2010-2011 LISD Math Curriculum

Updates

Who is the NCTM?

• They are the public voice of mathematics education supporting teachers to ensure equitable mathematics learning of the highest quality for all students through vision, leadership, professional development and research.

• Curriculum Focal Points are the most important mathematical topics for each grade level. They comprise related ideas, concepts, skills, and procedures that form the foundation for understanding and using mathematics and lasting learning. Curriculum Focal Points have been integral in the revision of many state math standards...

• http://www.nctmmedia.org/cfp/focal_points_by_grade.pdf

NCTM composed at least 3 “focal points” for each grade level

They relate to each of the following concepts:• numbers & operations• geometry• measurement• algebra They all make a connection with data analysis

• Texas responds to the focal points and connects them to our TEKS.

Leander ISD also responded and rearranged our Essential Units of Study to match up with TEA’s focal points.

Vocabulary Recap • Introduced

– Non-bolded denotes vocabulary being introduced in that grade level

– Some words are considered “introduced” if they are taught for the first time in that objective or specific unit

– Example: number line is a vocabulary word that is introduced in Obj.1 (Kindergarten) however number line also shows up on Obj.3 (3rd grade) as an introduced word. It shows up this way in 3rd grade because it is the first time they are seeing fractions on a number line.

• Ongoing–Bolded denotes

vocabulary already taught or introduced (previous grade levels)

BASIC FACTS

District data shows that basic facts scores are low in addition, subtraction,

multiplication, and division.
