  1. Iowa CoreMathematics Standards:Focusing on Fewer Topics and Learning More Laura Fricke, Jan Kloberdanz, and Dr. Susan Pecinovsky

  2. Math Pilot Team • 2008-2009 – Materials Adoption Committee • Committee of teachers • One from each building and each grade level • Curriculum materials replacement • very old • no curricular cycle • Iowa Basic Skills – low performance • Investigations = Standards • Team has evolved to Elementary Math Leadership Team • Heart and soul of elementary mathematics curriculum • A team with courage!

  3. The Way It Used to Be • enVision Math – drove the curriculum • Previous standards – locally developed • Coverage and spiraling back • Pacing guides designed to support enVision Math • Grade level islands • Grade level growth

  4. Data After Four Years Iowa Assessment Scores: 6th grade: • Proficiency56%, did not make growth goal 5th grade: • Proficiency 68%, did make growth goal

  5. The Problem Clearly Defined •Elementary Math Leadership Team •Data discussions across the grades

  6. Our Vision • Prioritize standards for critical learning • Align enVision Math lessons • Realign lessons for which there are nostandards • Identify and assess mastery content tosupport students’ learning of upper grade-level math

  7. The Way It Is Now… • enVision Math – supports the curriculum • Content is aligned to Iowa Core • Focus (314 lessons out of 960, 33%, realigned) • Pacing guides designed to support instruction • Interdependence among grade levels • Pilot year growth in grade 5 almost 6%

  8. Our Process, The Products Our Process: Prioritize IC Standards Align enVision Math lessons intoprioritized standards Realign lessons for which there are no standards (focus) Identify and assess mastery content (coherence and mastery) The Products: 1. Grade 5 IC Standards, Prioritized (working copy) Content Emphasis by Cluster K-8 2. Grade 5 Alignment Guide and Pacing Guide 3. Realigned Contentand Transitional Content Tables 4. Mastery Content TableandIowa Core Mastery Content

  9. What We Learned FOLLOW THE IOWA CORE: Prioritize and align Keep content - Paperclips and 5th grade fractions Let go of content – Greatest Common Factor Research current curriculum first Jason Zimba and the Design Principles Don’t Assume! Letting go of what is familiar is difficult. Even master teachers will need coaching.
