The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With students

fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.

TEACHERS share experiences & best practices

CCSS Statement: Our students are at a unique point in their elementary education. They are making the jump into the upper elementary grades, and with that comes an increased level of responsibility and independence. Third graders not only become more responsible for their own work and behavior, but they are beginning to think more critically and abstractly about challenging concepts and skills. We recognize that 3rd graders should read and write fluently; therefore, students are challenged to analyze their reading material and to write stories.

STARRING

Depth and Rigor Statement We are asking students to mathematize, to think like mathematicians, to look at numbers before they calculate, to think rather than to perform rote procedures. Children can and do construct their own strategies, and when they are allowed to make sense of calculations in their own ways, they understand better…. Allow for the productive struggle, the grappling with the unfamiliar, the contentious discourse, for on the other side of frustration lies understanding and the confidence that comes from “doing it myself!”

8 DOMAINS:

The Standards: Skills and Knowledge- “What I Should Know and Be Able to Do”Mathematical Practices-

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.4. Model with mathematics.5. Use appropriate tools strategically.6. Attend to precision.7. Look for and make use of structure.8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Produced by: “Today’s best state standards as well as international models-from highperforming countries, education research, and the insights of professional mathematicians …”(GADOE); NEA, AFT, NCTM

Problem Solving: performance tasks that show/explain student workmultiple ways to solve show mathematical thinking with numbers, pictures and words

It is important to understand that mathematics is to be taught through problem solving. That is, problem-based tasks or activities are the vehicle through which the standards are taught. (GADOE)

Reaching All Learning Modalities/Styles: math games, EXEMPLARS, student/teacher conferences, hands-on activities, class discussions, NUMBER TALKS, mentor texts, modeling, anchor charts, math journals, project work, computer programs: First in Math, IXL

(1) Limited or minimum progress towards achievement of the standard

(2) Progressing towards achievement of the standard(3) Consistently and INDEPENDENTLY achieves the standard(4) Consistently and independently achieves the standard with evidence of exceeding the standard (provides extra information)

FLEXIBLE GROUPING whole group, small group, independent work

(student learning profile changes)groups change

A HALLMARK PRESENTATION Sometimes students work with like-readiness peers, sometimes with mixed-readiness groups, sometimes with students who have similar interests, sometimes with students who have different interests, sometimes with peers who learn as they do, sometimes

randomly, and often with the class as a whole(Tomlinson, 1995, 1999)

Flexible grouping allows students to see themselves in a variety of contexts and aids the teacher in "auditioning" students in different settings and with different kinds of work (Tomlinson, 1995, 1999)

Purpose- to assure the healthy development of every child so that each one has the knowledge, skills and resiliency to be successful in a rapidly changing world. Goal- engage all teachers, administrators, students and families in working together as a learning community that is dedicated to caring and support, active participation and positive expectations for all students.
