  1. Gifted & Curriculum • The Future Classroom...is NOW!

  2. Relationships: Open Doors • If you get students to believe that you care about them & want the best for them, then you can teach them anything anyway! • Gifted & Advanced Students WANT to go DEEP. They want you to ask “Why? How? Prove it”

  3. Snapshot: • Proportions • Concept: 9 = 54 • 12 x • Apply it: How could we use proportions to measure the Flag Pole in the front of the school - Without touching it?! • *Shadow Reckoning • Got it? Find the height of the world’s tallest building, The Burj Khalifa.

  4. Gifted/Advanced & Cool Tools • Mathcaching: math webquests to apply the skills • http://mathbits.com/JrMathBits/

  5. Alternative Assessments • Online Testing & practice tests • http://highmail.highlands.k12.fl.us/~pontiousl/

  6. Projects *Rubric Photostory

  7. Technology: GPS & “Geocaching” • Using real-world technology with handheld GPS units. Explore longitude & latitude coordinates & how satellites track. • Students learn how to ‘mark’ points & ‘find’ points. • Application: Field trip to Hammock State Park to explore “geocaching”-a recent worldwide phenomenon of a hobby.

  8. Technology is Changing Everything • Help... http:/highmail.highlands.k12.fl.us/~pontiousl/

  9. Technology: The Future classroom (hint: It’s Now) BYOD: Bring Your Own Device *Coming to the High School’s in the Fall! *Middle School’s in the 2nd Term next year! WHY?? Answer: 1) Districts will never afford smart devices even though they are virtually required for Common Core 2) There are Apps for just about everything!

  10. BYOD • Active Response Systems (clickers). Why spend thousands... • Celly & Socrative Apps Got a Smart phone today? • Let’s try celly… text @giftedclass to 23559 • m.socrative.com (students) • Virtual room number: 846302 “waiting for teacher to start activity…”

  12. Other Teacher/Student Tools • Edmodo.com • Moodle.com • Gaggle.net • See Handout for lots of stuff (free/cheap) Resources

  13. Common Core & Teachers • Want the standards? www.commoncore.org • Want the assessment format & examples by grade? www.parcconline.org • Florida: www.cpalms.org • www.achievthecore.org

  14. Common Core Aligns with Syngapore... • The idea is Vertical Alignment of the standards. Instead of “mile wide, inch deep” learning, we do the opposite • Pros: students learn only a few concepts but to proficiency • Cons: Gaps need to be filled

  15. Examples • Singapore (slides 49,48, 52) • http://parcconline.org/mcf/mathematics/examples-key-advances-grade-5-grade-6 • http://www.illustrativemathematics.org/standards/k8
