3 rd Grade Math Briefing Brought to you by your 3 rd grade Math Leaders: Brittney Minnick, Cindy Miller, and Laura Shell

Goals for this session  Get an overview of the Common Core State Standards and what that means for us.  Understand the components of the Pacing Guide and Appendix.  Be able to access resources such as Pearsonsuccessnet.com, OAKS blueprints, and the Instruction Portal  Understand the timing and instructions for giving the Common Assessments  Please place questions in the Parking Lot and we will answer them throughout the session.

Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Four Critical Areas in 3 rd grade 1.Developing understanding of multiplication and division and strategies for multiplication and division within Develop understanding of fractions, especially unit fractions (fractions with numerator 1). 3.Develop understanding of the structure of rectangular arrays and of area. 4.Describing and analyzing two-dimensional shapes.

Critical Areas Questions 1.What are you comfortable teaching? 2.What is new to 3 rd grade? 3.Are you concerned about teaching any area? 4.What are did you notice that we no longer focusing on in 3 rd grade?

Exploring Critical Areas 1.Identify at least one or two important mathematical concepts within this critical area. 2.What do students need to learn prior to these concepts? 3.How do these concepts support learning in later grades?

Content NEW to 3 rd Grade in CCSS Rounding whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100 Adding to 1000 and subtracting from 300 Solving 2-step word problems using all four operations Assessing reasonableness of answer using estimation and mental math Finding the area of a rectangle Using measurement data to make line plots Telling time to the nearest minute and finding elapsed time Using variables in equations 3 x a = 12 Multiplication fact fluency to 100 Measuring liquid volume and mass using metric units

Moving to other grades but still on OAKS for 2 more years Angles Regular polygons Adding and subtracting common fractions with like denominators Congruency and symmetry

Domains and Clusters for 3 rd grade In addition to the Critical Areas, the Domains and Clusters give an overview of 3 rd grade. This paper could be posted in your room or shared with parents at back to school night and/or conferences.

Pacing Guide Teaches Investigations IN ORDER with the exceptions of: unit 6-out of order and unit 8-skipping this unit Includes ALL content that will be tested on OAKS BEFORE the final round of testing. Is chunked by unit not semester.

Pacing Guide Structure Top Row = Domain, Unit, and Time of year Columns – Time allowed and Investigations Unit as well as other resources – Cluster/Standard – Mathematical Practices – Proficiency by Unit – Vocabulary

Formative Assessment Time Complete the worksheet to see how well you understand the structure of the pacing guide and appendix.

District Summative Assessments We have shifted from trimester tests to unit tests which are shorter and more frequent. 2 forms of each test – Only post test is required – Other form may be pre-test or second copy of post test to minimize wandering eyes – Other form is NOT to be used for retakes or formative assessment – Tests are NOT to be sent home

District Summative Assessment Data due dates (not testing windows) – Optimally give test 3-5 days before data due date Data will be entered in Pinnacle – Don’t stress about this now, there will be a work session before the first data due date for people needing help – Default is test grades will not affect student grades (can be changed by teacher so it does affect student grades)
