Andrea and Diana’s Money
Andrea and Diana each had the same
amount of money. Andrea spent $58
to fill the car up with gas for a roadtrip. Diana spent $37 buying snacks
for the trip. Afterward, Andrea had 1/4
as much money as Diana had. How
much money did each have at first?
The CCSS in Mathematics have two sections:
Standards for Mathematical CONTENT
and
Standards for Mathematical PRACTICE


The Standards for Mathematical Content
are what students should understand,
know, and be able to apply.
The Standards for Mathematical Practice
are what students should do.
 Mathematical “Habits of Mind”
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in
solving them
6. Attend to precision
OVERARCHING HABITS OF MIND
CCSS Mathematical Practices
REASONING AND EXPLAINING
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the
reasoning of others
MODELING AND USING TOOLS
4. Model with mathematics
5. Use appropriate tools strategically
SEEING STRUCTURE AND
GENERALIZING
7. Look for and make use of structure
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated
reasoning

 Student engagement strategies
Self-Evaluation

Where are you on this matrix?
What SMP’s are you already overtly
fostering in students?
 Are you getting them to the initial,
intermediate, or advanced stage?


What SMP’s do you really not address at
this point?
Make a Plan
Pick 1 to 2 SMP’s that you want to focus on
in the next month or so.
 What are you going to do to support
students in developing those standards?
 Where are you (as the teacher) starting
from?
 What can you do to help “move” students
to the next stage on the matrix?
Share

Share your plan at your table.
What are your strategies and ideas?
 What are your concerns?

Assessments
 What
are various ways in which we
assess:
 what students know?
 what students understand?
Assessment and Learning
 “Assessment
should be an integral
part of teaching. It is the mechanism
whereby teachers can learn how
students think about mathematics as
well as what students are able to
accomplish.”
Assessment and Learning
 “Assessment
should allow all
students to show what they know,
understand and can do.”
(Cockcroft Report 1982)
Assessment and Learning
 “Assessment
for learning is one of
the most powerful ways of improving
learning and raising standards“
(Black and Wiliam 1998)
Assessment
 What
are characteristics of “good”
assessment?
According to the Shell Centre, high
quality assessment has:
 Curriculum balance
 Curriculum value
 Fitness for purpose
Formative Assessments
Assessment for learning
Occurs continuously in classroom both
within and between lessons
 Used to adjust teaching strategies
 Provides students with useful and
meaningful feedback

Formative Assessments
 Focus:
To determine what learning
comes next

Examples:






Feedback
Open questioning
Exit tickets
Observations
Discussions
Ungraded classwork/homeworks
Summative Assessments
Assessment of learning
Occur within, between, and among
instructional units
 Used to identify strengths and gaps in
curriculum and instruction
 Curriculum may be refined
 Teachers may modify instruction

Summative Assessments
Focus: To determine:
 how student groups are progressing
 how well program is working

Examples





Graded class work or homework
Quizzes
End of unit tests
Midterms
District benchmarks
Large Scale Assessments
Assessment of learning
Frequently high stakes
 Examine trends over time
 Used to develop long-term evaluation of
curriculum and programs
 Used to monitor school site, district and
state progress

Large Scale Assessments
 Focus:
To determine how schools,
districts and states are progressing
over time

Examples:




End of course exams
CST
NAEP
SAT/ACT Exams
AP Exams
Assessment

Think of how and when you assess your
students.

Which ones are assessments for learning?

Which ones are assessments of learning?
Assessment
“What a difference a word makes”
Read the article
Record
 1 thing with which you agree
 1 thing with which you might argue
 1 thing to which you aspire
 1 Aha!
Sharing
Go around the group and share one of the
following:
 the thing with which you agree
 the thing with which you might argue
 the thing to which you aspire
 your Aha!
Pick one thing from your group to share
with the whole group
Large Scale Assessment
WYTIWYG!
Large Scale Assessment
What you test is
what you get!
Goals of Assessment
“We must ensure that tests measure
what is of value, not just what is easy
to test. If we want students to
investigate, explore, and discover,
assessment must not measure just
mimicry mathematics.”

So what are the classroom implications if
we are assessing students in these ways?
Multiple Representations

Look at the standards for your grade
level.

Which standards clearly imply that
students need to be familiar with a variety
of models, representations, and/or
strategies?

Topic:
 What is the big idea that you will be
addressing in this unit?
Unit Planning Questions
Content Standards:
 Which common core standards (or parts
of standards) will be addressed in this
unit?
Use place value understanding and
properties of operations to add and
subtract.
5. Fluently add and subtract within 100
using strategies based on place value,
properties of operations, and/or the
relationship between addition and
subtraction.
6. Add up to four two-digit numbers using
strategies based on place value and
properties of operations.
7. Add and subtract within 1000, using
concrete models or drawings and strategies
based on place value, properties of
operations, and/or the relationship between
addition and subtraction; relate the strategy
to a written method. Understand that in
adding or subtracting three-digit numbers,
one adds or subtracts hundreds and
hundreds, tens and tens, ones and ones; and
sometimes it is necessary to compose or
decompose tens or hundreds.
7.1 Use estimation strategies to make
reasonable estimates in problem
solving. CA
8. Mentally add 10 or 100 to a given
number 100–900, and mentally subtract 10
or 100 from a given number 100–900.
9. Explain why addition and subtraction
strategies work, using place value and the
properties of operations.3
Explanations may be supported by
