Deep Curriculum Alignment Project for

Mathematics

History of DCA

*Three Year Mathematics Project

*Over 25 School Districts involved

*Professional Learning Community Building Valuable Resources

Objectives of Year 3: Review embedded skills & vocabulary

deconstructed from CCLS (Common Core Learning Standards) during year 2

Build sample tasks (questions) for the CCLS embedded skills that ensures multiple measures of assessment

Peer review & build assessment solutions for the sample tasks

Develop a regional scope & sequence by grade for the Common Core Learning Standards

Review criteria for home- school communications & report card alignment to CCLS

Understanding the Common Core Learning Standards for Mathematics

Plan for ELA & Math

We are stronger together than we are apart…

Summarize at least 3 key points with a partner.

DCA (Deep Curriculum Alignment Project) allows us to tackle this TOGETHER!

What do these

standards mean?

Deconstructing the Common Core Learning Standards (DCA- YEAR 2)

Grade Level Teams Worked to Define the new CCLS &

evaluate alignment

Embedded skills written as

measureable (using measurable

verbs)

Sample questions for the skills will be typed in

this box

Answer the following questions as a group and then post your responses around the room…

1) What are the characteristics of quality tasks or assessment items?

2) Describe multiple measures of assessment.

3) Explain what a ‘Balanced Assessment’ might include.

Compare the NYS Test Item Grade 5 Math (2005) with the Example Common Core Performance Task 5th Grade Math.• What are the embedded skills

that the student needed to know for each question? How does the level of rigor compare?

Common Core

Aligned Resources? Can this be true?

Many textbooks claim to be fully aligned to CCLS The Common Core Standards document

address this issue and clearly state that nothing published is aligned to the level of both procedural & conceptual understanding that the CCLS demand

Guidance can be obtained from a variety of Sample Task Resources such as: Buckle Down, Singapore Mathematics, People Choice, etc.

*Be careful not to spend too much time in these resources- STAY on target with being aligned to what the embedded skills demand…

Let’s begin…

Group Selections & Team Roles

Select group members for smaller working group (2-3 per group)

Decide as a table how to divide up the domains for the sample tasks among the smaller working groups (paper copies havebeen provided in the boxes at the tables)

Select a person from you small group to work with the computer (using the wiki and uploading/ downloading the documents) Begin by reviewing the embedded skills & the standard from which they were deconstructed

Add or modify these skills/ vocabulary with RED font ONLY

Tomorrow….

Is only a day away…. Annie

We will be picking back up where we have left off tomorrow. Select a good stopping point and upload your last domain. Be sure to label your paper copies of where your have left off and where you need to start.
