Essential Questions

What knowledge do I need about the Common Core Standards to be able to support teachers’ math instruction?

What questions do I ask and what do I look for in the classroom to support the teacher in implementing the Mathematical Practices?

How do I encourage a teacher to reflect on the interaction between the students and mathematics?

Learning Goals:

Participants will:

Develop a deeper understanding of Common Core State Standards through the “unpacking” of standards.

Gain an understanding of Mathematics CCSS Curriculum Documents and Resources

Identify Elements within the Curriculum Documents that Relate to the FFT Domain 1 Components and Elements Identified by PGCPS

Use the FFT 5 Es' Lesson Planner to plan an engaging and rigorous mathematics lesson embedding UDL strategies…

What Does Implementing the Common Core Standards Mean

for Instruction?

Content Standards: WHAT the students are learning

Content vs. PracticeStandards

Behaviors

Mathematical

Concepts

Practice Standards: HOW the students are learning

Implementing the Common Core Content Standards requires…

Unpacking the standards and understanding what is contained within each.

Developing clear learning goals or objectives for MULTIPLE Standards.

Shifting students’ focus from “answer getting” to problem solving and critical thinking.

Connecting standards to prior knowledge of students.

Establishing the classroom environment as a community of learners.

Implementing the Common Core Practice Standards requires…

Unpacking the Standards:

Digging Deep into the Content Standards

Let’s Select a Content Standard

6.RP.3. Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve

real-world and mathematical problems

7.RP.3: Use proportional relationships to

solve multistep ratio and percent problems.

8.EE.4: Perform operations with numbers

expressed in scientific notation, including

problems where both decimals and

scientific notation are used. Use scientific

notation and choose units of appropriate

size…

A.REI.10: Understand that the graph

of an equation in two variables is the

set of all its solutions plotted in the

coordinate plane, often forming a

curve (which could be a line).

Unpacking Questions:

What do students need to know?note the nouns in the standards

What do students need to do?note the verbs in the standards

To what degree do student need to perform?

note the verbs (e.g., Blooms Taxonomies and Webb’s Depth of Knowledge (DOK))

Question: How can I make a lesson or task accessible for ALL students?

Answer: Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
