Dan Meyer: Math Class Needs a Makeover
Dan Meyer’s is a high school math teacher. I believe this video is helpful in showing WHAT this learning looks like in the classroom. He does not address content/curriculum development specifically, …. he models high student engagement, and critical thinking in authentic learning situations. He also shares how disciplines can work collaboratively.

PARCC: Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career
What does it mean? “Students are on-track or ready for college and careers.” Solve problems involving the major content for their grade level with connections to practices Solve problems involving the additional and supporting content for their grade level with connections to practices Express mathematical reasoning by constructing mathematical arguments and critiques Use the modeling practice to solve real world problems Demonstrate fluency in areas set forth in the Standards for Content in grades 3-6

Standards of Mathematical Practices (MP)
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Model with mathematics. Use appropriate tools strategically. Attend to precision. Look for and make use of structure. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others Model with mathematics. WHAT’S NEW? You might think about these are you do the next activity Attend to precision 22

Why Common Core State Standards?
Before Common Core State Standards we had standards, but rarely did we have standards-based instruction. Long lists of broad, vague statements Mysterious assessments Coverage mentality Focused on teacher behaviors – “the inputs” 28

Principles of the CCSS…
FEWER CLEARER HIGHER Aligned to requirements for College and Career Readiness Based on evidence Honest about time 29

The CCSS Difference: Grade 8 Mathematics
(2004) Before NJCCCS: Understand and apply the Pythagorean Theorem. (2010) After CCSS Explain a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side lengths in right triangles in real-world and mathematical problems in two and three dimensions. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between two points in a coordinate system. 30

Implications of the CCSS on WHAT and HOW to teach…
What are the Critical Shifts to Consider? 32

COMMON CORE SHIFTS in ASSESSMENTS
Shift 1: Focus Priority standards = focus of the assessments. Other standards deemphasized. Shift 2: Coherence Assessments will reflect the progression of content and concepts as depicted in the standards across grade levels. Shift 3: Fluency It will be assumed students possess required fluencies through grade 8; as such, students will not be allowed to use calculators in grades 3-5. Students will be allowed to use four-function calculators with a square root key or scientific calculators in grade 6 and scientific calculators in grades 7-8.

CC SHIFTS in ASSESSMENTS continued ….
Shift 4: Deep Understanding Each standard will be assessed from multiple perspectives, while not veering from the primary target of measurement for the standard. Shift 5: Application Shift 6: Dual Intensity Students will be expected to know grade-level mathematical content with fluency and to know which mathematical concepts to employ to solve real-world mathematics problems.

See the Rigor in Grade-3 Fractions on a Number Line
* a BIG change * a move away from the circular pie to understanding fractions on a number line. A major topic focus in 3rd grade is fractions. This problem causes students to truly understand fractions and not just memorize patterns.

See Rigor in Grade 6: Ratios
* a BIG change * Students will have online tools to use that simulate hands-on tools Ratios is one of the major topics of focus for 6th grade. This is not your typical ratio problem. Students must build upon their solid knowledge of fractions, established primarily in 3rd grade, and apply it to what they have learned about ratios. This problem not only demonstrates Shift 1, focus where the standards focus, but also Shift 2 – Coherence within and across grade levels. PARCC - Grade-6 Slider Ruler: type-I

Part B Describe Write Compare
Students must be able to apply the skills used to solve Part A to create a new example and must be able to explain. General note: Students are expected to recognize and compare functions seen within a scenario, as an algebraic equation, a table, or graph.

Application Students can use appropriate concepts and procedures for application even when not prompted to do so.. Teachers provide opportunities at all grade levels for students to apply math concepts in “real world” situations, recognizing this means different things in K-5, 6-8, and HS. Teachers in content areas outside of math, particularly science, ensure that students are using grade-level-appropriate math to make meaning of and access science content. Using mathematics in problem solving contexts is the third leg of the stool supporting the learning that is going on in the math classroom. This is the “why we learn math” piece, right? We learn it so we can apply it in situations that require mathematical knowledge. There are requirements for application all the way throughout the grades in the CCSS. {read slide} But again, we can’t just focus solely on application—we need also to give students opportunities to gain deep insight into the mathematical concepts they are using and also develop fluency with the procedures that will be applied in these situations. The problem-solving aspect of application is what’s at stake here—if we attempt this with a lack of conceptual knowledge and procedural fluency, the problem just becomes three times harder. At the same time, we don’t want to save all the application for the end of the learning progression. Application can be motivational and interesting, and there is a need for students at all levels to connect the mathematics they are learning to the world around them.

HS Teachers outside of math use grade-level-appropriate math This is a high school prototype, which asks students to connect math and science, demonstrates beautifully the application component of Shift 3. This problem has 4 parts, the last of which asks students to explain their thinking in detail and connect it to prior learning.

Part B In Part B of the same problem, students must move the tiles to write a recursive definition using the chart at the top.

Part C In Part C, students must recognize statements that are true after applying the formula.

Part D We must not teach students to take tests but rather prepare them to solve problems creating and explaining their own solutions. FROM Kimberley Harrington, Director of Standards, NJ Department of Education

In “Casey at the Bat,” Casey strikes out. Describe a time when you failed at something. In “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” Dr. King discusses nonviolent protest. Discuss, in writing, a time when you wanted to fight against something that you felt was unfair. In “The Gettysburg Address” Lincoln says the nation is dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Why is equality an important value to promote? What makes Casey’s experiences at bat humorous? What can you infer from King’s letter about the letter that he received? “The Gettysburg Address” mentions the year According to Lincoln’s speech, why is this year significant to the events described in the speech? Examples of questions that take students outside and inside the text. Text-dependent questions require students to pay attention to the text at hand and to draw evidence from that text. What does this look like in the classroom? Teachers insist that classroom experiences stay deeply connected to the text on the page and that students develop habits for making evidentiary argument both in conversation, as well as in writing to assess comprehension of a text. Students have rich and rigorous conversations and develop writing that are dependent on a common text.

Algebra-II Sample academic language in a basic statistics task: measure of central tendency, skewed, mean, median, mode, outlier, bimodal, quartiles, box-and-whisker plot, percentile, random sample, … New to Pre-Algebra, Algebra I or II 101

Regular Practice with Complex Text and
its Academic Language (“Adult Language”) Example: Phone company ‘A’ charges an initiation fee plus a charge per minute. The cost of using 300 minutes (plus initiation fee) is $25 and the cost of 700 minutes (plus initiation fee) is $33. Write an equation to represent the cost. What is the initiation fee? What is the cost per minute? Is this company’s offer better than the new phone company ‘B’s? Explain or compare with charts and graphs Pre-Algebra, Algebra Or “base salary” plus “commission” – similar vocab. students rarely know 102

Adjusting Math Language to the CCSS
Old habit to eliminate: Defining equality as “same as.” The problem: This is mathematically incorrect and leads to misconceptions. (2)(2) is equivalent to √16 New habit to adopt: Defining equality as “same value as.” • Old habit to eliminate: “Addition makes things get bigger.” The problem: When negative numbers are introduced, the old habit has to be debugged. (-4) + (-5) New habit to adopt: Addition is about combining. • Old habit to eliminate: “Subtraction makes things get smaller.” The problem: As with addition, negative numbers make this wrong. New habit to adopt: Subtraction is about difference. (-4) - (-8) Kappan article re elementary mathematics and ‘habits to change.’ OTHER PROBLEMS: focus on interesting students/getting them moving/ motivated … but … improper math habits and language! Relate TV video Excellent Teaching (saw Nov. 28, 2013) … model classroom experiences … mid school … students survey time classmates spent each day (1-week) using diff. forms of technology, reading, etc. … Teacher ‘told them’ just put minutes over 60 and get decimal number … then she read decimal number as “point 45” … no discussion of estimated and comparing to ‘half,’ … no discussion of what “point 45” really meant … Students mimicked the teacher’s terminology. 103

Regular Practice With Complex Text and its Academic Language: Why?
Gap between complexity of college and high school texts is huge. What students can read, in terms of complexity is greatest predictor of success in college (ACT study). Too many students are reading at too low a level. 104

What are the Features of Complex Text?
Subtle and/or frequent transitions Multiple and/or subtle themes and purposes Density of information Unfamiliar settings, topics or events Lack of repetition, overlap or similarity in words and sentences Complex sentences 105

What are the Features of Complex Text? (cont.)
Uncommon vocabulary Lack of words, sentences or paragraphs that review or pull things together for the student Longer paragraphs Any text structure which is less narrative and/or mixes structures 106

The Standards are NOT new names for old ways of doing things…

NOT … A different topic every day
Every topic/concept treated as equally important Elementary students dipping into advanced topics at the expense of mastering fundamentals Infinitesimal advance in each grade; endless review Incoherence and illogic – bizarre associations, or lacking a thread 108 108

Modifications Accommodations NOT permitted
Modifications involve changes in the conditions under which a student takes an assessment that result in unacceptable changes to the test itself, or what the test measures (e.g., reducing or changing expectations for students) and are therefore not permitted on PARCC assessments. Examples of modifications that will result in invalidated results on PARCC include: Requiring a student to be assessed on less content matter than other students because he has been taught less material; Reducing the scope of assessments so a student needs to complete only a limited number of problems or items;

Modifying the complexity of assessments to make them easier (e. g
Modifying the complexity of assessments to make them easier (e.g., deleting half of the response choices on a multiple-choice test so that a student selects from two options instead of four); Giving hints, clues, or other coaching that directs the student to correct responses on assignments and tests; Adults defining vocabulary on the test or explaining test items; Allowing the student to complete an assessment of English language arts in a language other than English; and Using dictionaries that provide definitions (rather than an acceptable word-to-word dual-language dictionary).

Accountability: What We Know Now! 134

Distinguished Command
Results Types… Proficiency (PLDs) On-Track-to-College and Career Readiness (CCRDs) Growth Data Performance Level Descriptors (PLDs) Performance Level Description Level 5* Distinguished Command Level 4* Strong Command Level 3 Moderate Command Level 2 Partial Command Level 1 Minimal Command *Achieved CCR Performance Threshold 135

What does “distinguished” (Level 5) mean?
“Students performing at this level demonstrate a distinguished command of the knowledge, skills, and practices embodied by the Common Core State Standards for English language arts/literacy assessed at grade 11. They are academically well prepared to engage successfully in entry-level, credit-bearing courses in College English Composition, Literature, and technical courses requiring college-level reading and writing. Students performing at this level are exempt from having to take and pass placement tests in two- and four-year public institutions of higher education designed to determine whether they are academically prepared for such courses without need for remediation.” Acuplacer test (Typical Community College placement test) no need to be taken if student “passes” the PARCC test in h.s. 136

What does it mean to be CCR? (Level-4)
“Students who earn a PARCC College- and Career-Ready Determination by performing at Level 4 in mathematics and enroll in College Algebra, Introductory College Statistics, and technical courses requiring an equivalent level of mathematics have approximately a probability of earning college credit by attaining at least a grade of C or its equivalent in those courses.” 137

What does it mean to be CCR? (cont.)
Will be used as a benchmark against which the CCR cut score on the PARCC assessments will be validated through empirical research. WHY - a “C” is the minimum grade needed to earn credit for a course WHY - a reasonably high standard but not unattainable. WHY - similar to the criteria used by ACT, WHY - other important CCR skills will not be measured by PARCC assessments. 138

What are the cut scores for each level?
As/PARCC, “the vendor selected through the RFP will also work with state leaders, educators and eternal experts to determine the cut scores to establish the five PARCC Performance levels for each grade-level assessment. RFP for “Operational Assessment” Vendor proposals were due by Dec. 11, 2013.

PARCC Timeline… NJ Spotlight (Nov. 20, 2013)
For the first time since 1989, New Jersey will next year suspend its requirement that high school graduates pass a state test in language arts and math to receive their diplomas. (No HSPA) But that doesn't mean there will be fewer tests, just that they'll be used for different purposes. For instance, current eighth, ninth, and 10th graders will be tested in language arts and math now in three separate tests, and while passing the exams will not be required for graduation, the scores will be included in a student’s permanent transcript. ( school year) 143

HIGHER ED FOCUS June 16-17, 2014 convening The focus will be on policy associated with student scores that signal on track; that signal a student is ready for entry level, college-bearing credit classes.
