  2. MNPS Vision Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools will provide every student with the foundation of knowledge, skills and character necessary to excel in higher education, work, and life.

  3. MNPS Professional Development Vision Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools provides all stakeholders quality professional development for adult learning that results in the growth of the whole child and the improvement of student learning.

  4. Norms • I commit to… • beginning and ending on time • turning my cell phone to vibrate, returning calls and text during breaks • respecting everyone’s opinion • processing our learning • actively participating and having fun learning together

  8. Round Robin Share • Name • Where do you teach? • What grade do you teach ? • What is one thing most people do not know about you?

  9. Balanced Math Overview

  10. Elements of Balanced Math

  11. Balanced Math is...

  12. Course Outline K-2 • Common Core Standards • Mandatory Pacing • Resources • Activities • Supports Balanced Math 3-4 • Tennessee Standards • Mandatory Pacing • Resources • Activities • Supports Balanced Math

  13. Wikispaces

  14. BREAK • 10 minutes

  15. Balanced Math in Practice

  16. Daily Math Review

  17. Mental Math • Silence math

  18. Balanced Math Concept Lesson

  19. Closure

  20. LUNCH 1 Hour

  21. Planning

  22. Planning Resources • Standards (CCSS K-2, MNPS 3-4) • MNPS Pacing Guides • Books (Literature) • Websites • MNPS Wikispaces • Textbook sample access with codes

  23. Balanced Math is… • Standards based NOT textbook based!!! • Your text book is an AWESOME resource/ reference book.

  24. Standards • CCSS K-2 • MNPS 3-4 • MNPS Wikispaces • Does this meet my current standards?

  25. The Process of Planning • Start with the END in mind!

  26. Assessments • FORMATIVE—checking on learning as students progress • SUMMATIVE—checking on learning at the end of the learning experience • “When the cook tastes the soup, that’s formative; when the guests taste the soup, that’s summative.” (Stake, 2005)

  27. Formative & Summative Assessments • Diagnostic Assessment (STAR/AM) • Pre-Test • Quizzes • Teacher Observation • Math Journals • Exit Tickets • Teacher Made Tests • Chapter and Unit Tests • Easy CBM Math (DIBELS) • Discovery Education Assessments (Thinklink) • Benchmark Assessments (Blue Cards) • Performance Task • Projects • TCAP

  28. Break • 5 Minutes

  29. Divide into Grade Level TeamsPlease!

  30. Produce Performance Task (10) • student outcomes/projects • Summative assessment for the unit of study • Directions (10) • Use the Standards Documents on the table • Using the MNPS Pacing Guides for the 1st Nine Weeks • Produce a performance task specific to your grade level

  31. Math Review • Typically, this involves the teacher posting 4-6 varying math concepts for students to work. • The teacher acts as a facilitator who encourages a variety of ways to solve problems and helps model efficient thinking when necessary. • Students solve problems in their math journals or notebooks. • Correct together and students take turns sharing their individual strategies with the class. • Concepts are consistently revisited throughout the year so that they are not taught in isolation and/or forgotten.

  32. Manufacture Math Review (10) • Spiral Review • Suggested: • To use the TN State Standards SPI’s/GLE’s TCAP Prep 1st-4th grades (All year)

  33. Mental Math • One more/one less, before/after, a given number • Counting by twos, fives, tens • Doubles • Fact families • Measurement (time, money, calendar, feet, etc.) • Math Vocabulary/Math Word Wall • Addition &/ or Subtraction Facts • Estimation • Math Around the Room

  34. Make Mental Math Activities (5)

  35. Gradual Release of Responsibility

  36. C.R.A. Model Representational Concrete Abstract

  37. Concept Lesson • Students experience inquiry-based methods of understanding key concepts • Use of concrete representation when introducing new concepts • Problem-based interactive learning should be the foundation in teaching for understanding • Teachers implement strategies that help students develop understanding • Utilize resources and methods beyond the adopted textbook • Opportunities to work with small group instruction, enrichment, etc.

  38. Where Do You Find Resources? • Instructional Coaches • Super Source Manipulative Kit • Marilyn Burns Math Lessons • Marilyn Burns Math and Literature • Online resources • Math Games • Textbook • Teacher Resource books • Navigations Series (NCTM) • AIMS

  39. Build Balanced Math Concept Lesson (20)

  40. Closure (7) • H.O.T. Questions • Math Journal • Exit Tickets • Oral Review

  41. Break • 5 Minutes

  42. Group Presenations (40-50) • Group 1 • Group 2 • Group 3 • Group 4 • Group 5

  43. Ask Yourself • Does this meet my current standards?

  44. Exit Ticket • What is the most significant thing you learned today? • What component will you implement first and with what math standard? • What support do you need next as you implement Balanced Math?

  45. Adapted from: • Five Easy Steps to a Balanced Math Program for Primary Grades by Larry Ainsworth and Jan Christinson
