 Take a few minutes to think about the following questions and write your response on your notes page. You may want to browse through the standards on  What connections are you making between the 2008 and Common Core Standards for Grade 8?  How might instruction look different with these new standards?

 Stand up  Stretch  See you in 10 minutes

“The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise that mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students. These practices rest on important “processes and proficiencies” with longstanding importance in mathematics education.” (CCSS, 2010)

cAI&list=PLD7F4C7DE7CB3D2E6  As you watch the video, think about the following two questions:  How do the math practices support student learning?  How will the math practices support students as they move beyond middle school and high school?

Standards for Mathematical PracticeAs a mathematician, Make sense and persevere in solving problems.I can try many times to understand and solve problems even when they are challenging. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.I can show what a math problem means using numbers and symbols. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. I can explain how I solved a problem and discuss other student’s strategies too. Model with mathematics.I can use what I know to solve real-world math problems. Use appropriate tools strategically.I can choose math tools and objects to help me solve a problem. Attend to precision.I can solve problems accurately and efficiently. I can use correct math vocabulary, symbols, and labels when I explain how I solved a problem. Look for and make use of structures.I can look for and use patterns to help me solve math problems. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. I can look for and use shortcuts in my work to solve similar types of problems.

 Take out the “Student Look-Fors” within the second tab of your binder

 While you watch the video:  Script the student actions What are they saying? What are they doing?  Look at the Student Look-Fors page  Choose a specific math practice to focus on during the video  Look for evidence of students engaging in your specific mathematical practice  Let’s watch the video again  What evidence showed students engaging in a math practice?  What did the teacher do to promote student engagement in the content and math practices?

 Take a few minutes to think about the following questions and write your response on the notes page:  Which math practice(s) are your students already engaged in during a math lesson or unit?  How do we get students to engage in these practices if they are not already?

A student made this conjecture about reflections on an x-y coordinate plane. “When a polygon is reflected over the y-axis, the x- coordinates of the corresponding vertices of the polygon and its image are opposite, but the y- coordinates are the same.” Develop a chain of reasoning to justify or refute the conjecture. You must demonstrate that the conjecture is always true or that there is at least one example in which the conjecture is not true. You may include one or more graphs in your response.

 When a polygon is reflected over the y-axis, each vertex of the reflected polygon will end up on the opposite side of the y-axis but the same distance from the y-axis.  So, the x-coordinates of the vertices will change from positive to negative or negative to positive, but the absolute value of the number will stay the same, so the x-coordinates of the corresponding vertices of the polygon and its image are opposites.  Since the polygon is being reflected over the y-axis, the image is in a different place horizontally but it does not move up or down, which means the y- coordinates of the vertices of the image will be the same as the y-coordinates of the corresponding vertices of the original polygon.  As an example, look at the graph below, and notice that the x-coordinates of the corresponding vertices of the polygon and its image are opposites but the y- coordinates are the same. This means the conjecture is correct.

 Develop understanding of the progression of the Geometry domain and the cluster of standards being aligned for the first unit to be implemented  Connect the Geometry progression to the first CCSS-M aligned unit that will be taught after the training  Discuss the implementation and feedback plan for the first unit to be aligned with the CCSS-M
