Description of Practice
 Improving problem-solving in Middle School
students using Complex Performance Assessment
Tasks designed and implemented through cross
content collaboration.
Utilize this evidence of student learning to adapt teaching and
learning to meet the immediate learning needs of our diverse
population of students.
 Teach perseverance with continuing practice.
Two Examples
o
1. MARS tasks in the classroom @ E. A. Hall
o
2. CaMSP collaborative lesson (% of a Number)

Eight Mathematical Practices
1. Making sense of problems and persevering in solving them
(SMP#1) .
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively (SMP#2).
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
(SMP#3).
4. Model with mathematics (SMP#4).
5. Use appropriate tools strategically (SMP#5)
6. Attend to precision (SMP#6).
7. Look for and make use of structure (SMP#7).
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
(SMP#8).

Tips on Implementation
(Lessons Learned)
 The most effective use of formative assessment occurs on
a daily basis.
 Use Socratic seminars! Quit prompting and scaffolding
every step of the way – provide a foundation for
autonomy.
 Be patient, students will flounder at first and then
gradually gain skills on how to analyze a challenge, utilize
prior learning, and implement a purposeful solution to a
problem.
 Collaborate often w/ other teachers and share:



English language skills
Art – many common factors with math
Phy. Ed. – oppty list: statistics, geometry
Resources & Tools
for getting started
 The ‘Kithen sink’:
 SVMI/Mars tasks
 Problems of the month
 Videos/flipped classroom
 Math coaches
 Enroll in training (e.g. CaMSP, Critical Thinking)
 Utilize ‘vaulted’ lessons
 Other teachers & coaches
