  1. Stamford Public Schools CCSS Community Forum:Elementary Mathematics Presented by: Brian Byrne SPS Curriculum Associate for Elementary Math bbyrne@ci.stamford.ct.us www.spselementarymath.blogspot.com @SPSMathK5 Results from research show: “Opportunity to learn is widely considered the single most important predictor of student achievement.” “Teaching and learning is the product of interactions among the teacher, the students, and the mathematics.” -(Digging Deeper into the CCSS)

  2. CCSS: MathematicsThree Major Shifts • Focusstrongly where the standards focus • Coherence: Think across grades and link to major topics within grades • Rigor: Require conceptual understanding, fluency, and application

  3. Focus • Significantly narrow the scope of content and deepen how time and energy is spent in the math classroom • Focus deeply only on what is emphasized in the standards, so that students gain strong foundations

  6. Coherence Think across grades, and link to major topics within grades • Learning is connected within and across grades so that students can build new understanding onto foundations built in previous years. • Begin to count on solid conceptual understanding of core content and build on it. • The standards are developmentally appropriate. Students are ready to learn the concepts. Each standard is not a new event, but an extension of previous learning.

  7. Rigor • The CCSM require a balance of: • Solid conceptual understanding • Procedural skill and fluency • Application of skills in problem solving situations • This requires equal intensity in time, activities, and resources in pursuit of all three

  8. Rigor • Solid Conceptual Understanding • Teach more than “how to get the answer” and instead support students’ ability to access concepts from a number of perspectives • Students are able to see math as more than a set of mnemonics or discrete procedures • Conceptual understanding supports the other aspects of rigor (fluency and application) (b) Fluency • The standards require speed and accuracy in calculation. • Teachers structure class time and/or homework time for students to practice core functions such as single-digit multiplication so that they are more able to understand and manipulate more complex concepts

  11. CCSS Sample Problems • CCSS: • Suggest moving away from multiple choice • Encourage multiple response questions • Find additional sample problems on the Smarter Balanced website • http://www.smarterbalanced.org/sample-items-and-performance-tasks/

  12. CCSS Sample Problems Weak Example of 2.NBT.2-4 Strong Example of 2.NBT.2-4

  16. SPS Implementation Plan • 2012-13 Curriculum Changes to grades K-2 • Aligned all assessment questions to CCSS Domains • Changed assessments to reflect the content of CCSS • 2013-14 Curriculum Changes to grades 3-5 • Aligned all assessments to the CCSS Domains • Curriculum changes will be ongoing, continuously modified, and updated
