3 Instructional Shifts in CC Math

RIGOR
deeply on the major work of each grade level so that students can build strong foundations.
make connections across grade levels and within grade level concepts so that students can build new understanding onto foundations built in previous years.
in major topics pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application with equal intensity

• Depth vs breadth• Some elementary concepts and many high school
concepts have shifted to middle school
Many Changes in High School
• Standards have shifted
• Strong Emphasis on Statistics in grades 6-12.
• Algebra 1 is now considered a HS Course
• Trig Math Analysis no longer exists
• Honors Advanced Math is a new course that combines Alg 2 and Pre-Calc.
DON’T BE FOOLED BY COURSE NAMES – THE CONTENT IS VERY DIFFERENT!!
(based on sample “Traditional” pathway in CA Framework by LACOE)
These Standards are not intended to be new names for old ways of doing business.They are a call to take the next step.”

SBAC 8th Grade Sample Problem
• The total cost of an order of shirts from a company consists of the cost of each shirt plus a one-time design fee. The cost of each shirt is the same regardless of how many shirts are ordered. The company provides the following examples to customers to help them estimate the total cost of an order of shirts:
• 50 shirts cost $349.50 • 500 shirts cost $2370 • Part A Based on the examples, what is the cost of each shirt, not
including the one-time design fee? Explain how you found your answer.
• Part B • What is the cost of the one-time design fee? Explain how you
found your answer.

Key Considerations in Course Pathways
1) Don’t skip standards – it weakens the foundations for future learning.
2) The math practices are an essential part of the curriculum
3) Balance - conceptual understanding, problem solving and skill proficiency

END OF YEAR ASSESSMENTS
• No matter what course your child is enrolled in
• 6th grade students will take the 6th grade SBAC testand the LAUSD 6th grade placement test• 7th grade students will take the 7th grade SBAC test• 8th grade students will take the 8th grade SBAC test
• Middle school students enrolled in Algebra 1 will take an Algebra Summative test to determine whether high school credit will be issued. (must earn a classroom grade of C or better and a passing grade on the summative assessment).
How Does My Child Qualify for the Alternative Accelerated Pathway?
Multiple Criteria – See Attachment C1) Grades - 4s in math on all report cards in grades 4 and 5
2) Recommendations from the 5th grade teacher and an elementary school administrator. (The middle school will initiate this process)
3) Mandatory Parent Meeting regarding the pathway
4) Parent Compact must be signed.
5) Test scores – Child must score proficient on the sixth grade placement exam.
Handout: Attachment C
Acceleration Agreements
• Child must maintain a “B” or better in class • If child is NOT progressing in the class, a parent-
teacher meeting will be held to discuss lack of progress and develop an action plan for intervention
• If at the end of the semester, the student has NOT earned a “B” or better, the school may reassign the student to another course.
• Schools and parents are encouraged to review other data such as interim assessments, end of course exams, and SBAC results to make decisions about whether a child should remain in the program. Handout: Attachment B2
School requirements
We are exploring whether we will be offer the program. We need a minimum number of students in order to make it financially feasible.
• Discuss minimum required
• Discuss model used
• Discuss what your school will do if this minimum is not met
• Discuss timeline for determining whether pathway will be offered. Testing at the end of May Early June.
SUMMARY OF PATHWAYS
Traditional PathwayBegins with CC Math 6Takes Alg. 1 in 9th gradePossibility of completing 1 or 2 AP Courses
Accelerated Pathway (Compacts 3 courses in 2 years)Begins with CC Math 6Takes Geometry in 9th gradePossibility of completing 1 or 2 AP Courses
Alternative Accelerated Pathway (Compacts 4 courses in 2 years)Begins with Alt. Accelerated CC Math 6/7Takes Alg. 2 in 9th gradePossibility of completing up to 3 AP Courses
Handout 3 Pathway Overview
FINAL THOUGHTS
• The alternative accelerated pathway is intended for a very few high achieving math students.
• Common core assessments call for students to be proficient in problem solving, conceptual understanding and skills.
• There are multiple acceleration points in MS and HS that allow students to take AP Calculus regardless of the pathway.
• Building a strong mathematical foundation in middle school is essential for success in higher level mathematics
NEXT STEPS
• Consider your child’s grades, their well roundedness in skills, problem solving,understanding, and their work habitsd IF you want your child to tes,t sign the agreement. Write the testing date you prefer.
• Tell your child not to worry if they find the test hard.
• Make sure you signed in. We need the information.
• Test will be administered Sat. May 23rd at 9 am or Sun May 31st at 9 am at Bancroft MS. Arrive at 8:30 a.m.
• Whole process will take about 3 hours.
