Enhancing Lesson Plans with Common Core Mathematical Practices

Discover how to spice up your lesson plans by integrating the Common Core Mathematical Practices (CCMPs). These standards guide educators in developing vital skills in students, such as problem-solving, critical reasoning, and mathematical modeling. By incorporating activities that promote group discussion, real-world applications, and peer critique, you can create a dynamic learning environment that fosters a deeper understanding of mathematics. Explore creative teaching strategies and resources to effectively implement these practices in your classroom.

  1. COMMON CORE MATHEMATICAL PRACTICES SPICING UP YOUR LESSON PLANS – Bethany Morton

  2. WHAT ARE THE CCMP’S • “The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise that mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students.” –www.corestandards.org • They are included on each grade-level intro page of the Common Core State Standards, as a reminder to all of us that we should be incorporating these practices into our lesson planning.

  3. THE CCMPs (see handout) • Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them • Reason abstractly and quantitatively • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others • Model with mathematics • Use appropriate tools strategically • Attend to precision • Look for and make use of structure • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

  4. How to relate them to the Common Core State Standards • Connect them to your lesson plans • “Expectations that begin with the word “understand” are often especially good opportunities to connect the practices to the content.” – www.corestandards.org • Help them to understand by using the CCMPs • consider similar problems • represent problems coherently • justify conclusions • apply the mathematics to practical situations • use technology mindfully to work with the mathematics • explain the mathematics accurately to other students • step back for an overview • deviate from a known procedure to find a shortcut

  5. LESSON 1 (OLD) – exponential changephschool.com

  6. LESSON 1 (NEW) – WITH CCMP LOOK OVER THE LESSON HANDOUT • Added activity/experiment • Let’s try the skittle’s shake • Let’s try the 100 dice throw • Precision – charts and graphing • Approached the lessons differently • More group discussion about the topic • Less practice problems/drilling

  7. LESSON 2 (OLD) – S.A. & Volume

  8. LESSON 2 (NEW) – WITH CCMP • Persevere in solving problems (a hard problem) • Group work – defend arguments • Presentations or gallery walks • Alternate ways to solve the problem • Precision – measurement • Work in pairs to come up with a solution to draw on our cake!

  9. BREAK! See you in 5 minutes. (have your lessons ready to work on!)

  10. Resources for Planning • www.isbe.net • www.corestandards.org • www.Illuminations.nctm.org • www.figurethis.org • www.cowherdmath.wikispaces.com

  11. WORK ON YOUR LESSON! • I’ll be coming around to help with questions and brainstorming! • WHEN YOU’RE DONE: • Post it to www.cowherdmath.wikispaces.com • Let me know if you need help!

  12. Using WORDLE to make POSTERS on CCMP BONUS MATERIAL! An intro to using WORDLE to make “reminder” posters for yourself about the 8 CCMPs WORDLE

  13. COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS A Brief Review

  14. WHERE WE’RE HEADED(www.isbe.net) • The Illinois State Board of Education has adopted new academic standards for K-12 education known as the Common Core State Standards. • The goal of these standards is to better prepare Illinois students for success in college and the workforce in a competitive global economy. • The state’s previous standards were adopted in 1997. • The new standards aim to provide clear, consistent academic benchmarks with “fewer, clearer and higher” academic standards.

  15. TIME FRAME (www.isbe.net) • PHASE I: Adoption, Communication, and Coordination (June‐End of 2011 school year) • PHASE II: Communication, Resource Design, and Design of Implementation System (ongoing) • PHASE III: Transition, Implementation, and Technical Assistance (ongoing) • The transition process should begin with local review and discussion. The new assessment system will be in place 2014-15.

  16. Q & A • Any Questions? • Pick up on your way out! • Posters • Handouts for others  • Common Core State Standards for your grade level (if you want them) • CPDU forms
