  1. Updates 2013 – 2014 CREC Math Curriculum

  2. Introducing… Gage Gordon Slyman

  3. Purpose • Update on changes in curriculum, resources, expectations • Important Reminders

  4. Shout Out! • Numeracy Team • Spring Curriculum Team • This work wouldn’t have happened without them!

  5. Math Curriculum: WHERE • P21 has been reorganized • www.crec.org/P21

  6. Math Curriculum: WHAT • Multiple Resources • Pacing Guide • Unit Newsletters (teacher and parent versions) • Unit Plans • Unit Formative Tracking Sheets • Journal Prompts • Unit Assessments • Unit Performance Tasks • Math Rubric • IXL Alignments • Literature List • Fact Fluency Plan • General Resources • Report Card Guides

  7. Primary Resources

  8. Hands-On Standards • Updated versions of your white spiral-bound resource received last year • Common Core Edition for grades K through 5 • Fraction Edition for grades 3 through 5 • Student hand-outs available online at www.hand2mind.com/hosstudent • You will also receive any additional manipulatives needed to support this resource

  9. Pacing Guide • Changes in pacing at all levels. • Order changed in: • Kindergarten -> Measurement moved earlier • Grade 1 -> Switched Unit 1 and 2, Measurement moved earlier • Grade 2 -> Switched Unit 1 and 2, Embedded Unit 9 throughout • Grade 3 -> Switched Unit 7 and 8 • Grade 4 -> Switched Unit 1 and 2 • Grade 5 -> Separated Unit 2 into two separate units • Reminders: • Suggested pacing • Each unit also has an additional week for re-teaching and enrichment that is NOT accounted for

  10. Unit Newsletters(Teachers and Parents) • Teacher Unit Newsletter • Posted on P21 • Parent Unit Newsletter • Will be forthcoming before each unit • Unit 1 and 2 posted now

  11. Unit Plan • Only change is the addition of resources • Hands-On Standards CCSS and Fraction editions • Learnzillion • Illustrativemathematics • Georgia Tasks • CCSS Mathematical Practice Tasks • Per teacher request, we will work on adding a separate section that focuses on learning tasks to be used during stations • Reminders: • Living document with embedded resources… always work with electronic version

  12. Unit Tracking Sheet • No Changes • Reminders • Optional • Can be used to help track student outcomes for unit

  13. Journal Prompts • With the new CCSSM Practice Standards, we need to ensure our students are communicating on a regular basis. • 1 per week of your choice, can do more • Should be kept in student data portfolio to demonstrate growth

  14. Unit Assessments • All grade levels were revised based on feedback and data from 2012-2013 • A second version of each assessment to be given as the pre-assessment and re-assessment has been added to the unit plan • All unit assessments should go in the student’s data portfolio • Reminders: • Not Optional – data for any post-assessments will be entered in Performance Pathways • Optional to put pre-assessment data in PP • Assessment can be given again after re-teaching or intervention

  15. Unit Performance Tasks • I will be collecting student samples for each task • All tasks should go in the student’s data portfolio • Reminders • Not Optional • Embedded in Unit Plan • Use instructionally and as formative data • Build student capacity to complete tasks • First task should be launched together • Second task could be done in pairs depending on needs of class/grade level

  16. Math Rubric • Should be posted in room and in upper grades, given to students for their math folder • Reminders • Each grade level has a 4-point rubric that should be used to score any math investigation, journal entry, or performance task. • Focuses on the three main components we want students to provide • Accurate answer • Model/representation of answer • Communication of answer • Aligns with the general scoring on our report cards.

  17. IXL Alignment • All elementary students have IXL accounts • These can be used in school during workshop as well as at home • Alignment provides the appropriate activities for each unit • Will also be included in parent unit letter

  18. Literature List • Each unit has several pieces of children’s literature aligned to it • Copies of these books were ordered for all teachers this year • Intention is for you to place in classroom library as well as use instructionally

  19. Fact Fluency Plan • Defines fluency • Outlines expectations • Gives suggestions for monitoring/tracking • Gives suggestions for instructional models/ activities • www.xtramath.com

  20. Fluency in Grades 1, 2 and 3 • Explicit in your standards and curriculum (Unit 2) • Main resource is Mastering the Basic Math Facts • Three district benchmarks will be given this year • Suggested Instructional/Assessment Plan:

  21. Fluency in Grades 4 and 5 • No direct instruction to fluency • fluency should still be an important piece of the math time • A district benchmark will be given to all grade 4 and 5 students three times this year (September, January, May). • The benchmark in September will establish baseline data and be used to target individual needs. • The January benchmark will be used to re-evaluate individual needs • The May benchmark will be used to analyze mastery/growth.

  22. General Resources • New • Mathematical Practices Resources • Practice Posters • Lesson Seeds • Problem Solving Decks • Great prompts to get kids thinking! • Reminders • Vocabulary • Word wall is a must with new curriculum • Don’t just put words up on the wall, make sure students interact with the words. • With older students, have them create the word wall • Unit Mapping Template • Useful to help you plan the unit • Will be template used during unit planning parties • Lesson Plan Templates • Follow the math workshop/guided math model

  23. Report Card Guides • Teacher guides have been provided for each grade level • Meant to help teachers determine a student’s progress towards the end-of-the-year standards in mathematics • Just a guide and cannot account for every possible scenario a teacher may have in their classroom • Provides consistent guidance on the different levels of Academic Expectations for each of the trimesters. • This is meant only for teachers and should not be shared with parents.

  24. Math Curriculum: HOW • Your team is your greatest resource • Schoology • Support from curriculum team • Feedback still encouraged

  25. Questions? • Patricia Slyman • pallen@crec.org • 860-509-3701 as of September 23
