Five Fundamental Areas Required for Successful Implementation of CCSS
Collaboration Instruction Content Intervention Assessment

How do we teach? Instruction Content Intervention Assessment
Collaboration Instruction Deep conceptual understanding Collaborative lesson design Standards for Mathematical Practice Content Fewer standards with greater depth Understanding, focus, and coherence Common and high-demand tasks Intervention Common required response to intervention framework response Differentiated, targeted, and intensive response to student needs Student equity, access, and support Assessment PLC teaching-assessing-learning cycle In-class formative assessment processes Common assessment instruments as formative learning opportunities

Standards for Mathematical Practice
SMP1 - Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them SMP2 - Reason abstractly and quantitatively SMP3 - Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others SMP4 - Model with mathematics SMP5 - Use appropriate tools strategically SMP6 - Attend to precision SMP7 - Look for and make use of structure SMP8 - Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

What Are The Practice Standards?
Capture the processes and proficiencies that we want our students to possess Not just the knowledge and skills but how our students use the knowledge and skills Describe habits of mind of the mathematically proficient student Carry across all grade levels, K-12

Standards of Mathematical Practice

Unpacking the Standards

Unpacking the Standards
“To increase student achievement by ensuring educators understand specifically what the new standards mean a student must know, understand, and be able to do. (Unpacking) may also be used to facilitate discussion among teachers and curriculum staff and to encourage coherence…(Unpacking), along with on-going professional development is one of many resources used to understand and teach the CCSS.” -North Carolina Dept of Public Instruction Step 1: Target a standard Step 2: Chunk the Main Categories Step 3: Identify all standard components Step 4: Identify the Developmental Progression Step 5: Identify Key Vocabulary Step 6: Add Clarifying Information Stop Think, and Discuss quote: What is the purpose of unpacking the standards?

Why are we Unpacking Standards?
To understand what the standards are asking students to know, understand, and be able to do To make time for professional discussion about the standards To build upon and use common terminology when discussing the implementation of the standards Unpacking is standards is not a substitute document for the Common Core Standards, it is a record of the conversation of those who are involved in the process of digging into the standards.

Step 1 – Target a Standard
What standard(s) do you need to explore further? Find a group of 2-4 teachers who will explore that topic with you.

The final product…. Builds on 1.G.3 Needed for 3.G.2 Partition
Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares Partition circles and rectangles into two equal shares, using the word halves, half of Partition Builds on 1.G.3 Needed for 3.G.2 partition Equal shares rectangle Halves Half of circle Partition a shape into fourths in different ways Pattern Blocks Fraction Bars/Circles Describe Thirds Third of Fourths Fourth of whole Identical 2/2 = one whole The final product…. Recognize Partition circles and rectangles into four equal shares, using the word fourths, fourth of 2.G.3 Describe the whole as two halves, three thirds, four fourths 2.G.3 Recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape 2.G.3 Partition circles and rectangles into three equal shares, using the word thirds, third of 2.G.3 Visual: The goal of “Digging in to the standards” Remind teachers that this is a process to clarify the components of the standard not a guide to replace teaching the standard as a whole!

Step 2: Chunk the Main Categories
Example 2.G.3 Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, thirds, half of, a third of, etc., and describe the whole as two halves, three thirds, four fourths. Recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape. All Standard(s) in the cluster(s) Identify Key Verbs 2.G.3 Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares Describe Recognize Chunk the Main Category Facilitator reviews how to chunk the main categories with 2nd grade standards. All Standards in the cluster (Pink sticky notes) Note that examples, bulleted items, and footnotes are not written during this step. Pull the key verbs – from each pink sticky (put a box around the verb in the standard and write the verb in the box under the pink sticky notes) It is not important that there is one right way, it is meant to be a discussion about what is in the standard Stay true to the words that are in the standard, not about creating your own words Partition

Step 3: Identify all standard components
lt blue Step 3: Identify all standard components Components from CCSS: Analyze nouns and verbs What do students need to do? Include bullets, examples, footnotes, etc. Take standard apart according to the verbs to separate skills within the standard What do the students need to know? Step 3 – Identify all standard components (Examples are included on the next slide)

Example 2.G.3 Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares Partition Describe Recognize Partition circles and rectangles into two equal shares, using the word halves, half of 2.G.3 Partition circles and rectangles into three equal shares, using the word thirds, third of 2.G.3 Partition circles and rectangles into four equal shares, using the word fourths, fourth of 2.G.3 Describe the whole as two halves, three thirds, four fourths 2.G.3 Recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape 2.G.3 Example Separate the standard so that all components can be observed: What are students suppose to know and be able to do? Include examples in the standard lists special cases within the bullets Include footnote information Includes referenced materials Teacher Work (30 min) The teachers work on their own grade level posters (Steps 1-4) Chunk the Main Categories (Pink) Identify Verbs Identify Standard Components (blue) Identify Developmental Progression (Sequence the blue sticky notes in to a developmental scaffold)

Step 4: Identify the Developmental Progression
Questions to consider when looking at the developmental progression of the standards… How would you utilize these chunks (blue) for scaffolding toward mastery of the entire standard? Where would you start when teaching this standard? What is the chunk that demonstrates the highest level of thinking? Review Step 4: Identify the Developmental Progression of the Standards Stop, Think, and Discuss: How could your rearrange and/or sequence the scaffolding of the standard components?

Vertical Alignment Using the progression document(s)
from Ohio Department of Education and CCSS Writing Team: Look to the grade level(s) below to see if the standard is introduced. Look to the grade level(s) above to see if the standard is continued. Code each standard on the poster with: builds on introduced needed for or mastered and the grade level to which the standard aligns. Example on the next slide

Introduced? Mastered? Needed for? Builds on?
2.G.3 Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares Partition Describe Recognize Recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape 2.G.3 Partition circles and rectangles into two equal shares, using the word halves, half of 2.G.3 Partition circles and rectangles into three equal shares, using the word thirds, third of 2.G.3 Partition circles and rectangles into four equal shares, using the word fourths, fourth of 2.G.3 Describe the whole as two halves, three thirds, four fourths 2.G.3 Goal: We are using progressions document to guide our vertical alignment. It will help us see where the standard came from and where it is going. What standards are introduced? What standards need to be mastered before the students go to the next grade level? What standards are needed for the students to be successful in the following grade level? What standards build on the previous grade level? When observing the vertical alignment, use the following resources: Posters Progressions Documents Standards Teacher Work Time: Vertical Alignment (20 minutes) Stop, Think, and Discuss: What ah-has do you have after looking at the vertical alignment of your standards? Introduced? Mastered? Needed for? Builds on? Builds on 1.G.3 Needed for 3.G.2

Step 5: Identify Key Vocabulary
Identify content vocabulary directly from the standard. Identify additional vocabulary students will need to know to meet the standard. Green sticky notes green

The Number System

The standards stress not only procedural skill but also conceptual understanding, to make sure students are learning and absorbing the critical information they need to succeed at higher levels – rather than the current practices by which many students learn enough to get by on the next test, but forget it shortly thereafter, only to review again the following year. (CCSSI, 2012)

Mathematics consists of pieces that make sense; they are not just independent manipulation/skills to be practiced and memorized – as perceived by many students. These individual pieces progress through different grades (in organized structures we called “flows”) and can/should be unified together into a coherent whole. Jason Zimba, Bill McCallum

Mathematical Fluency

Fluency The word fluent is used in the Standards to mean fast and accurate. Fluency in each grade involves a mixture of just knowing some answers from patterns (e.g., “adding 0 yields the same number”), and knowing some answers from the use of strategies. Progressions for the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics

Fluency Fluent in the standards means “fast and accurate.” It might also help to think of fluency as meaning more or less the same as when someone is said to be fluent in a foreign language. To be fluent is to flow; fluent isn’t halting, stumbling, or reversing oneself. Jason Zimba

Integers Most of the numbers you have worked with in math class this year have been greater than or equal to zero. However, numbers less than zero can provide important information. Where have you seen numbers less than zero outside of school?

7NS - Understanding 7.NS.1b – Understand p + q as the number located a distance |q| from p, in the positive or negative direction depending on whether q is positive or negative. 7.NS.1c – Understand subtraction of rational numbers as adding the additive inverse, p – q = p + (–q). 7.NS.2a – Understand that multiplication is extended from fractions to rational numbers by requiring that operations continue to satisfy the properties of operations, particularly the distributive property, leading to products such as (–1)(–1) = 1 and the rules for multiplying signed numbers. 7.NS.2b – Understand that integers can be divided, provided that the divisor is not zero, and every quotient of integers (with nonzero divisor) is a rational number.

Fractions Difficulty with learning fractions is pervasive and is an obstacle to further progress in mathematics and other domains dependent on mathematics, including algebra. It has also been linked to difficulties in adulthood, such as failure to understand medication regimens. National Mathematics Panel Report, 2008

Fractions “Students who are asked to practice the algorithm over and over…stop thinking. They sacrifice the relationships in order to treat the numbers simply as digits.” Imm, Fosnot, Uittenbogaard (2012)

Kim and Bob ran equally fast around a track. Kim started first. When she had run 9 laps, Bob had run 3 laps. When Bob had run 15 laps, how many laps had Kim run? Explain your reasoning.

Solving Proportions Solve Kanold, p. 94 If two pounds of beans cost $5, how much will 15 pounds of beans cost? The traditional method of creating and solving proportions by using cross- multiplication is de- emphasized (in fact it is not mentioned in the CCSS) because it obscures the proportional relationship between quantities in a given problem situation.

Ratios and Proportional Relationships Progression, pages 6-7
Although it is traditional to move students quickly to solving proportions by setting up an equation, the Standards do not require this method in Grade 6. There are a number of strategies for solving problems that involve ratios. As students become familiar with relationships among equivalent ratios, their strategies become increasingly abbreviated and efficient.

6.RP.3 Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations. Make tables of equivalent ratios relating quantities with whole-number measurements, find missing values in the tables, and plot the pairs of values on the coordinate plane. Use tables to compare ratios. Solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed. Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100; solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percent. Use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities.

The Mystery Bags Game Solving Equations

There once was a king who loved to watch his many bags of gold.
The Mystery Bags Game There once was a king who loved to watch his many bags of gold.

But it can get very boring watching gold all day, so he had the court jester make up games for him to pass the time. The game the king loves best is the Mystery Bags game.

First, the jester takes one or more empty bags and fills each bag with the same amount of gold. These bags are called the “mystery bags.”

Next, the jester digs into his collection of lead weights
Next, the jester digs into his collection of lead weights. He takes out his pan balance and places some combination of mystery bags and lead weights on the two pans so that the sides balance. The game is to figure out the weight of each mystery bag.

Your Task The game sound rather easy, but it can get very difficult for the king. See if you can win the mystery bags game in the various situations described on your worksheet by figuring out how much gold there is in each mystery bag. Explain how you know you are correct. You may want to draw diagrams to show what’s going on.

Write an equation to represent this situation
Use your methods from Problem 3.2 to find the number of gold coins in each pouch Write down a similar method using the equation that represents this situation

Question 1 There are 3 mystery bags on one side of the balance and 51 ounces of lead weights on the other side. 51 oz.

2 There are 1 mystery bag and 42 ounces of weights on one side, and 100 ounces of weights on the other side.

3 There are 8 mystery bags and 10 ounces of weights on one side, and 90 ounces of weights on the other side.

4 There are 3 mystery bags and 29 ounces of weights on one side, and 4 mystery bags on the other side.

5 There are 11 mystery bags and 65 ounces of weights on one side, and 4 mystery bags and 100 ounces of weights on the other side.

6 There are 6 mystery bags and 13 ounces of weights on one side, and 6 mystery bags and 14 ounces of weights on the other side. (The jester could get in a lot of trouble for this one!)

7 There are 15 mystery bags and 7 ounces of weights on both sides. (At first the king thought this one was easy, but then he found it to be incredibly hard.)

8 The king wants to be able to win easily all of the time, without calling you in. Therefore, your final task in this assignment is to describe in words a procedure by which the king can find out how much is in a mystery bag in any situation.

7.EE.4 – Use variables to represent quantities in real-world or mathematical problems, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities.

Mathematics Assessment Project
Tools for formative and summative assessment that make knowledge and reasoning visible, and help teachers to guide students in how to improve, and monitor their progress. These tools comprise: Classroom Challenges: lessons for formative assessment, some focused on developing math concepts, others on non-routine problem solving. Professional Development Modules: to help teachers with the new pedagogical challenges that formative assessment presents. Summative Assessment Task Collection: to illustrate the range of performance goals required by CCSSM. Prototype Summative Tests: designed to help teachers and students monitor their progress, these tests provide a model for examinations that may replace or complement current US tests.

Create a Survey Question Population Sample group

Exit Ticket In a poll of Mrs. Simpson’s math class, 67% of the students say that math is their favorite academic subject. The editor of the school paper is in the class, and he wants to write an article for the paper saying that math is the most popular subject at the school. Explain why this is not a valid conclusion, and suggest a way to gather better data to determine what subject is most popular.

Illustrative Mathematics
Illustrative Mathematics provides guidance to states, assessment consortia, testing companies, and curriculum developers by illustrating the range and types of mathematical work that students experience in a faithful implementation of the Common Core State Standards, and by publishing other tools that support implementation of the standards.
