  1. Math Curriculum Changes Chattahoochee/Northview/Johns Creek Cluster Meeting March 1, 2012 Presented by Dr. Pamela Seda, Director of Secondary Mathematics and Crystal Hilton, High School Math Support Specialist

  2. Common Core State Standards (CCSS ) •Fewer, higher, and clearer academic standards. •Aligned with college and work expectations. •Based on current educational research and evidence. •Benchmarked to high-performing countries and states. •Rigorous standards emphasizing skill and application of content. Video

  3. Two Types of Math Standards • Content Standards • Standards for Mathematical Practice • Both types of standards will be assessed by the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) in the year 2014-2015 • PARCC assessments will have computer-enhanced performance based items.

  4. Content Standards

  5. Standards for Mathematical Practice The Standards for Mathematical Practice are habits of mind that teachers should seek to develop in their students. They describe ways in which mathematically proficient students should engage with the subject matter throughout the elementary, middle and high school years.

  6. Standards for Mathematical Practice 1. Make sense of complex 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. (CCSS, 2010)

  7. CCGPS • How will changing to the Common Core Georgia Performance Standards improve student achievement? It won’t if instruction doesn’t change!

  8. Can you hear me now? Verizon customer (George) was travelling to Canada and asked the cost for downloading data Verizon rep said it would be “.002 cents per kilobyte” How much should George be charged for downloading 35,893 kilobytes of data?

  9. What’s wrong with this picture? Verizon Math Fail Video

  10. Shallow knowledge does not transfer What’s the Problem? IF I see “$.” THEN say “cents” $.01 is read as “one cent” The rate is “point oh oh two per kilobyte cents”

  11. Grade 6 GPS CCGPS MCC.6.RP.1 Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratiolanguage to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. MCC.6.RP.3 Use ratioand rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations. MCC.6.RP.3d Useratioreasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities. M6A1. Students will understand the concept of ratioand use it to represent quantitative relationships.

  12. Grade 6 GPS CCGPS MCC.6.RP.1 Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. MCC.6.RP.3 Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations. MCC.6.RP.3d Useratioreasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities. M6A1. Students will understand the concept of ratio and use it to represent quantitative relationships.

  13. Concept Overview Tape Diagrams Tape diagrams are best used when the two quantities have the same units. They can be used to solve problems and also to highlight the multiplicative relationship between the quantities.

  14. Standards for Mathematical Practice 1. Make sense of complex problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. (CCSS, 2010)

  15. What does this mean for Fulton County Schools? Our instructional framework will not change. We will still use the 7-steps of direct instruction: • Communication of Learning Intentions • Communication of Success Criteria • Building Commitment and Engagement • Teacher Presentation • Guided Practice • Closure • Independent Practice

  16. HS Math Course Name Changes Quality Core Curriculum (QCC) Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) Common Core Georgia Performance Standards (CCGPS

  17. CCGPS Math • Only grades K – 9 for 2012 – 2013 school year • Students who began on GPS will continue on GPS • Students who fail GPS Algebra, may take CCGPS Coordinate Algebra next year. • Not adopting textbooks right away (textbook companies are still in the process of developing materials aligned to Common Core) • Teacher and parents will be provided electronic resources that clearly define student learning targets.
