•  Adopted by 45 states including California

•  Smarter Balanced Tests, aligned to these standards, are in the Spring

•  2 Types of Standards: Mathematical Practices and Content by Grade Level

•  8 Mathematical Practices for all K-12 students

Common Core State Standards in Math

(CCSS-Math)

Page 4: Terman MS Math Info Night PPT 9 7 16

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.

Eight Common Core Mathematical Practices Grades K-12

Page 5: Terman MS Math Info Night PPT 9 7 16

Math 6 ´ Students follow the 6th grade Common Core

State Standards. (CCSS Math 6)

´ The content includes Ratios & Proportional Relationships, the Number System (Rational numbers), Expressions & Equations, Geometry, and Statistics and Probability. http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/ma/cf/documents/mathfwgrade6lmg2.pdf

´ Students are heterogeneously grouped in 6th grade and work both independently and in cooperative group situations with instruction that is differentiated to appropriately challenge all students.

´ Extension and enrichment opportunities are available to all students.

6th Grade Differentiation §  For those that need extra challenge

§  Extensions of classroom problems and investigations

§  Join Math Club: 9/15, Thursdays, 3:05 – 4:00

§  Math Competitions

§  For those that need additional help §  Math workshop/ Homework Habitat

§  Any student §  May work with their teacher or another

math teacher outside of class.

Page 7: Terman MS Math Info Night PPT 9 7 16

ü Student interest in math, ü Student response to challenge (readiness for acceleration), and ü Student demonstrated performance with the CCSS-Math 6 curriculum.

As students leave the 6th grade program, teachers suggest placement

in one of two courses, Math 7 and Math 7A, according to:

The two courses are the beginning of PAUSD’s laning system for the secondary math course offerings.

Page 8: Terman MS Math Info Night PPT 9 7 16

LANING VS. TRACKING

LANING = flexible

TRACKING = rigid

The laning system allows students to move among levels of a course, at the end of a year (or sometimes the semester) as their interest and success in a course shifts.

PAUSD has a laning system.

Page 9: Terman MS Math Info Night PPT 9 7 16

So, what are the differences between Math7 & Math7A*?

*A = Accelerated

Page 10: Terman MS Math Info Night PPT 9 7 16

The Course Placement Suggestion

´ From the teacher’s criteria-based input sheet

´ Generally: Suggested Placement:

Most Xs in Math 7 column

……….. Math 7

Most Xs in Math 7A column

……….Math 7A

Page 17: Terman MS Math Info Night PPT 9 7 16

Note: Students who earn 4 or 5 Xs in each column

ü The student is in a grey area. ü The student may be more

successful in Math 7… or… ü The student may enroll in Math

7A, but may need some additional support (extra HW time, time with teacher, etc.)

Page 18: Terman MS Math Info Night PPT 9 7 16

Math 7 or Math 7A?

´ Some students are not ready for course acceleration in 7th grade.

´ There are summer school options for those students should they be interested in accelerating at a later date.

´ These options are available at the end of 7th, 9th ,10th and 11th grades.

Page 19: Terman MS Math Info Night PPT 9 7 16

´ …the student may need additional support in the Math 7 course,

such as extra HW time, additional teacher time, or enrollment in Math 7 Workshop.

If a student earned Xs in the Math 7 column only…

Page 20: Terman MS Math Info Night PPT 9 7 16

If a student earned Xs in the Math 7A column only…

The student will be invited to take the Math 7A Mastery Test (for placement directly into Algebra). Please note that students are not required to accept the invitation. *Topics posted online.

There are no opportunities to take the Math 7A Mastery Test without all Xs in the Math 7A column.

Page 21: Terman MS Math Info Night PPT 9 7 16

There are other opportunities for acceleration—wait for the right time:

´ Although acceleration is not appropriate for every student, as students grow and change, new capabilities may appear and, in math, students may grow to

´ Show interest,

´ Embrace challenge

´ Demonstrate mastery of grade-level standards

´ Increase the rate at which new ideas, concepts and skills can be acquired

Page 22: Terman MS Math Info Night PPT 9 7 16

Acceleration opportunities:

´ Between 7th & 8th Grade, after Math 7

´ Summer School: 4-week Alg 8 Summer Bridge course

´ Between 9th & 10th Grade, after Alg 1 or Alg 1A

´ Summer School: 6-week Geometry A course

´ Between 10th & 11th Grade, after Geo or Geo A

´ Summer School: 4-week Algebra 2 course

´ Between 11th & 12th Grade, after Pre-Calc or IAC

´ Summer School: 3-week Intro to Calc course

Page 23: Terman MS Math Info Night PPT 9 7 16

Bridging to Algebra 8 After Math 7

Students must:

ü Earn solid As on tests in both semesters in Math 7

ü Take advantage of extension opportunities

ü Demonstrate ease with computation

ü Participate in summer bridge* course (4 weeks; 4 hrs/day) & earn a B- or better

*An independent study option is available for students who cannot attend the summer bridge course.

Considerations

´  It is important that a student chooses or is placed appropriately for both challenge and success in math courses throughout secondary education, which they can largely meet on their own.

´ Building success is a journey, not a race. Student success is not only the mastery of content and skills, but includes enthusiasm for math along with a healthy, balanced, and happy life.

´ The UC Requirements for Admission (and PAUSD Graduation Requirements) in mathematics is the successful completion of an Algebra 2 Course.

Page 28: Terman MS Math Info Night PPT 9 7 16

Making a good decision…

´ What is good for your student?

´ Does the student enjoy math?

´ Is this course what the student wants?

´ Weigh the time that must be spent with the student’s interest in the course.

´ Consider the pacing of the course.

´ Know what to expect in the event of a lane change.

Page 29: Terman MS Math Info Night PPT 9 7 16

The Timeline:

´ The placement tests will be given to all 6th graders in April/May.

´ Teachers will complete the rubric and contact parents by the end of May.

´ Teacher’s placement-suggestion letters will be mailed to parents.

´ The Math 7A Mastery Test (by invitation only) will be given in Late May and results reported by June.

Page 30: Terman MS Math Info Night PPT 9 7 16

In the meantime,

´ Continue to encourage your student to do the very best work in math every single day!

´ Contact your student’s math teacher if you have any questions about this process.

´ Have your student request help or more challenge when needed.

´ Thank you for coming tonight!
