NSHS Math Night Agenda - Enhancing Student Success through Common Core Standards

Join us for our Math Night on November 6 and 12, 2013, aimed at fostering a partnership between families and schools to support student achievement in math. We will discuss recent changes in the math curriculum aligned with Common Core State Standards (CCSS), including expectations for students and instructional practices. Learn about available resources and supports for students, review Quarter 1 group data, and access helpful parent/student resources to assist with math learning. Let's work together to enhance our students' mathematical skills!

  1. NSHS Math Night November 6 & 12, 2013

  2. Agenda • Meeting Purpose • Math Curriculum changes- Common Core State Standards (CCSS) • Expectations for NSHS students • Instructional practices • Supports available • Quarter 1 group data • Parent/student resources

  3. Meeting Purpose • Establish a partnership between schools and families to assist students in math

  4. Curriculum Changes- CCSS • Adopted by 45 of 50 states, including RI • Standards provide more clarity and focus, but learning is accelerated from past years • Less review time at beginning of year • Ex. Algebra 1 topics that used to be covered in algebra 2 • 5 or 6 units of study- quizzes, tests, unit assessments for each • Focus- explicitly teaching the standards

  5. Student Expectations • Nightly homework, will receive credit for effort, not accuracy • Come prepared to class with questions on difficult problems • Problem sets given few times/quarter, collected and graded for accuracy • Problem sets- take home or in class in groups with teacher assistance • Teachers available if need extra help (before tests, problem sets)

  6. Instructional Practices • Teaching to mastery, not exposure • Re-teaching concepts, tests revisions/re-takes in some cases • Cooperative learning, peer assistance • Study guides for all assessments • More group work

  7. Supports • Co-teaching support (algebra and geometry) • Extra class (algebra/geometry support) for qualifying students • Algebra readiness class for recommended students • Integrated algebra for recommended algebra 2 students • After school help, advisory help • Students encouraged to form peer study groups

  8. Quarter 1 Data- Algebra 1

  9. Quarter 1 Data- Geometry

  10. Quarter 1 Data- Algebra 2
