Meeting Objectives

  • Review the process to date
  • Learn the curriculum recommendation

for next year

  • See the potential 9th grade course names
  • Hear about the curriculum

implementation plan

Where the story begins…

  • Convergence

– Change in State Curriculum Frameworks; emergence of the Standards of Mathematical Practice. – Budget: with declining enrollments, increasing difficulty of filling all class room seats.

  • An additional consideration: teacher collaboration is

enhanced.

Review Process Overview

  • Disciplined review process

– More than 70 hours per teacher since 2012 – Developed shared understanding of the Standards for Math Practice

  • Determined curricula to review
  • Determined criteria
  • Curriculum study
  • Curriculum evaluation
  • Department recommendation
  • Administrative review

SLIDE 8

Rigor

  • Conceptual Understanding
  • Procedural Fluency
  • Application

“K–8 Publishers’ Criteria for the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics” http://www.corestandards.org/assets/Math_Publishers_Criteria_K- 8_Summer%202012_FINAL.pdf

Differentiation

  • Multiple means of…

– Representation (What?) – Action and Expression (How?) – Engagement (Why?)

Review Process

  • Curriculum Study

– Overview – Lesson/unit experience – Guided exploration – Visited area schools – Piloted units

Department Evaluation and Recommendation Process

  • Quantitative Analysis

– Teacher ranked each program based on the set criteria

  • Rigor
  • Standards for Mathematical Practice
  • Differentiation

– Teachers ranked each program in order from 1 – 4, with 1 being the program that met the criterion the best and 4 indicating the program that least met the criteria.

Administrative Review

  • Program research
  • District outreach
  • Internal course data

– ARHS has been using IMP for years, why don’t we just compare our own internal results to see which is better, IMP courses or “Traditional” courses? – Considering that IMP is one of the programs under review what can we see in our own internal data?

  • Contacted STEM Professors and College

Admissions departments

Interactive Mathematics Program

  • Balanced approach

– Direct instruction and inquiry

  • Assessment
  • Homework
  • Reference materials
  • Accessibility

– Designed to meet needs of advanced students and those working below grade level

  • 2015 edition

Example Quiz

  • Find the length of the vertical leg of

the triangle at the left to the nearest

  • hundredth. Show your work. No

measuring!

  • Find the length of the horizontal leg

(still without measuring). Can you find it another way?

Portfolio Piece

You’ve seen that the trigonometric functions sine, cosine and tangent, can be useful for finding unknown sides and angles of right triangles. In this assignment, your task is to connect several geometric ideas to explain why. The sine of an angle, 𝜄, is defined as, 𝑡𝑗𝑜𝜄 = 𝑚𝑓𝑜𝑕𝑢ℎ 𝑝𝑔 𝑝𝑞𝑞𝑝𝑡𝑗𝑢𝑓 𝑡𝑗𝑒𝑓 𝑚𝑓𝑜𝑕𝑢ℎ 𝑝𝑔 ℎ𝑧𝑞𝑝𝑢𝑓𝑜𝑣𝑡𝑓

  • In the two triangles at the left, and any other

right triangle with a 35 degree angle, this ratio must have the same value. Explain why this has to be true.
