A Deep Dive into the Secondary Mathematics Curriculum

District Learning DayAugust 5, 2015

Stop and JotChoose one of the following options:• Option 1 – Think about the kitchen

utensils. Explain how the items ensure your success in creating a delicious meal.

• Option 2 – Think about the tools in a tool box. Explain how these items helped you on your last project.

Session ObjectivesKnow• how to access and utilize district instructional maps and resources• how to use district resources to create effective lessons• how the CLIP Connections in the instructional maps support the literacy vision

for the districtUnderstand• the importance of using the resources provided in the district’s mathematics

instructional maps to prepare students for College and Career Readiness• the importance of using the instructional map to pace and ensure the major

work of the grade is taught prior to part one of TNReadyDo• Explore the key components of the instructional map • Facilitate teachers’ use of resources to guide planning and instruction• Use CLIP Connections to align cross-curricular integration of literacy

Norms

• Be present and engaged

• Be respectful

• Monitor “air time”

• Stay focused on students

• Honor the trust- Ideas are being shared for feedback and improvement, not for sharing outside the group

Setting Mathematics Classroom Expectations

What should you expect to see in a math classroom?

Setting Math Classroom Expectations

Principles to Action – Ensuring Mathematical Success for All – Mathematics Teaching Practices

• Establish mathematics goals to focus learning.• Implement tasks that promote reasoning and problem solving.• Use and connect mathematical representations.• Facilitate meaningful mathematical discourse.• Pose purposeful questions.• Build procedural fluency from conceptual understanding.• Support productive struggle in learning mathematics.• Elicit and use evidence of student thinking.

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

Reflection

• Return to your session notes:– Which part of the presentation most resonated with

you and why?– Which key points should serve as our guide as we

continue this work? In pairs or triads, identify one “take away” to include in building-level planning.

• What feedback can you provide on topics discussed in this meeting? (Help us reflect on our own continuous improvement.)

Next Steps

How will we move this work forward?

Next steps and activities for follow up

▪Collaborate with teachers in your grade-level or subject and examine the pacing and resources embedded in your instructional maps.

▪Plan and implement lessons that include the use of tasks and strategies to facilitate student conceptual understanding.

▪Throughout the school year plan to attend mathematics PD offerings that will continue to expand on the work that we’ve done today.
