Planning for CCSSM Instruction-Second Grade Presented by Dr. Linda K. Griffith May 3, 2013
Quotes • “Wise men say only fools rush in…” ~Elvis Presley • “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.” ~Alexander Pope (essay in 1709) • “The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves and wiser people so full of doubts.” ~Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)
Process vs. Product • The focus of today is to explore a process for planning mathematics instruction in second grade. • The products that will be shown are only examples to show what products might emerge from the process. • None of these products are complete and they have not been field tested.
Grain Size Phil Daro
Questions to Ponder as You View the Video • Why does mathematics not break down into lessons size pieces? • What is Daro proposing to replace common lesson planning? • What evidence is he using to support his position?

Planning the Year • Focus and Coherence is not promoted by a checklist. • Focus and Coherence means you are working on many related standards simultaneously and may not “finish” a standard in a unit. • See page 3-4 of the CCSSM.
What is the focus for Grade 2? • Read to page 17 of the CCSSM. • Discuss the four focus areas for Grade 2. • What, if any, are the connections between these foci? • What have you done in the past that is simply not here now?
Need a 3-D Model Year Long Plan • Topics (across the top) • Time (down the side) • Units (shading) – require narrative descriptions
Discuss at Your Table • Refer to pages 17-20 of the CCSSM. • List the topic titles you would use across the top of the year long planning document.
Compare to Sample The topic names you will see on the sample are: • Place Value • Operation Sense • Multi-digit Addition and Subtraction • Linear Measurement • Properties of Operations • Multiplication • Fractions • Time and Money • Shapes and their Attributes How do these compare with yours?
Keeping the Focus • What topic is pervasive in Grade 2? The Glue
Compare to Sample In the sample it appears that Place value is the glue for grade 2. • How does this compare with your group discussion?
Connections between Topics • Discuss the relationships between topics to help you think about units that cross topics. • Decisions that you make here may change as you move to the next phase in the process. • Shade in units to show the connections you are making, and number your units. • Does this validate your thinking about the “glue”?
Unit or Chapter Planning: Step 1 • Begin with studying the “primary” resources related to the driving topic in a unit.
Eg: Place Value • Place Value Background from Investigations • Developing Essential Understanding of Number and Numeration: Pages 35-41 • Children’s Mathematics: pages 59-64 • Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally, 7th Edition pages 187-204 • Cognition Based Assessment and Teaching of Plave Value: page 10
Try It Out Study these resources in your group. • What are the similarities and differences in the information from these resources? • How did these materials impact your thinking about teaching place value in grade 2? • What questions do you have after studying these resources?
The Big Questions • Why is place value important? • How does it connect to other standards?
Can we apply what we learned? • What kind of word problems provide contexts for grouping by 10? • What do the following mean: ten, -teen, -ty? • What kinds of manipulatives can be used to help students model larger numbers? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each manipulative you named?
Next Step • What are the essential understandings (unit goals) related to place value? • What standards outside the NBT domain will be incorporated in the unit? How? Why?
Summative Assessment • Discuss how you might summatively assess students’ understanding of place value and the related standards.
Compare • Will your assessment plan give you information about student understanding of place value and the related topics?
Sample The sample names this unit, “Place Value.” • How do the sample unit goals compare with those you discussed in your group?
Collecting Potential Problems and Tasks • As you study primary resources you begin to collect problems and tasks that you might use in day-to-day instruction. • Not every problem or task would be used by every teacher. • Some teachers may need additional problems or tasks. • A collaborative group might agree on the initial formative assessment task. • Secondary resources can be used as sources for problems and tasks.
Study and Discuss Examine the problems and tasks included in the sample unit. • How do these align with the unit goals? • How do these align with the primary resources? • How are these alike or different from materials you have used in the past? • Are the prerequisite skills the students would need to bring from first grade or develop to engage in these problems and tasks?
Discuss At Your Table • Can you give examples of things we have done in the past in second grade that were “answer getting strategies”? • What can we do instead?
The Purposeful Pedagogy and Discourse Instructional Model The Research tinyurl.com/AR-PPDM-article
The Foundation • Jacobs, Lamb, and Philipp on professional noticing and professional responding; • Smith, Stein, Hughes, and Engle on orchestrating productive mathematical discussions; • Ball, Hill, and Thames on types of teacher mathematical knowledge; and • Levi and Behrend (Teacher Development Group) on Purposeful Pedagogy Model for Cognitively Guided Instruction.
Day-to-Day Planning for Instruction • On-going formative assessment • Learning goals
Step 1 • Write or select a problem or task that has the potential to reveal some mathematics that will help reach the learning goal. • What is the mathematics this task or problem has the potential to reveal?
Step 2 • Anticipate what students will do that might be productive to share. • Remember there are productive failures.
Step 3 • Pose the problem and monitor students as they solve. • Teachers role during this process is called professional noticing. • Requires that they have the teacher specialized content knowledge.
Steps 4 and 5 • Select student work to share that would be productive. • Sequence the papers to share to help students make connections.
Step 6 • Compare and contrast strategies and make mathematical connections (Discourse).
8 Standards for Mathematical Practice • 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.
What Others Have Done • New York • Georgia • Indiana • North Carolina
Remember • The process is what is important. • The handout contains samples of what products might look like.
