• What? Meet and Greet• Why? Friendly greeting to get the

blood flowing• How? When music starts:

– Get up and walk around– Say Good Morning to everyone that you

make eye contact to– When the music stops, sit back at your

seat

Road Map

•Why Common Core Standards?

•Introduction to Mathematics CCSS

•What now?Objective:

* gain an awareness of the Common Core State Standards

in Mathematics (K-6)

* understand the shifts that will occur in teaching Mathematics

Teaching Math is like this picture because…..

Who created the standards?

External and State feedback teams included:– K-12 math teachers– University & graduate

mathematics faculty– State curriculum and assessments

experts– Researchers– National organizations

6 Shifts in MathematicsDocument in Hand

Digging into the Shifts

• Why? To understand the shifts in instruction that will be happening

• How? – As a group, come up with one sentence that

summarizes the shift(s) that was assigned to your group.

– Create a visual or icon that relates to your shift.

– Take notes so that all have the same information

Shift Assignments

- Shifts 1 and 2

- Shifts 3 and 4

- Shifts 5

- Shifts 6

Jigsaw Activity

• Why? Understand all 6 Shifts

• How? – Form groups that consist of at least one of

each shape.– Beginning with share the summary

sentence and the visual that was create. Be sure to explain why your group decided on this visual.

Mathematical Practices

• Describe mathematical “habits of mind”

• Standards for mathematical proficiency: reasoning, problem solving, modeling, decision making, and engagement

• Connect with content standards in each grade

Mathematical Practices

Why? To read and understand what habits will be expected of our students

How?– Read silently Mathematics: Standards for

Mathematical Practice (independently)– Highlight key phrases for each practice– With your group, create a picture of a person

that shows what a mathematical student will look like in relation to the Mathematical Practices

– Be read to share out

How to Read the Standards

– Domains: overarching ideas that connect topics across the grades– Clusters: illustrate progression of increasing complexity from grade to grade – Standards: define what students should know and be able to do at each grade
