1. Chattahoochee/Northview/Johns Creek Cluster Meeting March 1, 2012 Presented by Dr. Pamela Seda, Director of Secondary Mathematics and Crystal Hilton, High School Math Support Specialist

2. Fewer, higher, and clearer academic standards. Aligned with college and work expectations. Based on current educational research and evidence. Benchmarked to high-performing countries and states. Rigorous standards emphasizing skill and application of content. Video

3. Content Standards Standards for Mathematical Practice Both types of standards will be assessed by the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) in the year 2014- 2015 PARCC assessments will have computer- enhanced performance based items.

5. The Standards for Mathematical Practice are habits of mind that teachers should seek to develop in their students. They describe ways in which mathematically proficient students should engage with the subject matter throughout the elementary, middle and high school years.

6. 1. Make sense of complex 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. (CCSS, 2010)

7. How will changing to the Common Core Georgia Performance Standards improve student achievement? It wont if instruction doesnt change!

8. Can you hear me now? Verizon customer (George) was travelling to Canada and asked the cost for downloading data Verizon rep said it would be.002 cents per kilobyte How much should George be charged for downloading 35,893 kilobytes of data?

9. Verizon Math Fail Video

10. Shallow knowledge does not transfer IF I see $. THEN say cents $.01 is read as one cent The rate is point oh oh two per kilobyte cents Whats the Problem?

11. GPS M6A1. Students will understand the concept of ratio and use it to represent quantitative relationships. CCGPS MCC.6.RP.1 Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. MCC.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. MCC.6.RP.3d Use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities.

MCC.6.RP.3d Use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities.

13. Tape Diagrams Tape diagrams are best used when the two quantities have the same units. They can be used to solve problems and also to highlight the multiplicative relationship between the quantities.

14. 1. Make sense of complex problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. (CCSS, 2010)

15. Our instructional framework will not change. We will still use the 7-steps of direct instruction: 1.Communication of Learning Intentions 2.Communication of Success Criteria 3.Building Commitment and Engagement 4.Teacher Presentation 5.Guided Practice 6.Closure 7.Independent Practice

17. Quality Core Curriculum (QCC) Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) Common Core Georgia Performance Standards (CCGPS Grade QCC (prior to Fall 2008) Integrated GPS (2008 – 2011) Traditional (2011-2012) Common Core (beginning 2012-2013) 9 th Algebra I Integrated Advanced Algebra GPS Algebra CCGPS Coordinate Algebra 10 th Geometry Integrated Geometry GPS Geometry CCGPS Analytic Geometry 11 th Algebra 2 Integrated Algebra 2 GPS Advanced Algebra CCGPS Advanced Algebra 12 th Advanced Algebra with Trigonometry Integrated Trigonometry GPS Pre-Calculus CCGPS Pre- Calculus

18. Only grades K – 9 for 2012 – 2013 school year Students who began on GPS will continue on GPS Students who fail GPS Algebra, may take CCGPS Coordinate Algebra next year. Not adopting textbooks right away (textbook companies are still in the process of developing materials aligned to Common Core) Teacher and parents will be provided electronic resources that clearly define student learning targets. resources
