© 2012 Common Core, Inc. All rights reserved. commoncore.org NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM A Story of Units Think of a sequence of problems. Step 1: Choose 1 of the problems: , 17 × 25, or the missing angle problem. Step 2: Take 3 minutes to think of a sequence of few related math problems that would lead like a “ladder” to your chosen problem. Step 3: Share your sequence of problems with a partner or larger group. Step 4: Reflect on what you did to develop your sequence.

Read, “Two Beliefs.” Use the following protocol: “Save the last word for me” 1.Put a star to mark a statement from the reading that stands out to you for whatever reason. 2.One member reads a starred statement. 3.The members of the triad (not the writer) comment on the statement. 4.Lastly, the person who chose the statement shares why the statement was impactful. 5.Repeat the process with the other members of the group.

Analyze incorrect student work and define the error by asking additional questions. Find and analyze coherent teaching sequences within A Story of Units to address student knowledge gaps. Teach Plan Analyze Assess Use the coherence of A Story of Units to plan an extended teaching sequence for intervention. Clarify a continuous cycle which allows us to unify assessment, analysis, planning, and teaching.

© 2012 Common Core, Inc. All rights reserved. commoncore.org NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM A Story of Units Agenda Analyze student work using a protocol based on the Mathematical Practices. Define the student error. Study and analyze foundational teaching sequences in A Story of Units relevant to the assessment’s objective. Derive an extended teaching sequence to bridge the gap between the student’s current level and the objective. Make an illustrated poster to share the sequence. Create “second chance” assessment questions. Professional Reading and Closure.

Another way of asking the same question: What are the “rungs” in the “ladder” to the objective targeted by the assessment question? Does the student work reflect the work of the the module? What might that tell us about the student’s learning experience?
