Common Core Standards for STAR AcademyPresented by: Ms. Washington & Mr. Ingram

“ I love those who yearn for the impossible.” - Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

What do we already know about the Common Core State Standards (CCCS)? There will be 100% implementation

of the CCSS for the 2014-2015 Academic School Year.

The CCSS centered around TEAM Evaluation.

According to research, we should not be allowing students to learn using calculators.

Many teachers across the nation believe it is will be IMPOSSIBLE to implement these new standards.

The 3 Common Core Shifts for Math

Focus: instruction strongly aligns with the CCSS.

Coherence: in regards to planning teachers must think across grades and link to major topics within grades.

Rigor: lessons require conceptual understanding, procedural skill/fluency, and application with intensity.

Grade 4 Overview

Operations and Algebraic ThinkingUse the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems.Gain familiarity with factors and multiples.Generate and analyze patterns.Number and Operations in Base TenGeneralize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers.Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.Number and Operations—FractionsExtend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering.Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous understandings of operations on whole numbers.Understand decimal notation for fractions, and compare decimal fractions.

Measurement and DataSolve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit.Represent and interpret data.Geometric measurement: understand concepts of angle and measure angles.GeometryDraw and identify lines and angles, and classify shapes by properties of their lines and angles.Mathematical Practices1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.4. Model with mathematics.5. Use appropriate tools strategically.6. Attend to precision.7. Look for and make use of structure.8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Operations and Algebraic Thinking (4.OA)

The Structures & Routines of a Lesson 

The Sweater Task

To celebrate your birthday, your grandparents take you shopping .Which sale should you take advantage of if you want the best reduction on a sweater that costs $68.79?

SALE #1: 30% discount SALE #2: 20% discount,

with an additional 10% off of the sale price

Does each sale result in the same reduction off the original cost? Explain what you would pay in each sale situation, and similarities or differences between the two sales.

 

The Structures & Routines of a Lesson 

Private Time Share Time (2 minutes each) Whole Group

 To celebrate your election to the student council, your grandparents take you shopping. You have a 20% – off coupon. The cashier takes 20% off the$68.79 bill. Your grandmother remembers that she has an additional coupon for 10% off. The cashier takes the 10% off what the cash register shows.

Does this result in the same amount as 30% off the original bill? Explain what you will pay in each situation and the similarities or differences between the two situations.
