CCSS-M Key Shifts

  • Focus—depth emphasized to

develop greater understanding of mathematics

  • Coherence—thinking across

grades and linking to major topics

  • Rigor—equal intensity of

conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, & application

Mission

The mission of The Winnetka Public Schools mathematics program is to engage all students in a challenging curriculum of high-quality mathematics.

October 2012

Belief Statements

We believe that classroom community engages students and supports the development of positive mathematical dispositions. An Engaging Math Environment:

  • Promotes a mindset of inquiry, risk taking, flexible

thinking, and problem solving.

  • Fosters collaboration, communication, and critique as

critical components of understanding.

  • Encourages multiple approaches, using tools and

technology strategically.

  • Encourages analysis of a variety of solutions as well as

misconceptions.

Belief Statements

We believe that high quality instruction is the foundation for the development of proficient mathematical learners. High Quality Instruction:
  • Values students as individual learners.
  • Provides meaningful tasks.
  • Emphasizes process and understanding of
mathematics to a level of depth appropriate for each learner.
  • Encourages students to learn from one another.
  • Provides time to develop perseverance, a level of
expertise, and an appreciation of the connectedness of math concepts to the real world.
  • Endorses multiple methods for students to
demonstrate understanding through the use of different modalities (manipulatives; pictures and models; oral and written language; real world situations; written symbols).

Belief Statements

We believe that high quality curriculum and assessment allow for acquisition of knowledge, development of meaningful understanding, application and transfer

  • f knowledge.

High Quality Curriculum:

  • Develops skills and

concepts in tandem.

  • Applies concepts to

real life contexts and new situations.

  • Values reflection as part
  • f the learning process.
  • Is informed by research,

state and national standards, and guided by national mathematics

  • rganizations.

Belief Statements

High Quality Assessment:

  • Encompasses a wide

range of assessment techniques.

  • Is an ongoing process.
  • Provides feedback to

inform student and teacher, resulting in the growth of all learners.

  • Addresses procedural

skill and fluency, conceptual understanding, and application.

Overarching Essential Questions and Enduring Understandings

slide-12
SLIDE 12 Standards for Mathematical Practice Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Use appropriate tools strategically. Look for and make use of structure. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of
  • thers.
Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Attend to precision. Model with mathematics.

Next Steps

Date(s) Description of Activities Desired Products April 4 Submit completed pilot tools for analysis
  • Pilot teacher feedback submitted for
review and analysis April 11 Review pilot experiences, alignment to CCSSM, costs, etc. in order to choose a resource
  • Select K-5 math resource materials
April 25 Release Align new resource to curriculum units and refine scope and sequence
  • Document detailing connections and
identifying needs for supplemental materials
  • Tightly aligned K-8 scope and
sequence of units May 7 Present K-5 math resource recommendation to School Board and share revised 6-8 math material selection plan
  • Board knowledge of math materials
and revised 6-8 piloting plan

Next Steps

Date(s) Description of Activities Desired Products March– June Analyze current resources and move to new resource to identify possible gaps. Design crosswalk to transition to new resource to ensure success for students and teachers.
  • Crosswalk for transition to new
curriculum and resources April– October Informing parents of resource selection, CCSSM implications, and reasoning for selection
  • WPI, website updates, newsletters, etc.
May–June This is an on-going process over two years involving different groups of teachers and incorporating differentiated instruction, modeling in classrooms, co-teaching, and coaching in order to activate and implement the CCSSM and new resource
  • Developed and implemented cohesive
PD plan to implement new resource with support for teachers in activating the CCSSM Practices Sept 2013
  • ngoing
Develop common cornerstone assessments based on CCSSM and resource
  • Minimum of 3 common cornerstone
assessments per grade level to serve as formative assessments for PARCC assessment.
