  1. A Story of Units Bridging the Gap: Coherence and Support for Grade 1 Learning

  2. Session Objectives • Examination of the progression from Kindergarten, Module 4 into Grade 1 standards. • Consideration of how to utilize curriculum materials to bridge learning gaps for students.

  3. Agenda Examination of Coherence Links Addressing Students’ Gaps in Learning

  4. Coherence Links • Read the Grade 1 Focal Standards for Modules 1 and 2, with Grade K’s Module 4 in mind. • How does GK-M4 create a foundation for Grade 1 learning? • What specific strategies/skills does GK-M4 introduce that are critical for G1 learning?

  5. Agenda Examination of Coherence Link Addressing Students’ Gaps in Learning

  6. Sample of a Student with Gaps in Learning • Breccan’smath learning profile: • Counts all when counting • When using number bonds, he always adds the two numbers provided to complete third section, no matter which circle is empty • Based on the standards, he may need support with foundational skills.

  7. Sample of a Student with Gaps in Learning • In determining the best way to address gaps, I must consider: • What level of conceptual understanding does the student have: limited, concrete, pictorial, abstract? • Does he have difficulty with the entire concept or is there just an element of the concept that is tripping him up? • Does he understand conceptually but not apply or transfer the understanding?

  8. Sample of a Student with Gaps in Learning • How might I bridge across Breccan’s gaps? • Consider: • Foundational Standards • Instructional work from those foundations • Grade 1 standards and objectives

  9. Sample of a Student with Gaps in Learning • How might I bridge across Breccan’s gaps? • During Extra Help (or another resource time), utilize a part of an activity from Grade K, Module 4 objective that targets gap. • Pair the concrete or pictorial representation • with the Grade 1 work to support transfer.

  10. Sample of a Student with Gaps in Learning • Maria’s math learning profile: • Properly completes concrete tasks for Level 3 strategies • If reminded to make a math drawing, can accurately represent and solve task for Level 3 strategy • Uses counting all using her fingers when working independently. • Based on the standards, she may need support with foundational skills.

  11. Sample of a Student with Gaps in Learning • In determining the best way to address gaps, I must consider: • What level of conceptual understanding does the student have: limited, concrete, pictorial, abstract? • Does she have difficulty with the entire concept or is there just an element of the concept that is tripping her up? • Does she understand conceptually but not apply or transfer the understanding?

  12. Sample of a Student with Gaps in Learning • How might I bridge across Maria’s gaps? • Consider: • Foundational Standards • Instructional work from those foundations • Grade 1 standards and objectives

  13. Sample of a Student with Gaps in Learning • How might I bridge across Maria’s gaps? • Connecting concrete or representational activities with abstract activities • Use fluency work that strengthens the • fluency of individual components • within the concept. • Repeating a particular fluency experience for several days in a row

  14. Exploring Ways to Bridge the Gaps Using the learning profiles shared, the chart of objectives from the Foundational Modules (such as GK-M4) and your experiences with the Grade 1 Modules, create 2 specific possibilities for bridging the students’ gap in mathematical understanding. What kinds of gaps in student learning are you seeing or hearing about with Grade 1 students?

  15. A Story of Units Grade 1 – Module 5

  16. Session Objectives • Examination of the development of mathematical understanding across the module using a focus on Concept Development within the lessons. • Introduction to mathematical models and instructional strategies to support implementation of A Story of Units.

  17. Agenda Introduction to the Module Concept Development Module Review

  18. Curriculum Overview of A Story of Units

  19. Module 5 Focal Standards Reason with shapes and their attributes. 1.G.1 Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g., triangles are closed and three-sided) versus non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size); build and draw shapes to possess

  20. Module 5 Focal Standards Reason with shapes and their attributes. 1.G.2 Compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles) or three-dimensional shapes (cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape. (Students do not need to learn formal names such as “right rectangular prism.”)

  21. Module 5 Focal Standards Reason with shapes and their attributes. 1.G.3 Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, fourths, and quarters, and use the phrases half of, fourth of, and quarter of. Describe the whole as two of, or four of the shares. Understand for these examples that decomposing into more equal shares creates smaller shares.

  22. Module 5 Focal Standards Tell and write time. 1.MD.3 Tell and write time in hours and half-hours using analog and digital clocks.

  23. The Progressions Document, K-6 Geometry Progressions Document: K-6 Geometry • Read pages 1-5 and pages 8-9. • What are some of the overarching goals of exploring and understanding geometry in the primary grades? • What stands out to you about the examples used in the Progressions?
