  1. Richfield Parent Math Night October 7, 2014 Welcome! Tehama county department of education

  2. TONIGHT’S OBJECTIVES Parent Math Night • Help parents understand how the Common Core State Standards are different from our recent educational standards. • Help parents understand what the shift to the new standards and curriculum will mean for their kids. • Help parents understand how they can help their kids at home. TEHAMA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

  3. Traditional U.S. Approach TEHAMA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

  4. Focusing Attention Within Number and Operations TEHAMA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

  5. A Closer Look: Mathematics Shifts • Focus: learn more about less • Build skills across grades • Develop speed and accuracy • Really know it, Really do it • Use it in the real world • Think fast AND solve problems TEHAMA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

  6. Math Shift #1:Focus-spend more time learning fewer topics more deeply Parents can: • know what the priority work is for their grade and provide support for them with these concepts • Ask your child’s teacher about their progress toward their grade level goals Students must: • work toward a deeper understanding of the mathematics they are learning as they spend more time on fewer concepts TEHAMA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

  7. High-level Summary of Major Work in Grades K-8 • K–2 Addition and subtraction—concepts, skills, and problem solving; place value • 3–5Multiplication and division of whole numbers and fractions—concepts, skills, and problem solving • 6th Ratios and proportional relationships; early expressions and equations • 7thRatios and proportional relationships; arithmetic of rational numbers • 8thLinear algebra and linear functions TEHAMA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

  8. Math Shift #2:Coherence-build skills within and across grades Parents can: • be aware of what your child struggled with last year and how that will affect ongoing learning • advocate for your child and ensure that support is given for “gap” skills (particularly numeracy) Students must: • keep building on their learning year after year • recognize that new concepts they are learning are not a new event, but an extension of the math they learning in previous grades TEHAMA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

  9. Math Shift #3:Rigor-develop speed and accuracy (procedural fluency) Parents can: • know all of the fluencies your child should have; prioritize learning of the ones they still find difficult • push children to know, understand and memorize basic math facts Students must: • spend time practicing by doing problems that give them practice with procedural fluency TEHAMA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

  10. Key Fluencies TEHAMA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

  11. Math Shift #3:Rigor-Really know it and really do it (conceptual understanding) Parents can: • notice whether your child really knows why the answer is what it is • advocate for the time your child needs to learn key math skills • provide time for your child to work at math skills at home Students must: • make the math work, and understand why it does • talkabout why the math works • provethat they know why and how the math works TEHAMA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

  12. Math Shift #3:Rigor-use it in the real world (application) Parents can: • Ask your child to do that math that comes up in your daily life • Help your child recognize opportunities to use math in their daily life Students must: • apply math in real world situations, including other subjects like science • know which math skills to use for which situation TEHAMA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

  13. Resources for Parents Parent Letters Math Model Bookmarks Questioning Strategies What you will see…. Math homework that asks students to write out how they got their answer Math homework that asks students to use different methods to solve the same problem Real-world problems that helps the math they are learning make more sense What you can do….

  16. Helping with Homework Parents’ role is to ask questions and let children figure out how to do the math so THEY make sense of the mathematics. • Getting started “Can you tell me what you already know?” • When they are stuck “What have you tried?” • Anytime questions “How do you know?” “What can you tell me?” Children may solve problems in many different ways. Ask your child to explain what she/he did and show why the solution makes sense. TEHAMA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
