Mathematics Department Update

This update from Trina Gillet, Supervisor of Mathematics and Science Partnership, outlines crucial steps for aligning our mathematics curriculum and assessments with PARCC and Common Core State Standards. Focusing on multi-step and contextual problems, we emphasize the importance of rigor, coherence, and the deep connections between content and math practices. Our comprehensive approach spans grades K-8 and includes adopting new instructional materials, ongoing data analysis, and progress monitoring three times a year. Prioritizing algebraic thinking is essential for students’ future success in college and careers.

  1. Mathematics Department Update Trina Gillet Supervisor of Mathematics and Science

  2. Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career (PARCC) Common Core State Standards Curriculum work and assessments Algebra Next steps

  3. PARCC Guidelines: Problems worth doing – Multi-step and contextual In-depth Focus Major content and fluency expectations Intensity Going “deeper” – connecting content and math practices

  4. CCSS Required Shifts • Focus • Major grade-level content • Coherence • Linking of major topics within and across grades • Rigor • Conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application

  5. Standards Progression

  6. Deliberate Approach • Adopting Instructional Materials • 2012-13 Go Math! K-2 • 2013-14 Go Math! Grades 3-6 • Curriculum Revision • Summer 2013 • Kindergarten, grade 1 and grade 2 • Grade 7, grade 8 and Algebra I • Summer 2014 • Grade 3, grade 4, grade 5 and grade 6 • Assessment development and on-going data analysis • Three times a year K-8 and Algebra I

  7. Algebra • Importance of Algebra • Cornerstone of secondary mathematics • College and career success • Thoughtful consideration for placement “access for all”

  8. Improving algebraic thinking • Understand patterns, relations and functions • Represent and analyze mathematical situations and structures using algebraic symbols • Use math models to represent and understand quantitative relationships

  9. Algebra Readiness • Timing and cognitive development • Capacity for higher-level thought processes, organizational skills and maturity • Transition from concrete to abstract • Multiple measures of data

  10. Next Steps • Analyzing data at every grade level • Ensuring Algebraic readiness throughout all grades • Adjusting curriculum appropriately based on student performance
