Bridges in MathematicsDr. Julie Eastburn
May 13, 2019
Planning
• 2017-2018: Reviewed What’s currently working - What needs to be improved
• 2018-2019 Reviewed programs to meet our needs:
• Ed Reports
Bridges Ready and iReady
GO Math Eureka
Everyday Math My Math
EnVision Math in Focus
Planning
• Reviewed all materials and evaluated 25 areas including: • Math Content/Pedagogy
• Assessment
• Technology
• Two programs emerged at the top:• Bridges in Mathematics
• Ready and iReady Mathematics
2018-2019 Pilot Program
• Bridges in Mathematics: 31 teachers grades K-5• 80 minutes a day
• Ready/iReady: 37 teachers grades 1-5• 60 minutes per day plus a minimum of 45 minutes a week in iReady
• Grade level implementation for collaboration in most cases
• Met monthly to discuss implementation, PD needs, and student/teacher experiences
Evaluation of Program Effectiveness
• Teacher feedback
• Parent survey
• Student achievement towards PA Core Standards as measured on:• Exact Path Grades 1-2
• CDT (Classroom Diagnostic Tool) Grades 3-5• January full CDT
• March Diagnostic Categories
• Statistically significant results
Implementation Plan
• Implementation Workshops offered in June and Early August• Teachers who attend will work with pilot teachers on August 27-28 to plan
first units
• All other teachers will be trained on August 27-28
• Election Day In-Service will be used for PD needs
• Math Specialists and District Coordinator will be assisting teachers throughout implementation
Key Components
• Bridges in Mathematics• 60 minute daily lesson
• Problem Centered whole group, small group, and independent work
• Number Corner• 20 minute daily lesson
• Quick daily lesson to promote procedural fluency and conceptual understanding
Bridges in Mathematics Components
• Problem and Investigation• Teacher poses problem and students think independently, pair to share ideas,
and then strategies are shared as a class to analyze and evaluate
• Workplaces• Centers which provide on-going practice either individually or with partners
• Repeated throughout a few months
• Allow for differentiation
Number Corner Components
• Calendar Grid
• Calendar Collector
• Computational Fluency
• Number Line
What is it like in the classroom?
● Increasing confidence in sharing of strategies○ Inclusive of all levels
● Program format keeps all students engaged○ Whole Group ⇒ Partner ⇒ Individual
● Time to “get down in the mud”!
Benefits -- more than just positives!
● Working collaboratively with team - sharing equally○ Slides○ Planning WIN Time better supported
○ Focus on Math Language - for all!
● Pushes US to become better math teachers!○ No longer focusing on algorithms - process-driven
● Lessons feature multiple skills● Built-in data sheets / Item Analysis● Games to reinforce foundational skills● Bumping up the RIGOR!
○ Higher level questioning○ Deeper level of understanding of how student reached answer
● Success for visual learners / more hands-on learning● Number Corner - preteaching and targeting skills monthly - key bonus!
Many skills…..one lesson!
● Elapsed Time● ...to Fractions
● ...to Adding Fractions and
Mixed Numbers● ...to Creating a Line Plot
● To Analyzing Data● Range, Median, Mode
What fraction of the entire group of students were in the pool for ¾ hour?
What fraction of the entire group of students were in the pool for exactly 1 ½ hours/
What fraction of the entire group of students were in the pool at least 2 hours?
What fraction of the entire group of students were more than 1 ½ hours?
What fraction of the entire group of students were in the pool for more than 1 hour but less than 2 hours?
Follow-up Discussion:
Program Cost
• Total cost K-5 - $389,376.21
• Included in program cost• Teacher materials
• Student materials
• Home connections
• Teacher training
Learning Management System (LMS)
Rationale for an LMS
• One-stop shop for students – all courses in one location
• One-stop shop for parents to view course information
• Gain experience in using LMS for transition to post-secondary
Canvas LMS (Instructure)
• Committee explored several options and reached consensus on Canvas.
• Canvas currently used for virtual courses at high school.
• District can leverage Canvas for other activities such as teacher professional development, storing/sharing common formative assessments, etc.
• One-year agreement gives access to all students in grades 7-12 and all teachers in grades K-12 - $23,199.00.
