Our Goal

We want the students to have a balance of

• Being challenged

• Reaching mastery at grade level skills

• Receiving the fundamentals in each grade level in order to be successful in high school and beyond

• Igniting a passion and enthusiasm for math!

Page 3: Holy Rosary School Math Curriculum Presentation

What are we doing at HRS in the math department?

• Math Data Committee (formed in 2010)

• Department Meetings

• Staff Meetings

• Curriculum Mapping

• Updated Curriculum

• Professional Development Trainings

• Grade Level Collaboration

• Weekly Math-Specific Study Halls for 5th-8th

What are the Common Core Standards?

• Common Core Standards: The Common Core State Standards describe the knowledge and skills in English Language Arts and Mathematics that students will need when they graduate, whatever their choice of college or career. The standards are based on the best national and international standards, giving our students a competitive advantage in the global economy. This state-led effort is coordinated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO).

When Will These Be in Place?

• OSPI and its partners will oversee a four-phase implementation strategy. Phase one began in 2011-12 with developing awareness of what the standards are and how they differ from existing standards. By 2014-15 these standards will be fully implemented and student achievement will be measured by a new assessment system.

Kindergarten - Bridges

Critical Areas of Focus for Kindergarten

• With full implementation of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics in Kindergarten, instructional time should focus on two critical areas:

(1) representing, relating, and operating on whole numbers, initially with sets of objects; and (2) describing shapes and space.

More learning time in Kindergarten should be devoted to number than to other topics.

Grade 1 - Bridges

Critical Areas of Focus for Grade 1

• With full implementation of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics in Grade 1, instructional time should focus on four critical areas:

(1) developing understanding of addition, subtraction, and strategies for addition and subtraction within 20; (2) developing understanding of whole number relationships and place value, including grouping in tens and ones; (3) developing understanding of linear measurement and measuring lengths as iterating length units; and(4) reasoning about attributes of, and composing and decomposing geometric shapes.

Data Collection

One of our goals from our math self-study was to use data to drive our instruction.

We have reached out to local Catholic schools and public middle schools with the purpose of:

• Comparing standardized test data

• Learning about different curriculums

• Finding out more about accelerated programs

We are also comparing our data to the national average.

Page 25: Holy Rosary School Math Curriculum Presentation

Comparing our ITBS Data vs. the National Averages

• Group Common Core Domain Display• This measures the percent correct in each category at

HRS vs. the percent correct in the nation.

• Group Longitudinal Display• This displays the grade equivalent, which describes the

grade equivalent on a continuum. For ex., a GE of 5.4 means that the group scored at the same level as a typical group at the end of the 4th month of grade 5.

• Proficiency Level Display• This shows the number of students below, at, and

exceeding proficiency levels.

Comparing our Data vs. Public Schools

This data is posted on the Seattle public schools and Bellevue public schools website.

We take the ITBS, and the public schools take the MPS. The tests are different; however, both tests can be broken down into “below,” “at,” or “above” proficiency at grade level skills.

Seattle Public Schools:6th, 7th and 8th graders proficient on the math exam 2011: 67%

7th graders exceeding standard on the state math test: 34%(This shows Algebra readiness for 8th grade.)

Madison Middle School:6th, 7th and 8th graders proficient on the math exam 2011: 65%

Student qualifying for APP or Spectrum: 7%

Information from our High Schools

In order to better track our alums’ success after graduation, we reached out to our high schools to get feedback and data about our students’ progress through high school.

This is some of the data that we have received back.

Page 37: Holy Rosary School Math Curriculum Presentation

How are our alums doing at your school?

“I am actively involved in math placements and have observed several factors during my six years here at [this school]. The HRS graduates, as a whole, are very well-prepared for success in [our] math program. HRS is, in fact, one of our top feeder schools as far as the math skills and preparedness of our incoming freshmen. (This includes whether the HRS alums test into Honors Advanced Algebra or are in the general Algebra program). In addition, year-after-year, HRS alums score at the top of our Honors Advanced Algebra placement test. The HRS 8th grade team is also very accurate and thorough in its recommendations for individual math placements each year.”

Page 38: Holy Rosary School Math Curriculum Presentation

Freshman Math Placements

Before students enter high school, they take a placement test for math. There are typically 3 classes that a student can be placed into.

Each school has a different percentage of students placed into each program.

We have the data from many of the high schools.

Our graduating 8th graders place very well in their high school placements.

Page 39: Holy Rosary School Math Curriculum Presentation

A Look Ahead

In our hunt to continue to meet the needs of our students at HRS, our programs will continue to evolve and change.

There will be a spring meeting to announce if we have any curriculum additions/updates/changes in the following year.
