Enhancing Grade 5 Math Instruction Through Data Analysis and Resource Exploration

This workshop focuses on improving Grade 5 math instruction within the Williamsport Area School District. Participants will engage in activities that highlight the importance of data analysis in assessing student performance, particularly through the PSSA assessments. The session emphasizes collaborative exploration of instructional resources, effective lesson planning, and utilizing online tools for enhanced learning experiences. We will also reflect on the significance of assessment practices in recognizing and addressing student learning needs, ensuring a comprehensive approach to math education.

  1. Algebraic Concepts Data Analysis WASD Numbers & Operations Measurement & Geometry Grade 5 Math Summit Williamsport Area School District January 27, 2011

  2. Welcome • Introductions • Purpose and Goals • Identify Specific Targets • Explore and Select Resources • Develop Instructional Packets for Teachers • But First, an Icebreaker – When You’re Ready…

  3. Know This Character?

  4. Lets Play! Where’s Waldo?

  5. Where’s Waldo?

  6. Where’s Waldo?

  7. Where’s Waldo?

  8. The Test: Where’s Waldo?

  9. Reflections… • How might “Looking for Waldo” resemble some aspects of assessment practices? • How did it feel when you knew where to “look” for Waldo in a new problem? (2nd or 3rd example) • How did it feel on test day? • Have you ever heard students say, “We never studied that?” Does this activity help to explain why students might say that? • What could we do to reduce the chance of this happening on PSSA testing dates?

  10. Analyzing WASD 2010 PSSA Data • eMetric(https://solutions1.emetric.net/PSSA/Main.aspx) • Select Report: PSSA Only • Graphical Summary: Reporting Categories (2010, Grade 5: Choose WASD, Cochran, Hepburn, All) • Group Summary: Reporting Categories & Anchors (2010, Grade 5: Choose WASD, calculate percentages

  11. What Did You See? • Turn to a neighbor and share what you saw in eMetric when we revealed the PSSA results (each Reporting Category) for all schools at the same time. What thoughts did you have? • Do any other measures – 4Sight, for example – also reveal the same needs in Grade 5?

  12. WASD Grade 5 Math Targets • Measurement (M5.B.1 & M5.B.2) • Geometry (M5.C.1 & M5.C.2) How can we drill down further into these Anchors to identify specific learning goals?

  13. PDE Standards Aligned Systems • SAS (http://pdesas.org) • Create a Personal Account (Access ePortfolio) • Clear Standards • Unpacking the Anchors • Resources • Assessment Builder

  14. Study Island • Study Island (http://www.studyisland.com) Generic Login: Username: teacher@wasd Password: teacher • Choose 5th Grade • Choose Math tab • Click: View Anchor Map for Study Island Topics
