Goals for Today Revisit the 3 Standards Shifts in math Look at the Mathematical Practices Examine some instructional strategies
3 Shifts in Mathematics Coherence Focus Rigor
Focus 2 – 4 topics focused on deeply in each grade Fewer big ideas to be covered Allows more time for students to understand the concepts Strive for understanding not coverage
Shift 1: Focus Multiplication Grade 3 New Math Standards GLE • M3.1.4 Model multiplication as repeated addition and grouping objects; model division as “sharing equally” and grouping objects • [3] E&C-5, [3]E&C-6 • Represent and solve problems involving multiplication. • 3.OA.1, 3.OA.2, 3.OA.3, 3.OA.4 • Understand properties of multiplication and the relationship between multiplication and division. • 3.OA.5, 3.OA.6, • Multiply and divide up to 100. • 3.OA.7 • Solve problems involving the four operations and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic. • 3.OA.8, 3.OA.9 • Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic. • 3.NBT.3 Digging Deeper
Coherence systematic or logical connection or consistency (Merriam-Webster) logical or natural connection or consistency, logical interconnectedness (The Free Dictionary) http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/coherence
Coherence Concepts logically connected form one grade to the next Concepts linked to other major topics within each grade Deeper learning decreases the need for re-teaching topics each year
Shift 2: Coherence Grade Level 5 2 3 4 K 1 K.OA.1 2.OA.1 3.OA.1, 3.OA.2 1.OA.1 4.OA.1 5.OA.1 Craig has $20. He buys 6 squirt guns for $2 each. How much money does he have left? 5x7 = 7x5
Shift 3: Rigor • Conceptual understanding • Application to real-world situations • Fluency with arithmetic With equal intensity
Rigor Conceptual understanding of key concepts. Foster students’ ability to access concepts from a number of perspectives. Math is seen as more than a set of mnemonics or discrete procedures.

A set of football games is to be organized in a “round-robin” fashion, i.e., every participating team plays a game against every other team once and only once. If 36 games are totally played, how many teams participated? http://www.syvum.com/teasers/ Solution
“When I add 4 times my age 4 years from now to 5 times my age 5 years from now, I get 10 times my current age. How old will I be 5 years from now? ” http://www.syvum.com/teasers/ Solution
Standards for Mathematical Practice • 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.

Sidewalk Patterns in Prague A Performance Task
Performance Tasks Demonstrate mastery Organized approach using multiple strategies Fosters self-checking Explanation of mathematical reasoning Utilizes Mathematical Practices http://insidemathematics.org/index.php/exemplary-lessons-integrating-practice-standards
Start with an Idea Real-world situations High interest Relevant
Clarify the Task Choose a product Define the purpose and audience Identify Content Standards and Mathematical Practices Create clear expectations and goals
Prepare for Success Prepare questions to assess knowledge to help struggling students Identify prerequisite skills necessary for success
Assess the Task Were the goals met? Did the product reflect mastery? Did the task work as intended?

Brown University (2013, August 5). New explanation for odd double-layer Martian craters
Resources Illustrative Mathematics Although Alaska did not adopt the Common Core State Standards, there are many Common Core resources that can be helpful to Alaskan teachers.
