3. Socio-Mathematical Norms
Invest in individual think time
Be willing to share and explain your thinking /ideas with a partner and/or whole group
Do not steal “ice cream” (students and teacher)
Changing your mind is okay
Solve problems in more than one way
Listen and try to understand the ideas/thinking of others
Convince yourself, convince a friend then convince a skeptic
Ask student permission to share thinking whole group
Create a safe environment for student thinking and sharing
Have materials available for student choice in solving problems
Monitor student work/thinking to make decisions about work to be shared

6. Toward Greater Focus and Coherence
CCSS for Mathematics
Toward Greater Focus and Coherence
Sherry and Sandy - Read and Discuss as a group

7. Read – Reflect - Discuss
Read the Introduction to the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics (CCSSM), “Toward Greater Focus and Coherence”, pages 3 – 4.
Use the questions on the next slide to reflect on the reading.
Then discuss with your assigned group.

8. Guiding Questions for Discussions
1. What is meant by “focused standards”?
2. How would you describe mathematical coherence?
3. How will you achieve mathematical focus and coherence in your classroom?

9. Summary Focus: focus strongly where the standards focus
Coherence: think across grades, and link to major topics in each grade
Rigor: in major topics, pursue with equal intensity
conceptual understanding,
procedural skill and fluency
applications

10. Grade Level Lesson Study
We meet together in Grade Level teams to do a lesson study for the purpose of increasing our students mathematical proficiency (CCSSM- Standards for Mathematics Practice)
Sherry - Move Teachers into grade level groups (there is a Power Point slide later on if they have forgotten)

11. Grade Level Lesson Study
Keep these two question in mind:
What classroom norms (mathematical and social) would help promote the 8 SMP’s in our class?
What kind of mathematical task would promote the SMP’s to be enacted by our students?
Sherry

12. The Standards for Mathematical Practice Student Reasoning and Sense Making about Mathematics
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Model with mathematics.
Use appropriate tools strategically.
Attend to precision.
Look for and make use of structure.
Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
Sherry – Reminder slide to them of the 4 SMP’s we focused on last time.

13. Grade Level Lesson Study
What do we need to accomplish today?
By the conclusion of today you should have a fully written up Lesson that will be enacted by half the group.
Complete logistics written on the COMP Website so that everyone knows what to do, where it will be done and how to get there, etc.
Present our lessons to the group for feedback and final revisions.
Sherry

14. Grade Level Lesson Study
After today’s meeting the following dates are scheduled for each group: Team 1: October 5th Team 2: October 6th Team 3: October 7th Team 4: October 8th

Sherry – Be sure to tell them that the lesson has to taught at least two times and that everyone should teach at least once per year.

16. Grade Level Lesson Study
Inform your Administration that you will NEED subs for the full day of your grade level lesson study. Even though some of you will be in your class to teach a math lesson to your students you will need the rest of the time to observe the same lesson being taught to other students and to take part in the lesson study modification discussions.
Sherry

17. Grade Level Lesson Study
The flow of the Lesson Study Days:
Meet at 1st teachers classroom (observe lesson)
Leave classroom – Discuss modifications to lesson plan to promote students SMP
Repeat X times (at least half the group)
At the end of the day we will have an original lesson plan with appropriate modifications (This is our product we will share with others)
Sherry

18. Lesson Study by Open Approach
A Key Component and Requirement for our lesson studies is that we choose some kind of open-ended mathematics task for our students to explore. Please note that this does not mean we have to spend time creating problems or tasks, we can use any worth-while task that we find from curriculums, websites, or other resources.
Gabriel

19. Thai Open Approach
Read over the Thai Grade 1 lesson plan and discuss the plan with your group.
Gabriel

20. COMP Open Approach
Compare the COMP Lesson Study plan to the Thai Open Approach plan with your group.
What questions do you have about this format?
Gabriel

21. Lesson Study Work Work on your Lesson Study and begin typing it.
Upload the details of your logistics for the lesson study.
What school, check in procedures, parking, whose classroom, will someone meet the group at the office, what times, where will the debrief be, whose school and classroom will you be going to next, where will the second debrief be etc.
As a group, share your logistics with Sherry Lane for feedback.

24. Lesson Study Plan Sharing
Each group will be given 5-10 minutes to share their lesson idea and explain:
Its openness as a task
How the activity engages students in mathematical proficiency
The listening grade levels will then have 5 minutes to ask questions about the lesson.
