Karma Maples

Intended Outcomes:Align a current unit with Common Core

Complete a rigor chart on a current unit

Develop more unit activities to fill in rigor chart

Revise unit based on completed rigor chart and observations and reflections

Submit revised unit (don’t forget common core labels ) and completed rigor chart

Complete and turn in exit activity

How do our current units fit with CC?

What do you need?

• Patience (humor!)• Materials

– Unit– Common Core Standards flip charts

Box of ChocolatesYou have been hired as a designer to market packages of chocolate candy for Valentine’s Day. The manufacturer would like rectangu1ar boxes that do not have a top. The candy will be covered with colorful plastic wrap so the consumer can see the actual product. Use your math skills to master this task.Directions:1. Use 1 inch graph paper (that was printed on card stock) to create a template for your box.2. Flip the paper over and decorate the package. (The printed squares should be inside the box.)3. Assemble the box with clear tape.Now it is time to do the math.Answer the foil owing questions.1. What are the dimensions of the box? (length, width, and height)2. What is the total surface area of the box?3. If the material used to construct the box costs 4 cents per square inch, how much did it cost the manufacturer to make the box?4. How many 1 inch cubes of chocolate fudge will the box hold? (volume)5. If it cost 20 cents to make each piece of candy, how much would it cost to fill the box with chocolates?6. What is the manufacture’s total cost of goods (box materials and candy)?7. If the consumer’s price is the manufacture’s total cost plus 20%, what will the actual price of the candy?8. How much profit will the manufacturer make on each box that is sold?

Now it is your turn.

Start labeling your unit with common core

If you get stuck, talk with your neighbor and see what they think (don’t ask us – ask Sarah)

We are giving you time to start this process but will not expect you to finish this within the 15 minutes. You WILL have more time at the end of the session to continue this work.

Your time starts now!

What is rigor?

Write your personal definition of “cognitive rigor” as it relates to

instruction, learning, and assessments.

Let’s watch a video

AIG’s Definition of Cognitive Rigor

We the, AIG staff, believe that rigor is….

Developing a Cognitive Rigor Matrix

Currently, we use two different tools to describe cognitive rigor. Each addresses something different.

RBT (Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy) – What type of thinking (verbs) is needed to complete a task?

DOK (Webb’s Depth of Knowledge) – How deeply do you have to understand the content to successfully interact with it? How complex or abstract is the content?

Bloom’s Taxonomy (1956) &

Bloom’s Cognitive Process Dimensions (2005)

Knowledge– Define, duplicate, label, list, name, order, recognize, relate, recall

Comprehension—Classify, describe, discuss, explain, express, identify, indicate, locate, recognize, report, review, select, translate

Application– Analyze, choose, demonstrate, dramatize, employ, illustrate, interpret, practice, write

Analysis– Analyze, appraise, explain, calculate, categorize, compare, criticize, discriminate, examine

Synthesis– Rearrange, assemble, collect, compose, create, design, develop, formulate, manage, write

Evaluation– Appraise, argue, assess, choose, compare, defend, estimate, explain, judge, predict, rate, core, select, support, value

Remember– Retrieve knowledge from long-term memory, recognize, recall, locate, identify

Understand – Construct meaning, clarify, paraphrase, represent, translate, illustrate, give examples, classify, categorize, summarize, generalize, predict

Apply – Carry out or use a procedure in a given situation; carry out or use/apply to an unfamiliar task

Analyze – Break into constituent parts, determine how parts relate

Evaluate – Make judgments based on criteria, check, detect inconsistencies/fallacies, critique

Create – Put elements together to form a coherent whole, reorganize elements into new patterns/structures.

What is DOK?

Webb’s Depth-of-Knowledge LevelsDOK-1 – Recall & Reproduction – Recall of a fact, term, principle, concept;

perform a routine procedure; locate detailsDOK-2 – Basic Application of Skills/Concepts – Use of information;

conceptual knowledge; select appropriate procedures for a given task; two or more steps with decision points along the way; routine problems; organize/ display data; interpret/use simple graphs; summarize; identify main idea; explain relationships; make predictions

DOK-3 – Strategic Thinking – Requires reasoning, or developing a plan or sequence of steps to approach problem; requires decision making or justification; abstract, complex or non-routine; often more than one possible answer; support solutions or judgments with text evidence

DOK-4 – Extended Thinking – An investigation or application to real world; requires time to research, problem solve, and process multiple conditions of the problem or task; non-routine manipulations; synthesize information across disciplines/content areas/multiple sources.

Let’s watch a video

DOK is about depth & complexity – not difficulty!

The intended student learning outcome determines the DOK level. What mental process must occur?

While verbs may appear to point to a DOK level, it is what comes after the verb that is the best indicator of the rigor/DOK level.

Describe the process of photosynthesis

Describe how the two political parties are alike and different

Describe the most significant effect of WWII on the nations of Europe

Hess’ Cognitive Rigor Matrix:Applies Webb’s DOK to RBT Cognitive Process Dimensions

Depth + Thinking

Level 1Recall & Reproduction

Level 2Basic Skills &Concepts

Level 3 Strategic Thinking & Reasoning

Level 4 Extended Thinking

RememberRecall, locate basic facts, details, events

UnderstandSelect appropriate words to use when intended meaning is clearly evident

Specify, explain relationships, summarize, identify main ideas

Explain, generalize, or connect ideas using supporting evidence

Explain how concepts or ideas specifically relate to other content domains or concepts

ApplyUse language structure or word relationships to determine meaning

Use contest to identify meaning of word, obtain and interpret information using text features

Use concepts to solve non-routine problems

Devise an approach among many alternatives to research a novel problem

Analyze

Identify whether information is contained in a graph, table, etc.

Compare literacy elements, terms, facts, events, analyze format, organization, & text structures

Analyze or interpret author’s craft to critique a text

Analyze multiple sources or texts Analyze complex/ abstract themes

EvaluateCite evidence and develop a logical argument for conjectures

Evaluate relevancy, accuracy, & completeness of information

Create Brainstorm ideas about a topic

Generate conjectures based on observations or prior knowledge

Synthesis information within one source of text

Synthesize information across multiple sources or texts

Now, let’s apply your rigor
