Goals for Today

Revisit the 3 Standards Shifts in math

Look at the Mathematical Practices

Examine some instructional strategies

4

3 Shifts in Mathematics

RigorCoherenceFocus

5

Focus2 – 4 topics focused on deeply in each grade

Fewer big ideas to be covered

Allows more time for students to understand the concepts

Strive for understanding not coverage

6

Shift 1: Focus Multiplication Grade 3

New Math Standards• Represent and solve problems

involving multiplication.– 3.OA.1, 3.OA.2, 3.OA.3, 3.OA.4

• Understand properties of multiplication and the relationship between multiplication and division.– 3.OA.5, 3.OA.6,

• Multiply and divide up to 100.– 3.OA.7

• Solve problems involving the four operations and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic.– 3.OA.8, 3.OA.9

• Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.– 3.NBT.3

GLE• M3.1.4 Model

multiplication as repeated addition and grouping objects; model division as “sharing equally” and grouping objects– [3] E&C-5, [3]E&C-6

Digging Deeper

Coherence

7

systematic or logical connection or consistency (Merriam-Webster)

logical or natural connection or consistency,logical interconnectedness (The Free Dictionary)

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/coherence

Coherence

Concepts logically connected form one grade to the next

Concepts linked to other major topics within each grade

Deeper learning decreases the need for re-teaching topics each year

Shift 2: Coherence

Represent addition and subtractions with objects.

Solve single step addition

and subtraction

word problems.

Estimate and solve multistep

addition and subtraction

word problems.

Multiplication (repeated addition)Division

(repeated subtraction)

Recognize multiplication

as a comparison

(commutative property).

Use parentheses to

construct numerical

expressions and evaluate expressions with these symbols.

Craig has $20. He buys 6 squirt guns for $2 each. How much money does he have left?

5x7 = 7x5

Algebra

Shift 3: Rigor

• Conceptual

understanding• Application to real-world

situations• Fluency with arithmetic

11

With equal intensity

Rigor

12

Conceptual understanding of key concepts.

Foster students’ ability to access concepts from a number of perspectives.

Math is seen as more than a set of mnemonics or discrete procedures.

A set of football games is to be organized in a “round-robin” fashion, i.e., every participating team plays a game against every other team once and only once.

If 36 games are totally played, how many teams participated?

Standards for Mathematical Practice

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. 16

Illustrative Mathematics

Although Alaska did not adopt the Common Core State Standards, there are many Common Core resources that can be helpful to Alaskan teachers.
