Cracking The Without Cracking Up!
Introduce Yourself to Someone You Don’t Know and Share Your Goal For Institute With Them!
What Is The Common Core? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5ktLyHDjL4
Why the Common Core? College Readiness: 4 Year Gap H. School to College Texts College Math Readiness 62% of Jobs Require a Postsecondary Credential 40 Million + Movers Annually
The shape of math in A+ countries A + Countries United States 1 Schmidt, Houang, & Cogan, “A Coherent Curriculum: The Case of Mathematics.” (2002).
Key Shifts: Shift 1 - Focus Focus instruction strongly where the standards focus Fewer Topics Deeper Learning: “Deep, Not Wide”
Then - 2002 GED® test At your table: 1. Solve both problems 2. Discuss the similarities/differences between the two problems 3. How is the GED 2014 problem more complex? 4. What will we have to do in our classrooms to prepare students to solve the GED 2014 problem? Ms. Nguyen is a real estate agent. One of her clients is considering buying a house in the Silver Lakes area, where 6 houses have recently sold for the following amounts: $160,000; $150,000; $185,000; $180,000; $145,000; $190,000. What should Ms. Nguyen report as the Median price of these houses? • $160,000 • $170,000 • $180,000 • $190,000 • Not enough information is given. Note: Method for determining median was provided in the test booklet.

What Does “Common Core Friendly” Instruction Look Like? https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/common-core-state-standards-high-school?resume=0
Standards for Mathematical Practice Discuss: How can you incorporate these standards in your classroom? Which ones seem hardest/easiest for students to do?
What Does “Common Core Friendly” Instruction Look Like? How Did This Instructor Use Questions? What Did He Mean By, “Sometimes the Best Thing I Can Do is Walk Away? How Did He Use Disagreements? https://www.cuny.edu/academics/programs/notable/CATA/cti-cunystart/cunystart-resources-pubs/videos.html
Great Math Questions: What does this mean/How did you get this? Why did you decide to . . . . ? Is there another idea you might try? Do you have any ideas about how you might figure out? Others?
At Your Table, Solve This “Messy Problem” Tavares bought 2 things on sale. One item was 10% off and the other item was 20% off. He says he saved 15% altogether. Could Tavares be right? Explain Could Tavares be wrong? Explain
Problem Solving In Your Classroom What opportunities do your students currently have to grapple with non-routine complex tasks and to… …. reflect on their thinking and consolidate new mathematical ideas and problem solving solutions?
Teach Problem Solving Strategies! Polya’s Four Steps to Problem Solving Polya, George. How To Solve It, 2nd ed. (1957). Princeton University Press.
Using the Polya Method, Solve This Problem Two painters can paint 2 rooms in 2 hours. If 12 rooms have to be painted in 6 hours, how many painters do you need?
One Way to Figure the Answer: Painters = P 6 Hours * P = 24 Work Hours 6P = 24 P = 4
How Common Core Friendly is the Lesson Plan You Created for Homework? Does it Focus Where the Standards Focus? Do Students Use the Standards of Mathematical Practice? Does it Encourage Deep Understanding? Are Students Processors or Just Receptors of Information?
