Grades 3-5 Fractions Pre K – 5 Mathematics Educators Summit PSESD October 25, 2014

Introductions Welcome Greet those at your table

Goals of Workshop To collaborate around mathematics in ways that promote professional development and student achievement: –Doing math tasks together –Discussing math –Reading –Video discussions

Illustrative Mathematics

Tasks aligned to the standards

Activity Use the number lines at your table. Solve this problem without sharing your process with your table partners.

Share-out Explain how you solved the problem to your table partners. Discuss variety of approaches taken.

Use the blank number line on the table. Determine 0 and your unit length. Then solve the problem.

Share-out Explain how you solved the problem to your table partners. Discuss variety of approaches taken. How did someone else’s approach enhance your thinking? What do we learn as professional by engaging in math tasks? What do students learn by engaging in math together?

Illustrative Mathematics

Looking at standards’coherence Place the standards by grade-level as to when they are to be learned. What did you notice? What do we learn as professionals by studying math standards from a number of grades?

Learning Progressions Progression Documents

Learning Progression Read your grade level of the progression document. Put a “!” if there is something you find interesting or powerful. Put a “?” if you wonder about something

Grade-level groups Be prepared to share out from your group. In groups, discuss: –3 things you found interesting –2 questions you have –1 big idea How can you use this process with teachers from your school to advance your understanding of the standards and your practice?

Learning Pathways

Learning Pathways of Numeracy Developed to show the progression of learning from birth through third grade. Aligned to the domains of the Common Core State Standards. References several documents that are used in the WaKIDS assessment and in the early learning world. Helps teachers to know how to address students who are not at grade level by knowing what conceptual and skill development are needed to come to grade level.

Standards for Mathematical Practices Illustrative Mathematics Joey’s Run – SMP 3 – Grade 4 What are teacher routines that help the students develop their mathematical practices?

Teaching Channel Multiplying fractions by whole numbers

Reflections Discuss in your groups what Mathematical Practices you see. What are the conditions of the classroom that allows the development of the practices? How can you use this and other videos as teachers to enhance your knowledge and your practice?

Seedlings Work the task

Process for reviewing an item Private think time Go around Partner collaboration

Connections What prior understanding or experiences are needed to solve this task? What are key mathematical ideas in task? What knowledge was built in prior grades to help students complete the task? What helped to engage you in the problem?
