This presentation by Therese Wetherington and educational leaders discusses the adoption of mathematics curriculum aligned with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). It highlights key tools for evaluating curriculum materials, including mathematics content alignment and mathematical practices, while considering equity and technology integration for diverse student backgrounds. Resources for further exploration are provided, alongside a discussion on next steps and necessary tools for effective curriculum implementation.

Math Textbook Adoption Presented by Therese Wetherington and Teacher Leaders Jan 24.2014
History • 2010- Release of CCSS for reading and math • 2011- 44 states, District of Columbia & US Virgin Islands adopted CCSS
Purpose • Use a set of tools to ensure consistency across reviewers, and promote discussions about newly developed mathematics curriculum materials. • Tool #1: Mathematics Content Alignment • Tool #2: 8 Mathematical Practices • Tool #3: Overarching Considerations Equity, Assessment & Technology
Tool Creators • Council of Chief State School Officers and National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics • national team of educators with expertise in mathematics • mathematics education • school administration
Tool #1-Content Trajectory • Determine the extent to which the Core Content Standards for Mathematics are included in the mathematics curriculum materials. • Determine the extent to which Core Content Standards for Mathematics are sequenced appropriately in the mathematics curriculum materials. • Determine the amount of time allowed for each standard.
Critical Areas • Tool 1 does not exhaust the standards within each grade or category, but focuses on important domains or standards with within and across grades to provide a representative analysis within a reasonable time.
Criteria • Coverage refers to the degree to which the curriculum materials attend to the content of a particular standard. • Balance addresses the degree to which the mathematics content is developed with a balance between mathematical understanding and procedural skill in ways that are consistent with the standard
Tool #28 Mathematical Practices • To determine the extent to which the mathematics curriculum materials reflect and involve students in the Mathematical Practices.
Students should be… pattern sniffers experimenters describers tinkerers inventors visualizers conjecturers guessers
Tool #3Equity, Assessment & Technology • To determine how the program influenceslearning for all studentswith regards to linguistic, ethnic, racial, gender, and socioeconomic backgrounds; the role of mathematics in society and culture, and contributions of various cultures to the advancement of mathematics. • To determine the extent of how mathematics relates to other subjects, and the opportunities for authentic tasks • To determine the kinds of assessments (formative and summative), types of data, method to monitor progress, and types of strategies available to address specific areas. • To determine the extent of embedded support for elements of technology consistently within and across grades.
