  1. Math Parent Night Created by Shannon Palermiti Lake Washington School District

  2. Agenda Introductions Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Report Cards Assessments Components of Math Preventing Roadblocks Home Connection Q & A

  3. Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Standards that provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn Replaced the Washington state and Lake Washington School District standards for English/Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. Full implementation of the new standards, including new state standardized tests, will be complete by the 2014-15 school year.

  4. Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Written to: • Be rigorous • Prepare students for college • Prepare students to compete in a global economy CCSS focus on: • Problem solving • Critical thinking skills. These standards assist Lake Washington School District in its vision: Every student future ready: • Prepared for college • Prepared for the global workplace • Prepared for personal success 

  5. CCSS and Elementary Report Card Revised to align with CCSS in Mathematics and English Language Arts Provides parents a snapshot of how their student/s are currently performing as measured against the CCSS Changes to Report Card: • Interdisciplinary Skills and Attributes • Reading/Writing • Math

  6. Components of Math • - Counting and Cardinality (kindergarten) • - Numbers and Operation in Base Ten • - Numbers and Operation- Fractions • - Geometry • - Measurement and Data • - Operations and Algebraic Thinking • - Mathematical Practices

  7. Difference between ”Conceptually” and “Rote” • Students should have a solid understanding of how numbers work together and why. • If students just memorize facts, there’s no “application” of thinking to take them to another concept of math. • For example: students learn the strategy of “making 10” to add. By doing this, they are building understanding of base 10 and can use this later with algebra, multiplication, etc.

  8. Primary Strategies • Part – Part – Whole: • (Part)+(Part)=(Whole) • (Whole)-(Part)=(Part) • Making a ten (using ten frames):

  9. Strategies • Beginning mental math strategies: • Doubles: 5+5=10 • Doubles +1: 4+5=? ... 4+4=8, 8+1=9, so 4+5=9 • Doubles +2: 6+8=? ... 6+6=12, 12+2=14, so, 6+8=14 • Fact Families (related facts): • 3+8=11 • 8+3=11 • 11-3=8 • 11-8=3

  10. Intermediate Strategies

  11. Intermediate Strategies

  12. Preventing Roadblocks • - Continue Learning Yourself • - Be a Researcher • - Be a Communicator

  13. Home Connection • Be Positive about Math • Check that Homework is Complete • Spot Check Homework • Look over Quizzes • Find Ways to Motivate • Communicate Concerns

  14. Home Connection • Online Math Games • Cool Math • IXL • A+ Math • Fun Brain • Use Apps for Windows Phones, IPods, IPads, Surface, etc… • Math Cards • Math Magic • # Rumble • Math Tutor • Board Games • Yahtzee • Mastermind • Blokus
