Looking beyond the “I” in the rush to get our job done Based on the work of Susan Dellinger, Ph.D.

TRIANGLE BOX RECTANGLE CIRCLE SQUIGGLE Which Shape Best Describes You as a Person?

Box’s Motto If you want a job done right……. DO IT YOURSELF

Triangle’s Motto I did it my way…….. And you will do it my way, too

Rectangle’s Motto I know you think that what I said was what I meant, but are you sure that what I meant was what I said?

Circle’s Motto Forget your troubles and just get happy. I’m gonna chase all your cares away.

The Squiggle’s Motto If it feels good, do it!

How Many Picked the Right Shape? 86% pick right the first time Can you identify with 2 shapes? Rectangles and squiggles may be all 5 shapes Knowing your shape and others is described by Dr. Dellinger as Flexing

Each of you embodies every shape Use it to your advantage!

Tribal Counting   

Seize + jingle = Seize + drift = Romp – seize= Romp – nudge = Tribal addition and subtraction

We were counting… (sort of) Why can’t we quickly add and subtract? How do we know when students are struggling in math? What’s Happening? Why is this difficult?

Lost in the Sea of Assessment

Why are we using these assessments?

Assessing Math Concepts It is not enough to know if the child can get right answers. We need to know what mathematics the child knows and understands. ©Math Perspectives Teacher Development Center, Bellingham, WA

Assessing Math Concepts is: A cohesive look at the development of children’s understanding of core math concepts. ©Math Perspectives Teacher Development Center, Bellingham, WA

Counting, Comparing & Pattern Addition & Subtraction The assessments lead you to resources that will help provide appropriate instruction for each child. ©Math Perspectives Teacher Development Center, Bellingham, WA AMC Assessments Inform instruction Documents growth Uncover the child’s edge of understanding Help us understand how children construct mathematical understandings

Disagree Agree Take a Stand Listen to the statement. Then, decide if you agree or disagree with the statement and move to the corresponding side of the room. Be prepared to defend your stance. “Far too many children are never given the opportunity to learn that mathematics is a sense-making process. For them, the study of mathematics requires memorizing rules and procedures in order to complete tasks and to get right answers. “

Number Arrangements Assessment The goal of number arrangements is to recognize the parts of numbers and to combine the parts of numbers without counting all.

How Children Learn Number Concepts Watch Harper Harper Read the selection: Combining Parts of Numbers When finished, silently reflect about Harper. Where does Harper fall within these critical learning phases?

Combination Trains Assessment Learning Number Combinations Children need to see the basic facts as a set of interrelated concepts. Children need to be able to look for relationships between the facts they know and other larger, more complex numbers or problems. Emphasis needs to be on learning number composition and decomposition and number relationships – not just on getting the right answers. Common Core Alignment: 1.OA.3; 1.OA.5; 1.OA.6

Let’s Do Some Math: A man buys a horse for 50 dollars. Decides he wants to sell his horse later and gets 60 dollars. He then decides to buy it back again and paid 70 dollars. However, he could no longer keep it and he sold it for 80 dollars. Did he make money? lose money? or break even? Explain why.

“If the standards for mathematical practices are not in place, well then, you are not really using the common core.” -Phil Daro, Common Core author- Mathematics 1. Make sense of 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.

Hiding Assessment Learning to Decompose Numbers To subtract children need to know the parts of numbers and see the relationship between composition and decomposition. Children must recognize that one number is contained within another number. Children must understand that the number stays the same even when it is broken apart and recombined in various ways. Common Core Alignment: 1.OA.3, 1.OA.4, 1.OA.5, 1.OA.6

Hiding Assessment Libby Part 1 – Hiding with Counters Part 2 – Hiding without Counters Note: Go to Part 2 after you have finished Part 1. Assess only the numbers the student knew (Ready to Apply); this is confirm student can identify parts of numbers mentally and are flexible in their thinking about numbers. Part 3 – Log into demo mode and practice the Hiding Assessment with a partner.

Let’s Discuss Briefly discuss how the hiding assessment ties in with the math program you already using. Discuss : 1. How does the Hiding Assessment connect to specific units in Investigations? 2. How does the Hiding Assessment correlate to the Common Core? 3. How can the Hiding Assessment assist in the teaching of word problems? 4. How does the Hiding Assessment correlate to the mathematical practice?

Disagree Agree Take a Stand Listen to the statement. Then, decide if you agree or disagree with the statement and move to the corresponding side of the room. Be prepared to defend your stance. Sometimes, indicators that reveal a child’s understanding are overlooked because the child appears to know the mathematics. Inaccurate assumptions are made that more is comprehended than is the case.

If a child does not appear to understand a concept, walking them through the proper steps and having them repeat the process over and over will help build the foundational skills needed to increase understanding.

Ten Frames Assessment Learning about Numbers as One Ten and Some More Understanding that numbers are made up of “ten and some ones” is a foundational skill students must learn to work with larger numbers. To solve more challenging problems student must move beyond counting on strategies and be able to solve problems by using relationships and understanding the underlying structure of numbers to 20. Common Core Alignment: 1.OA.3 & 1.NBT.2

Tens Frame Assessment

What are we trying to determine with this assessment? Can the student combine a ten and some ones without counting and can the student combine numbers by making a ten and leftover ones? Can the student decompose a teen number into a ten and leftovers and can the student subtract by breaking up a number in order to get to ten, and then subtract what is left from 10? Now it’s your turn to practice the assessment with a partner! Ten Frames Assessment

Today’s Agenda Let’s Do Some Math: Plus-One and Minus-One Game/Article Grouping Tens Video, Discussion, Practice Assessment 11:30- 12:30 Lunch Looking At Data Articles and Stations Management/Organization Closing

Let’s do some math! Plus-One and Minus-One Game Helps to teach children a particular process for forming and counting groups. Read over the game directions, silently to yourself. How does this activity help you to see how your students learn? What could you do to better help your struggling students?

Children need to learn that numbers to 100 are composed of groups of tens and ones. Children must do more than label the digits in a number – they must understand that numbers are organized into groups of tens and ones. Children must recognize that a ten is both one ten and ten ones. This level of thinking is difficult for young children. CC Alignment: 1. NBT.2; 1. NBT.4; 1. NBT.5; 1. NBT.6 Grouping Tens Assessment Learning about Numbers as Tens and Ones

Grouping Tens Assessment: Let’s look at Reggie

What are we trying to determine with this assessment? Can the student decompose numbers to 20 into tens and ones, by showing the value of the 1 in the tens place in teen numbers and by telling the number leftover when ten is removed from the teen number? Can the student tell how many in a quantity if the number of tens and ones is known and if the student can add and take away ten without counting? Can the student add and take away groups of ten to 2-digit numbers? Log into demo mode and practice Grouping Tens with a partner. Grouping Tens Assessment

How do I find appropriate activities according to my data? Read pages 188 – 194 in your blue book called “Guidelines for Providing Appropriate Experiences”.

Where is Reggie? Use your blue book starting on page 188. What activities would you pull for Reggie and why? Use Developing Number Concepts books to help you.

Understanding Regrouping: The Process and the Patterns Begin reading at the Goals paragraph. How does this help narrow your thinking when making informal observations of students in stations? As you participate in the activities think back to what you saw your students do this year. How can you use this resource in your classroom?

Disagree Agree Take a Stand Listen to the statement. Then, decide if you agree or disagree with the statement and move to the corresponding side of the room. Be prepared to defend your stance. If children are to be successful in the study of mathematics throughout their schooling, it is vital that the mathematics they learn be meaningful to them. It is only then that they can build on these early experiences.

Disagree Agree Take a Stand Listen to the statement. Then, decide if you agree or disagree with the statement and move to the corresponding side of the room. Be prepared to defend your stance. When children are focused on the procedures rather than the number relationships, they are more equipped to judge the reasonableness of their answer.
