  1. College and Career Readiness Mathematics at Middle School Poway Unified School District 2014

  2. Purpose of this Presentation Share the PUSD math program for Grade 6 and 7 Develop an understanding of the expectations and options for students in math as they become college and career ready Answers questions about mathematics at Middle School in Poway Unified School District

  3. The California State Framework for Mathematics 2013 “All students need a high quality mathematics program designed to prepare them to graduate from high school ready for college, career, and civic life.” - Mathematics Framework, Introduction Page 1

  4. Guiding Purposes in Middle School Math The development of strong, deep Algebraic thinking is the most important prerequisite for success in in higher level mathematical reasoning and application in problem solving in later life. Mastery and application of the basic components of math at middle school is critical for use in later career and life.

  5. Components of Math Instruction

  6. 2 Sets of StandardsStandards of Mathematical Practice(What do we want students to do)…Mathematical Content Standards (What do we want students to know)..

  7. The California Standards of Mathematical Practice Reasoning and Explaining 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Overarching Habits of Mind 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 6. Attend to precision Modeling and Using Tools 4. Model with mathematics 5. Use appropriate tools strategically Seeing Structure and Generalizing 7. Look and make use of structure 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

  8. The California State Mathematical Content StandardsDomains Source: California Mathematics Framework, 2013

  12. Extending Our StrongInstructional Model in Mathematics Application and Concept Development through the Standards of Mathematical Practices: http://www.pd360.com/index.cfm?ContentId=6233

  13. What questions do you have on the Mathematical Standards of Practice and/or Content… Before we move on to a little class work…..?

  14. How can you help your child in math? • Help your children practice their addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts. • Encourage your children not to give up while solving problems, so they can build their “math stamina” and develop their critical thinking skills. Don’t give them the answers - ask them to think of different ways they can solve problems. • Have your children illustrate the math they were thinking in their head and discuss it with you out loud. • Have your children apply their math knowledge to a real-world scenario at home, such as doubling a recipe or calculating the area of a room.
