2. “In schools across the state, there has been a proliferation of course titles and they often fail to communicate their contents clearly. With the implementation of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, there should be one common system for naming courses to help parents understand, monitor, and advocate for the needs of their children.” (Confrey, Nguyen, and Lee, A Proposal for a Unified Common Core Mathematics in North Carolina, 2011)

6. Webb’s Depth of Knowledge

7. Webb’s Depth of Knowledge Webb’s DOK … 1. focuses on the cognitive demand required to successfully complete an assessment/task. 2. focuses on the context of the “verb” 3. focuses on the depth of thought required

8. Webb’s Depth of Knowledge Level 1 Recall Recall of a fact, information or procedure Level 2 Skill/Concept Use information or conceptual knowledge, two or more steps, etc. Level 3 Strategic Thinking Requires reasoning, developing a plan or sequence of steps, some complexity, more than one possible answer Level 4 Extended Thinking Requires an investigation, time to think and process multiple conditions of the problem

9. Webb’s Depth of Knowledge Activity #1- Pick a concept for your grade level and come up with an activity for each level of DOK. Level 1 Recall- Draw, identify, list, recall, use, memorize, calculate, define, state, label, quote, match, measure, illustrate Level 2 Skill/Concept- compare, make observations, predict, estimate, graph, sketch, solve, show, interpret, modify Level 3 Strategic Thinking- develop a logical argument, assess, investigate, hypothesize, use concepts to solve non-routine problems, formulate, appraise, differentiate, draw conclusions Level 4 Extended Thinking- analyze, apply concepts, compose, connect, create, critique, defend, design, evaluate, judge, propose, prove, support, synthesize

13. Mathematics | Grade 6 In Grade 6, instructional time should focus on four critical areas: (1) connecting ratio and rate to whole number multiplication and division and using concepts of ratio and rate to solve problems (2) completing understanding of division of fractions and extending the notion of number to the system of rational numbers, which includes negative numbers (3) writing, interpreting, and using expressions and equations (4)developing understanding of statistical thinking.

14. Mathematics | Grade 7 In Grade 7, instructional time should focus on four critical areas: (1)developing understanding of and applying proportional relationships (2) developing understanding of operations with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations (3) solving problems involving scale drawings and informal geometric constructions, and working with two- and three-dimensional shapes to solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume (4) drawing inferences about populations based on samples

15. Mathematics | Grade 8 In Grade 8, instructional time should focus on three critical areas: (1) formulating and reasoning about expressions and equations, including modeling an association in bivariate data with a linear equation, and solving linear equations and systems of linear equations (2) grasping the concept of a function and using functions to describe quantitative relationships (3) analyzing two- and three-dimensional space and figures using distance, angle, similarity, and congruence, and understanding and applying the Pythagorean Theorem.

17. Activity #3- Crosswalks Steps: • Examine your grade level crosswalk document • On the outline in your e-packet list the following: • What is new to my curriculum • What is no longer in my curriculum • How do I plan to gather resources for new material

18. New to 6th Grade: • Unit rate (6.RP.3b) • Measurement unit conversions (6.RP 3d) • Number line – opposites and absolute value (6.NS.6a, 6.NS.7c) • Vertical and horizontal distances on the coordinate plane (6.NS.8) • Distributive property and factoring (6.EE.3) • Introduction of independent and dependent variables (6.NS.9) • Volume of right rectangular prisms with fractional edges (6.G.2) • Surface area with nets (only triangle and rectangle faces) (6.G.4) • Dot plots, histograms, box plots (6.SP.4) • Statistical variability (M.A.D. and Interquartile Range) (6.G.5c) Moved from 6th Grade: • Multiplication of fractions (moved to 5th grade) • Scientific notation (moved to 8th grade) • Transformations (moved to 8th grade) • Area and circumference of circles (moved to 7th grade) • Probability (moved to 7th grade) • Two-step equations (moved to 7th grade) • Solving one- and two-step inequalities (moved to 7th grade)

19. 6th Grade Notes: • Topics may appear to be similar between the CCSS and the 2003 NCSCOS; however, the CCSS may be presented at a higher cognitive demand. • Equivalent fractions, decimals and percents are in 6th grade but as conceptual representations (see 6.RP.2c). Use of the number line (building on elementary foundations) is also encouraged. • For more detailed information, see the crosswalks. • 6.NS. 2 is the final check for student understanding of place value. Instructional considerations for CCSS implementation in 2012 – 2013: • Multiplication of fractions (reference 5.NF.3, 5.NF.4a, 5.NF.4b, 5.NF.5a, 5.NF.5b, 5.NF.6) • Division of whole number by unit fractions and division of unit fractions by whole numbers (reference 5.NF.7a, 5.NF.7b, 5.NF.7c) • Multiplication and division of decimals (reference 5.NBT.7) • Volume with whole number (reference 5.MD.3, 5.MD.4, 5.MD.5) • Classification of two-dimensional figures based on their properties (reference 5.G.3, 5,G.4
