Slide 3
Why the push for rigorous tasks? To use as a vehicle for
examining student work, developing a shared understanding of
success as defined by the new standards, and determining how to
adjust teacher practice to support student development along the
continuum of college and career readiness. The goal is that,
through the work of implementing a task, teachers will begin to
adjust their curriculum and instruction to help all students move
toward the higher expectations of the Common Core.
Slide 4
Rigorous Curriculum and Tasks for All Students The expectation
is that we: Engage all students in at least one math task aligned
to strategically selected Common Core standards. These tasks should
be embedded in Common Core-aligned curricula and include multiple
entry points for all learners, including students with disabilities
and English language learners.

Slide 6
Standards of Practice Model with mathematics* Mathematically
proficient students can apply the mathematics they know to solve
problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace.
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others The
ability to clearly construct and analyze mathematical arguments,
evaluating and articulating the reasoning behind claims

Where did these tasks originate? NYC educators and national
experts worked throughout the 2010-2011 school year to develop
Common Core-Aligned Tasks embedded in a unit of study. To access
these tasks, go to the: DOE Homepage (schools.nyc.gov) Academics
Common Core Library See Student Work.

Slide 10
Instructional Supports Each Common Core Aligned Task is
accompanied by a variety of instructional supports to assist
educators in integrating the tasks into instruction. Some materials
include : Culminating performance tasks Guidance around use of
Universal Design for Learning* (UDL) principles for each task
Rubrics and/or scoring guides Annotated student work ranging across
levels Unit outlines developed using the Understanding by Design
(UBD) framework, aligned to CCLS Standards Additional assessments
and learning activities (e.g. initial, formative assessments)
Slide 11
How will schools use these tasks? Schools may choose to: use
all or portions of the materials provided to fulfill the 2011-12
Instructional Expectations or to provide guidance when looking at
student work or creating their own tasks and units.

Unit Outline The grade 3 task has a unit outline which contains
11 tasks that build algebraic thinking eventually leading to the
culminating task: Wild Turkeys
Slide 18
How can teachers use this information? Teachers may use this CC
Aligned Task as it is described, integrate parts of it into a
currently exisiting curriculum unit, or use it as a model or
checklist for a currently existing unit on a different topic. More
importantly, how does this help your school and your teachers?

Instructional Supports These instructional supports include
three arcs of related lessons: a sequence of high-level
instructional tasks that address the set of targeted Common Core
State Standards for Mathematical Content and Common Core State
Standards Standards for Mathematical Practice assessed in the first
performance-based assessment related to Ratios and Proportional
Relationships. The tasks are designed to support student learning
in preparation for Assessment #1. Each of the high-level
instructional tasks are accompanied by a lesson guide.
Lesson Guides The lesson guides provide teachers with the
mathematical goals of the lesson, as well as possible student
solution paths, errors and misconceptions for engaging students in
rigorous teaching and learning. Teachers may choose to use them to
support their planning and instruction while teaching the arcs of
lessons.
Slide 31
Questions to ponder Does your current curriculum have tasks,
lessons and assessments aligned with the Common Core? If not, what
assistance will we need to give our teachers to help them align the
tasks and lessons they already have in place?
Slide 32
Slide 33
Supporting implementation of citywide instructional
expectations Identify teachers to help lead with this process.
Analyze tasks to identify gaps. In teams, look closely at resulting
student work to continue the cycle of inquiry, making future
instructional adjustments and communicating lessons learned to
other school staff.
