Transcript Building A Stronger Math Program By Building a Stronger

Do not worry if you have built your castles in the air. They are
where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
- Henry David Thoreau


Do you consider yourself a
“math person?”
Do you consider yourself a
reader?

Develop students who love
math and see it as sensible and
useful to solving problems and
making sense of the world.

All students will reach
proficiency in math –
Understanding, Computing,
Applying, Reasoning, and
Engaging (UCARE).

The Common Core State Standards:
 Include rigorous content and application of
knowledge through high-order skills
 Build upon strengths and lessons of current state
standards
 Internationally benchmarked so that all students
are prepared to succeed in our global economy
and society
 Based on evidence and research

 The CCSS recommend that elementary
schools focus on building a strong
foundation in number concepts – before
accelerating into advanced math.
 MCPS Math teachers in advanced level
courses in middle school and high
school have requested a stronger
foundation in number concepts for ALL
students, even the most advanced.

What Makes The EIC Foundation Stronger?
MCPS 2001 Curriculum
Framework
EIC /
Internationally-driven standards
“Spiral” Curriculum – concepts
introduced and mastered over several
grade levels
Concept introduced and mastered in one
grade level
Grade level standards not sufficiently
challenging for most students
Many standards are “pulled down” from upper
grades.
Language of standards was general and
not specific – resulting in teaching to
test.
Fewer, higher, clearer standards provide
direction for teaching and learning – not
testing.
Curriculum developed independently of
all other subjects
Curriculum integrated with other content
areas and thinking and academic skills
Comparing Standards on One Topic in Grade 2:
Using Place Value to Add and Subtract
MCPS 2001 Curriculum EIC / Internationally-driven standards
•
Add and subtract two- and
three-digit numbers using
alternative strategies.
•
Add two- and three-digit
numbers with regrouping.
•
Subtract two-and three-digit
numbers with regrouping. *
•
Model and use the identity and
commutative properties for
addition…to solve problems. *
* From a higher grade level
• Add and subtract within 1000, using concrete models or
drawings and strategies based on place value,
properties of operations, and/or the relationship
between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy
to a written method. Understand that in adding or
subtracting three digit numbers, one adds or subtracts
hundreds and hundreds, tens and tens, ones and ones;
and sometimes it is necessary to compose or
decompose tens or hundreds.
• Mentally add 10 or 100 to a given number 100–900, and
mentally subtract 10 or 100 from a given number 100–
900.
• Explain why addition and subtraction strategies work,
using place value and the properties of operations.
Critical Questions For Instructional Planning
1.

4.
What do students need to know and be able
to do?
How will we know they have learned it?
What will we do when they haven’t?
What will we do when they already know it?
Enriched and Accelerated Instruction in Elementary Math
All Students – In the grade level EIC/CCSS Curriculum
• Grade level
expectations are at a
higher level
• Fewer topics per
grade level
• Enrichment–mastery
of the 5 UCARE
strands requires
greater depth for all
students
Many Students – who consistently
master all five
• Additional - Who consistently

Enrichment demonstrate
