situations Performance Level 1 – Label foods by nutritional groups Level 2 – Rank foods by nutritional value Level 3 – Make cost comparisons of different foods considering nutritional value Level 4 – Develop a nutritional plan for a person with a health problem affected by food intake Level 5 – Devise a sound nutirional plan for a group of –year olds who are picky eaters Basic Nutrition

Depth of Knowledge RecallSkill/Concept Strategic Thinking Extended Thinking Recall – Recite, Repeat, Arrange, State, Tell, Calculate, Define, Draw, Identify, List, Label, Arrange, Calculate, Draw, State, Use, Name, Report Skill/Concept – Infer, Collect and Display, Organize, Modify, Predict, Interpret, Graph, Classify, Separate, Cause/Effect, Estimate, Compare, Relate, Infer, Identify Patterns. Strategic Thinking – Revise, Critique, Formulate, Hypothesize, Cite Evidence, Draw Conclusions, Construct Extended Thinking – Design, Connect, Synthesize, Apply Concepts, Analyze, Create, Prove
