OUTCOMES The participants will: • analyze an MSDE lesson plan to determine how UDL and the Standards for Mathematical Practice are addressed. • develop an understanding of the terms “Practice Forward Task” and “Integrative Task.” • watch a demonstration of the Curriculum Management System. • clarify their understanding of the EEA Project requirements.
Warm Up Outcome The participants will make a list of the pieces of information that should be included in a lesson plan.
Warm Up • Rally Table • What information would you include in a lesson plan?
MSDE Lesson Plan 3 Categories • Background Information • Learning Experience • Supporting Information
MSDE Lesson Plan Components • Background Information • Content/Course • Unit • Essential Questions/Enduring Understandings Addressed in • the Lesson • Standards Addressed in This Lesson • Lesson Topic • Relevance/Connections • Student Outcomes • Prior Knowledge Needed to Support This Learning • (Vertical Alignment) • Method for determining student readiness for the lesson
MSDE Lesson Plan Components Learning Experience
MSDE Lesson Plan Components • Supporting Information • Interventions/Enrichments • Students with Disabilities/Struggling • Learners • English Language Learners • Gifted and Talented • Materials • Technology • Resources
Outcome The participants will analyze an MSDE lesson plan to determine how UDL and the Standards for Mathematical Practice are addressed.
Lesson Plan Analysis • Focus Questions • In what ways do the activities in this lesson plan support the proficiencies described in the Standards for Mathematical Practice? • How do the activities address the needs of all learners? • How do the activities support the development of the content standards that the lesson plan targets?
Lesson Plan Analysis • Summary • In what ways do the activities in this lesson plan support the proficiencies described in the Standards for Mathematical Practice?
Lesson Plan Analysis • Summary • 2. How do the activities address the needs of all learners?
Lesson Plan Analysis • Summary • 3. How do the activities support the development of the content standards that the lesson plan targets?
Analysis – FINAL NOTE!!! • FINAL NOTE!!! • Any pre-made lesson plan should be adapted to meet the needs of the students in yourclassroom.
Jump for Joy… Take A Break!!!!!
Outcome The participants will become familiar : • Practice Forward Task • Integrative Task
PARCC Assessment • Two considerations in the design of the PARCC assessments. • Some items will: • Measure multiple standards • Connect content and practices
Let’s Do a Little Math School officials want to build a new football field that will be 120 yards by 53 yards. However, the owner of a local nursery has donated enough grass seed to plant 81,000 square feet of grass. Since they have more than enough grass seed for the football field, school officials would like to plant a uniformly wide border around the field. What are the dimensions of a rectangular area with a uniformly wide border which has an area of 81,000 square feet ?
x Total area = 81,000 square feet= 9,000 square yards Solution 53 yards 120 yards x x The dimensions of the rectangular area
“Let’s Do a Little Math”Evaluating the Problem • Evaluate the problem for the mathematical content that the problem assesses by answering the following questions. • To complete this problem successfully : • Which mathematical concepts must a • student understand? • Which mathematical skills must a • student be able to use?
“Let’s Do a Little Math”Evaluating the Problem • Which behaviors described • in the Standards for Mathematical • Practice would come into play as • a student solves this problem?
Practice Forward Task A task that is intentionally designed to elicit one or more Standards for Mathematical Practice in connection to specified content standards. PARCC Definition
Frayer Model for Practice Forward Task
Definition (in your own words) A type of math task that will appear on the PARCC assessments that will provide evidence as to how well a student can use the math practices. Practice Forward Task
Facts/Characteristics • Will be tied to content • Would be difficult to complete • without engaging in the • practices • Can assess more than one • practice at a time Practice Forward Task
Practice Forward Task • Example • A physics professor says “Of course it is easy to see that • when .” • Give a possible explanation in terms of the structure of the expression on the left why the professor might say that.

What are the dimensions of a rectangular area with a uniformly wide border which has an area of 81,000 square feet ? What characteristics does this problem display that would allow it to be classified as a “Practice Forward Task?”

Integrative Task A task that may best be coded to a cluster heading, domain or grade or course rather than a specific standard. PARCC Definition

Integrative Task • Conceptual Category: Number • Domain : Quantities • Standards • N.Q.1 Use units as a way to understand problems and to • guide the solution of multi-step problems; choose • and interpret units consistently in formulas; choose • and interpret the scale and the origin in graphs and • data displays. ★ • N.Q.2 Define appropriate quantities for the purpose • of descriptive modeling. ★ • N.Q.3 Choose a level of accuracy appropriate to limitations • on measurement when reporting quantities. ★
Integrative Task • Conceptual Category: Algebra • Domain : Creating Equations • Standards • A.CED.1 Create equations and inequalities in one variable • and use them to solve problems. Include equations • arising from linear and quadratic functions, and • simple rational and exponential functions. • A.CED.3 Represent constraints by equations or inequalities, • and by systems of equations and/or inequalities, and • interpret solutions as viable or non-viable options in a • modeling context.
Integrative Task Conceptual Category: Algebra Domain :Reasoning with Equations and Inequalities Standards A.REI.4 Solve quadratic equations in one variable. A.REI.4b. Solve quadratic equations by inspection (e.g., for x2 = 49), taking square roots, completing the square, the quadratic formula and factoring, as appropriate to the initial form of the equation.
