4 th Grade Jan. 22 Grant Purpose and Background Partnerships Purpose of this Training Target: Increase content knowledge of identified Tennessee Education Standards for Math as measured through a STEM challenge. Introductions and Training Purpose Teams Bathrooms/Breaks/Cell Phones Agenda STEM Materials Training Teams and Logistics Please take the time to visit the site later Contact us if you have any questions or need help. MSP Wikispace Your Source for All Resources You will need these materials: A copy of the Instructional Alignment Chart, K-12 Vertical Progression book, composition notebook (for notes) and a sentence strip for the group Using the Instructional Alignment Chart identify the vertical alignment of the targeted standards. Identify the implications across the grade levels Discuss with your team modify if needed. Choose one implication to share with the whole group and write on a sentence strip. Vertical Alignment What works v. what doesnt work Individually take notes on your charts Then as a team, come up with one best practice to record on a sentence strip. Be prepared to share with the entire group. Current v. Best Practices 1.What is the value of reviewing the vertical alignment? 2.Name one instructional practice that you will use in your classroom and why? Think About It Fourth Grade Challenge: Hazardous Roads There has been a drop in the temperature overnight and the the roads have become very icy. The school buses are having trouble stopping, especially in the hilly areas. Several of the bus stops are at the bottom of a steep hill. There are many students who wait at the bottom of the hill for the bus to pick them up. How can the bus safely stop at the bottom of the icy hill to pick up the students? The transportation committee has asked for students to create a plan to slow down the bus while it is traveling down the hill. The goal is to get the bus to stop safely at the bus stop. Challenge Demonstration: Hazardous Roads Icy cookie sheet Toy Truck Distance moved by toy truck Stacked books What will happen when the truck goes down the icy slope? Targeted Standards Math 4. NF.C.7 Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or > > Use a Number Line Multiple Representations Think About It 1.This lesson focused on decimals less than 1 how could base ten blocks represent decimals larger than 1? 2.Why is it important for students to be able to draw or represent with a place value mat, number line or base ten blocks? Target: Compare decimals using a number line. Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7bj_LUIY7Y Can you tell who won from these results? Decimal Number Line Look at number line and endpoints. Estimate where you think would go on this number line. IN YOUR CLASSROOM continue with this activity. Each team has 1 decimal on green construction paper. Discuss with your team where your decimal would be on the number line. Make sure that all team members know. Place your decimals on the number line.

Can we tell who won now? Target: Compare decimals using a number line. Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7bj_LUIY7Y Exit Cards Draw this number line in your notebooks. Label the endpoints based on these decimals (18.75, 18.62, 18.50, 18.1) Place the decimals in the correct place on the number line. Think About It 1.What other scenarios or context could be used to show students how decimals are used in the real world? 2.What other manipulatives or representations could be used to compare decimals?
