  7. Overview

  8. Plan for Today’s Webinar Moving to Common Practice with the Common Core DeAnn Huinker, Melissa Hedges, & Elizabeth Cutter MSPnet Academy, 6 March 2013 (mspnet.org) Examine four themes related to the Common Core that grounded us in our work. Provide an overview of the university-district partnership project. Discuss some of the shifts that are occurring in the classroom and the impact on students. Discuss district strategies including the work of teacher leadership teams.

  9. Fulfilling a Promise Moving to Common Practice with the Common Core DeAnn Huinker, Melissa Hedges, & Elizabeth Cutter MSPnet Academy, 6 March 2013 (mspnet.org) These Standards are not intended to be new names for old ways of doing business. They are a call to take the next step. It is time for states to work together to build on lessons learned from two decades of standards based reforms. It is time to recognize that these standards are not just promises to our children, but promises we intend to keep. --CCSSM (2010, p. 4)

  10. CCSSM----Common Core State Standardsfor Mathematics

  11. Coherence Progressions across grades based on discipline of mathematics and research on student learning. Rigor of Understanding Deep, genuine understanding of mathematics and ability to use that knowledge in real-world situations. Theme 1. Focus-Coherence-Rigor Moving to Common Practice with the Common Core DeAnn Huinker, Melissa Hedges, & Elizabeth Cutter MSPnet Academy, 6 March 2013 (mspnet.org) Focus Unifying themes and guidance on “ways of knowing” the mathematics.

  12. Theme 1 Questions We Often Ask Moving to Common Practice with the Common Core DeAnn Huinker, Melissa Hedges, & Elizabeth Cutter MSPnet Academy, 6 March 2013 (mspnet.org) • Focus on fewer topics: Which topics should be the “focus” at each grade level,and which are to be eliminated or de-emphasized? • Coherence across grades:How does what I teach this year build on what students bring with them and where does the mathematics progress in subsequent years? • Rigor and depth of understanding:How is that students need to know, understand, and be able to use the mathematics?

  13. Describe how students engage with and learn mathematics content. – Solve problems – Communicate clearly – Reason and explain – Model and use tools – See structure & generalize Standards for Mathematical Practice Standards for Mathematics Content Domains, Clusters, Standards Theme 2. Integrate Practices & Content Moving to Common Practice with the Common Core DeAnn Huinker, Melissa Hedges, & Elizabeth Cutter MSPnet Academy, 6 March 2013 (mspnet.org) Identify what students should understand and be able to do in mathematics. • K-8 Grade Levels • HS Conceptual Categories

  14. Theme 3. Flow & Time of Content Domains Moving to Common Practice with the Common Core DeAnn Huinker, Melissa Hedges, & Elizabeth Cutter MSPnet Academy, 6 March 2013 (mspnet.org)

  15. Theme 4. Ways of Knowing the Mathematics Moving to Common Practice with the Common Core DeAnn Huinker, Melissa Hedges, & Elizabeth Cutter MSPnet Academy, 6 March 2013 (mspnet.org) “Ways of Knowing” the mathematics How is that students need to know, understand, and be able to use the mathematics?

  16. Ways of Knowing… Standard 2.NBT.9 Explainwhy addition and subtraction strategies work, using place value and the properties of operations. NBT = Number and Operations in Base Ten Moving to Common Practice with the Common Core DeAnn Huinker, Melissa Hedges, & Elizabeth Cutter MSPnet Academy, 6 March 2013 (mspnet.org)

  17. Ways of Knowing… Standard 3.OA.3. Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. Moving to Common Practice with the Common Core DeAnn Huinker, Melissa Hedges, & Elizabeth Cutter MSPnet Academy, 6 March 2013 (mspnet.org) OA = Operations and Algebraic Thinking

  18. Survey: Four Themes Moving to Common Practice with the Common Core DeAnn Huinker, Melissa Hedges, & Elizabeth Cutter MSPnet Academy, 6 March 2013 (mspnet.org) Stop and Reflect Which one of these 4 themes most needs more attention in your current work in transitioning to the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics? ☐Theme 1. Examine focus, coherence, and rigor of understanding in the mathematics classroom. ☐Theme 2. Integration of mathematical practices with math content into student learning every day. ☐Theme 3. Rethink the flow and time devoted to each content domain within and across grade levels. ☐Theme 4. Collaborative study of the “ways of knowing” the mathematics in the standards to see what is expected of students.

  26. Digging into the Standards and the Impact on Classroom Instruction

  27. Teacher Perspective Moving to Common Practice with the Common Core DeAnn Huinker, Melissa Hedges, & Elizabeth Cutter MSPnet Academy, 6 March 2013 (mspnet.org) In what ways am I shifting my own classroom practice because of what I’m learning about the Common Core? In what ways am I stepping beyond my own classroom to support other teachers in transitioning to the Common Core?

  28. Initial Impact Moving to Common Practice with the Common Core DeAnn Huinker, Melissa Hedges, & Elizabeth Cutter MSPnet Academy, 6 March 2013 (mspnet.org) Mathematical knowledge for teaching  I deepened my own understandingof mathematics through an intensive study of the Common Core standards. As my own knowledge of the mathematics in the Common Core continues to be enriched, I am better able to deepen my students’ understanding, as well as address their misconceptions. What do I know? Where do I focus as I teach math?

  29. Classroom Impact Moving to Common Practice with the Common Core DeAnn Huinker, Melissa Hedges, & Elizabeth Cutter MSPnet Academy, 6 March 2013 (mspnet.org) Standards for Mathematical Practice 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning .
