Standards and Instructional Strategies Module 4B ESUHSD June 2012
Outcomes • Increase understanding of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in Mathematics by exploring and engaging in • Instructional Strategies that support all students’ learning • Formative Assessment Lessons • Number Talks • Discuss and Reflect on Next Steps
Agenda • Welcome Back and Review • CCSS Formative Assessment Lesson • Number Talk • Reflection and Next Steps
Domains and Conceptual CategoriesDistribution Findell & Foughty (2011) College and Career-Readiness through the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics
High School Mathematics The CCSS high school standards are organized in 6 conceptual categories: Number and Quantity Algebra Functions Modeling (*) Geometry Statistics and Probability California additions: Advanced Placement Probability and Statistics Calculus Modeling standards are indicated by a (*) symbol. Standards necessary to prepare for advanced courses in mathematics are indicated by a (+) symbol.
High SchoolMathematics Standards • Conceptual Categories • Number & Quantity • Algebra • Functions • Modeling • Geometry • Statistics & Probability Conceptual Categories • Number & Quantity • Algebra • Functions • Modeling • Geometry • Statistics & Probability Modeling: • Links classroom mathematics and statistics to everyday life, work, and decision-making • Is the process of choosing and using appropriate mathematics and statistics • Uses technology to explore consequences and compare predictions with data
Overarching habits of mind of a productive mathematical thinker Reasoning and explaining Modeling and using tools Seeing structure and generalizing Standards for Mathematical Practice 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. adapted from McCallum (2011) Standards for Mathematical Practice
Mathematical Goals • Understand the various algebraic forms of a quadratic function and what each reveals about the characteristics of its graphical representation.
Quadratic Functions • Read through the task and try to answer it as carefully as you can. • Show all you work so I can understand your reasoning.
Graphs and Equations • What does an equation in standard form tell you about the graph? • What does an equation in completed square form tell you about the graph?
Key Features of a Quadratic Curve • Using graph paper draw the x-and y-axis and sketch two quadratic curves that look quite different from each other. • What makes your two graphs different? • What are the common features of your graphs?
Compare/Contrast What is the same and what is different about the graphs of these two equations? How do you know?
Matching Dominos • Take turns at matching pairs of dominos that you think belong together. • Each time you do this, explain your thinking clearly and carefully to your partner. • It is important that you both understand the matches. If you don't agree or understand, ask your partner to explain their reasoning. You are both responsible for each other’s learning. • On some cards an equation or part of an equation is missing. Do not worry about this, as you can carry out this task without this information.
Sharing Work • One student from each group is to visit another group's work • If you are staying at your desk, be ready to explain the reasons for your group's matches. • If you are visiting another group: • Write your card matches on a piece of paper. • Go to another group's desk and check to see which matches are different from your own. • If there are differences, ask for an explanation. If you still don't agree, explain your own thinking. • When you return to your own desk, you need to consider as a pair whether to make any changes to your own work.
Mathematical “Big Ideas” in the Model Lesson • Students will understand • what the different algebraic forms of a quadratic function reveal about the properties of its graphical representation. • how the factored form of the function can identify a graph’s roots. • how the completed square form of the function can identify a graph’s maximum or minimum point. • how the standard form of the function can identify a graph’s intercept.
Misconception • Students may make incorrect assumptions about what the different forms of the quadratic equation reveal about the properties of its parabola.
Formative Assessment Lesson Structure • Students… • work on their own, completing an assessment task designed to reveal their current understandings. • participate in a whole-class interactive introduction • work in pairs on a collaborative discussion tasks (in this case, matching the dominoes). • return to their original task and try to improve their responses. http://map.mathshell.org/materials/
FAL Walk Through • Standards • Instructional Strategies • Connections to Current Classroom Practice To what extent are teachers using strategies modeled in the FAL?
Research on Formative Assessment • Guidelines issued by professions organizations (NRC, 2001) • Standards for Teacher Practice (AERA/APA/NCME, 1999) • Research on the effects of classroom assessment on student learning (Black & Wiliam, 1998; Brookhart, 2004, Shepard, 2001)
It’s teachers that make the difference • Take a group of 50 teachers • Students taught by the best teacher learn twice as fast as average • Students taught by the worst teacher learn half as fast average • And in the classrooms of the best teachers • Students with behavioral difficulties learn as much as those without • Students from disadvantaged backgrounds do as well as those from advantaged backgrounds
Mental Math What is 6% of 35? The way we just debriefed this question is a “Number Talk.”
Number Talks • A daily routine for whole‐class instruction • Number Sense (efficiency, accuracy & flexibility) • Generalized Arithmetic-conceptual understanding • Reasoning and Problem Solving • Mental Mathematics • 10 minutes per day • Preview-Review-Conceptual Understanding
Number Talk with Dots How many dots do you see? How did you see them?
Number Talk • If 75% of the original price is $120, what is the original price?
True/False Number Talk True or False? Why?
Dilemma Number Talk • Kirstensays that 10xy-5xy + 4xy equals xy 10-5+4 Davidsays that 10xy-5xy + 4xyequals 9xy Explain the mathematical reasoning that both David & Kirsten used to simplify the expression above.
Spatial Reasoning Math Talk How many cubes? How do you see them? What is the surface area?
Questions Teachers Might Ask • Who would like to share their thinking? • Did someone solve it a different way? • Who else used this strategy to solve the problem? • How did you figure it out? • What did you do next? • What did you need to know? • Why did you do that? Tell me more. • Which strategies do you see being used?
Get It Together • Teams of four • Distribute the clues • You may not look at anyone else’s clues • You may share your clue by telling others what’s on it, but you may not show it to anyone else!
Reflection • FAL, Number Talk, Get It Together • Instructional Strategiesconnected to CCSSM and SMP • Questioning and Prompts • Collaboration • Oral Language Production What are you currently doing in your classroom that exemplifies these strategies and what might you need to enhance?
