1 Superintendent’s Parent Advisory Committee Meeting CCSS Update – Focus on Math Presented by: Mark Cerutti, Jerrilyn Ewing, LaRae Blomquist, and Mark Freathy October 3, 2013

2 Outcomes: Share significant shifts in math Identify what you can do to help your child at home Provide CCSS parent resources

3 What operation comes between the whole number and the fraction? Ponder this! Write an expression that shows this relationship. Convince your partner that this is true. Create a math scenario that uses this number.

4 EGUSD Math Plan 2013-2014 K-6 Goals: Full implementation of CCSS using “GoMath” curriculum. 7-8 Goals: Implementation of Standards for Mathematical Practices. Field test GoMath at 6 middle schools. 9-12 Goals: Implementation of Standards for Mathematical Practices.

5 Three Tenets of the Common Core “Rigor” “Focus” “Coherence”

6 Goals of the EGUSD Math Plan 2013-2014 Support classroom instruction that promotes “rigor” as defined in CCSS. Procedural Fluency Conceptual Understanding Application & Modeling

7 Goals of the EGUSD Math Plan 2013-2014 Support classroom instruction that promotes “focus” as defined in CCSS. The curriculum must include adequate depth. (see rigor) Focus refers to grade level standards or “Horizontal Alignment.” Allows teachers to spend more time on fewer standards. Allow time for the kinds of rich classroom discussion and interaction that support the Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMP) and develop students’ broader mathematical understanding

8 Goals of the EGUSD Math Plan 2013-2014 Support classroom instruction that promotes “coherence” as defined in CCSS. The curriculum has logical progressions from less sophisticated topics to more sophisticated ones. Coherence refers to how the standards are organized across grade levels or “Vertical Alignment.” Teachers understand standards by topics that include at least a grade level above and below their current teaching assignment.

9 Where Have We Been? 9 EGUSD Instructional Focus in 2011-2013 Math Plan Use Multiple Representations/Side by Side Instructional model Develop fractional/relational thinking Focus on Number Sense: Students build mathematical intuition and flexibility. Develop Language Rich Classrooms What’s new for 2013-2014?

10 Components of the EGUSD Math Plan 2013-2014 What’s new for 2013-2014? Implement the Standards for Mathematical Practice Implement the “Formative Assessment Cycle” Start creating SMARTER Balanced type assessment questions

11 What can parents do to help with math work at home? Ask your child: How did you do that? How do you know that is right? Is there another way you can do that? More prompting questions: What do you see? What do you know? What do you need to know? Can you draw a picture of that? What will you specifically ask your teacher tomorrow?

12 What do you want to know? In order to provide you with specific information that you want to know, please write your question(s) on the index card that we will collect.
