COMMON CORE MATHEMATICAL PRACTICES SPICING UP YOUR LESSON PLANS – Bethany Morton
WHAT ARE THE CCMP’S • “The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise that mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students.” –www.corestandards.org • They are included on each grade-level intro page of the Common Core State Standards, as a reminder to all of us that we should be incorporating these practices into our lesson planning.
THE CCMPs (see handout) • 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
How to relate them to the Common Core State Standards • Connect them to your lesson plans • “Expectations that begin with the word “understand” are often especially good opportunities to connect the practices to the content.” – www.corestandards.org • Help them to understand by using the CCMPs • consider similar problems • represent problems coherently • justify conclusions • apply the mathematics to practical situations • use technology mindfully to work with the mathematics • explain the mathematics accurately to other students • step back for an overview • deviate from a known procedure to find a shortcut
LESSON 1 (NEW) – WITH CCMP LOOK OVER THE LESSON HANDOUT • Added activity/experiment • Let’s try the skittle’s shake • Let’s try the 100 dice throw • Precision – charts and graphing • Approached the lessons differently • More group discussion about the topic • Less practice problems/drilling
LESSON 2 (NEW) – WITH CCMP • Persevere in solving problems (a hard problem) • Group work – defend arguments • Presentations or gallery walks • Alternate ways to solve the problem • Precision – measurement • Work in pairs to come up with a solution to draw on our cake!
BREAK! See you in 5 minutes. (have your lessons ready to work on!)

COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS A Brief Review
WHERE WE’RE HEADED(www.isbe.net) • The Illinois State Board of Education has adopted new academic standards for K-12 education known as the Common Core State Standards. • The goal of these standards is to better prepare Illinois students for success in college and the workforce in a competitive global economy. • The state’s previous standards were adopted in 1997. • The new standards aim to provide clear, consistent academic benchmarks with “fewer, clearer and higher” academic standards.
TIME FRAME (www.isbe.net) • PHASE I: Adoption, Communication, and Coordination (June‐End of 2011 school year) • PHASE II: Communication, Resource Design, and Design of Implementation System (ongoing) • PHASE III: Transition, Implementation, and Technical Assistance (ongoing) • The transition process should begin with local review and discussion. The new assessment system will be in place 2014-15.
Q & A • Any Questions? • Pick up on your way out! • Posters • Handouts for others • Common Core State Standards for your grade level (if you want them) • CPDU forms
