  1. Elementary Balanced Mathematics in Madison Metropolitan School District Sara R. Cutler MMSD Teacher Leader in Mathematics

  2. Student-Centered Standards-Based Assessment-Driven Balanced Math Instruction

  3. What do we teach in K-5 mathematics? Common Core State Standards Standards for Mathematical Practice

  4. Mathematical Practicesare Essential and Enduring

  5. Teachers use our Core Resources • Investigations • District Notebooks and Instructional Guides • Teaching Student Centered Mathematics by Luann Lovin and John Van De Walle 4. Primary Math Textbooks, Workbooks and Challenging Word Problems (aka Singapore Math)

  6. The Four Blocks of Mathematics Instruction and Curriculum Number Work Problem Solving Inspecting Equations Fluency & Maintenance

  7. Common Core Learning Experiences at Every Grade Level • Kindergarten • First Grade • 2/3 • 4/5

  8. How we arrived at this point • University of Wisconsin • Cognitively Guided Instruction, Thomas Carpenter • Madison Metropolitan School District • Balanced Literacy • Developmental Guidelines • K–12 Scope & Sequence • Common Core State Standards • National standards, adopted by Wisconsin in 2010

  9. Reflection questions: • What have you heard about Balanced Math today? • How does this approach to teaching mathematics compare to your own experiences in learning math?

  10. Quote • We begin, then, with the premise that understanding should be the most fundamental goal of mathematics instruction; the goal which all others depend. • Making sense: Teaching and Learning Mathematics with Understanding • By James Heibert et al. 1997
