Module Evaluation Facilitator: At the end of this Powerpoint, you will find a link to an anonymous brief e-survey that will help us understand how the module is being used and how well it worked in your setting. We hope you will help us grow and improve our NCSM resources!
Mathematics Standards for Content Standards for Practice Common Core State Standards
To explore the mathematical standards for Content and Practice To consider how the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are likely to impact your mathematics program and to plan next steps In particular, participants will Examine opportunities to develop skill in seeing structure and generalizing Today’s Goals
Standards for Mathematical Practice “The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise that mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students. These practices rest on important ‘processes and proficiencies’ with longstanding importance in mathematics education.”(CCSS, 2010)
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Model with mathematics. Use appropriate tools strategically. Attend to precision. Look for and make use of structure. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Standards for Mathematical Practice
Standards for Mathematical Practice • Individually review the Standards for Mathematical Practice. • Choose a partner at your table and discuss a new insight you had into the Standards for Mathematical Practice. • Then discuss the following question. What implications might the Standards for Mathematical Practice have on your classroom?
Odd Numbers • 1. Draw the next shape in Kate’s pattern. • How many new squares did you add? • What size square did you make?
Odd Numbers 1. The numbers of squares make a number pattern. 1 = 1 x 1 = 1 1 + 3 = 2 x 2 = 4 1 + 3 + 5 = 3 x 3 = 9 2. Write the next two lines of the number pattern. 3. Use the number pattern to find the total of the following numbers: 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 Show your work. 4. Write down the number pattern that gives a total of 169. Explain your work.
Odd Numbers • Individually complete parts 1-6. • Compare your work with a partner. • Consider each of the following questions and be prepared to share your thinking with the group: a) What mathematics content is needed to complete the task? b) Which mathematical practices are needed to complete the task?
Tasks as they appear in curricular materials Student learning The Nature of Tasks Used in the Classroom … Will Impact Student Learning!

Comparing Students A, H, G and C • What evidence might support the conclusion that these students are using structure? • What evidence might support the conclusion that these students are using regularity in repeated reasoning?
Comparing Students A and C • Compare the explanations given by these two students. • How is each using regularity in repeated reasoning? • Which student seems to be closer to making a generalization? What is your evidence?
Next Steps and Resources Review the implications you listed earlier and discuss with your table group one or two next steps you might take as a district, school, and classroom teacher.
Today’s Goals • To explore the mathematical standards for Content and Practice • To consider how the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are likely to impact your mathematics program and to plan next steps In particular, participants will • Examine opportunities to develop skill in seeing structure and generalizing
End of Day Reflections • Are there any aspects of your own thinking and/or practice that our work today has caused you to consider or reconsider? Explain. 2. Are there any aspects of your students’ mathematical learning that our work today has caused you to consider or reconsider? Explain.
