| ccssmp: Teaching to the Math Common Core State Standards F. D. Rivera, 2014-02-05 This is a methods book for elementary majors and preservice/beginning elementary teachers. It takes a very practical approach to learning to teach elementary school mathematics in an emerging Age of the Common Core State Standards. The Common Core State Standards in Mathematics (CCSSM) is not meant to be “the” official mathematics curriculum; it was purposefully developed primarily to provide clear learning expectations of mathematics content that are appropriate at every grade level and to help prepare all students to be ready for college and the workplace. A quick glance at the Table of Contents in this book indicates a serious engagement with the recommended mathematics underlying the kindergarten through grade 5 portions of the CCSSM first, with issues in content-practice assessment, learning, teaching, and classroom management pursued next and in that order. In this book we explore what it means to teach to the CCSSM within an alignment mindset involving content-practice learning, teaching, and assessment. The CCSSM content standards, which pertain to mathematical knowledge, skills, and applications, have been carefully crafted so that they are teachable, learnable, coherent, fewer, clearer, and higher. The practice standards, which refer to institutionally valued mathematical actions, processes, and habits, have been conceptualized in ways that will hopefully encourage all elementary students to engage with the content standards more deeply than merely acquiring mathematical knowledge by rote and imitation. Thus, in the CCSSM, proficiency in content alone is not sufficient, and so does practice without content, which is limited. Content and practice are both equally important and, thus, must come together in teaching, learning, and assessment in order to support authentic mathematical understanding. This blended, multisourced text is a “getting smart” book. It helps elementary majors and preservice/beginning elementary teachers work within the realities of accountable pedagogy and develop a proactive disposition that is capable of supporting all elementary students in order for them to experience growth in mathematical understanding necessary for middle school and beyond, including future careers. |

| ccssmp: Using a Design Based Research Approach to Support Diverse Parents' Learning of the Common Core Mathematical Practices Charmaine Mangram, 2015 The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) identify parents as a key component of the effort for improving student achievement in the areas of mathematics and English Language Arts. However, with its emphasis on discussion and inquiry, the CCSS for Mathematics (CCSSM) may require parents to interact with mathematics in ways very different from their mathematics education experiences. This is especially true of African American and Latino parents who, due to discriminatory tracking practices in America's public schools, often have never experienced mathematics in the ways that are outlined by mathematics education reformers (Boaler, 2002; Oakes, 1990). This study sought to determine the alignment in mathematics beliefs and mathematics assistance practices and the CCSM of a linguistically, economically and generationally diverse group of parents before and after a design-based research CCSSM intervention. Specifically, the study compared parents' views about the nature of mathematics and their views about the nature of mathematics teaching and learning before and after the intervention. The study also identified which of the eight CCSS mathematical practices (CCSS-MP) parent-child dyads engaged in before the intervention, and whether the number or the nature of the practices engaged in by parent-child dyads changed after the intervention. This study had four components: a parents' beliefs and practices survey, a parent beliefs and practices interview, observations of parent-child dyads collaboratively solving math tasks and an intervention (i.e., a series of five workshops). Although the size of this sample was small, there were quite a few noteworthy patterns observed that warrant attention in a future study. First, parents' beliefs about the nature of mathematics were fairly stable throughout the study. Parents tended to hold traditional notions of mathematics both before and after the workshop. In other words, the parents in this study believe that mathematics is primarily about numbers and calculations. Although shifts in parents' perceptions of what mathematics is and what it is not were less noticeable, there were more noticeable shifts in parents' beliefs about the nature of mathematics teaching and learning. For instance, after the workshops, parents were more likely to endorse children getting help from others and developing mathematics reasoning through playing games. There were also apparent shifts in the ways parents worked with their children on the provided mathematics tasks. From before to after the workshops, the number of CCSSMP observed increased from six to eight for both parents and their children. In addition, the frequency of CCSSMP talk turns increased, and the number of CCSSMP components increased. In other words, there was a higher abundance of mathematical practices and greater diversity within each practice observed after the intervention. Moreover, in contrast to the PreWorkshop finding that parents seemed to engage in the mathematical practices more than the children, after the workshops, children had greater engagement in the mathematical practices. This finding is evidenced by a decrease in the ratio of the number of CCSSMP talk turns coded as adult talk to the number of talk turns coded as child talk. Furthermore, both parents and children increased the number of minutes that they engaged in the CCSSMPs. Together these finding suggest that parents' mathematics assistance practices may have changed in such a way that allowed for more engagement of their child in the mathematical practices. Finally, there was not broad parental support for all of the mathematical practices. In particular, not all parents were accepting of children solving the tasks by creating visual representations. Parents found this mathematical practice ineffective and time consuming. However, although a parent's initial reaction to their child using a drawing was to redirect the child to a different problem solving approach, there was evidence that if a child persisted with the strategy the parent was able to accept the strategy as valid. Taken together, these findings illustrate the potential and challenges of explicitly engaging parents from marginalized communities in the CCSSMP. At its foundation, this study addresses issues of access and equity in mathematics education. This study has demonstrated that it is possible to bring parents into closer alignment with the CCSSM by providing them scaffolded opportunities to engage in the mathematical practices. It is my hope that by focusing on the support African American and Latino families may need to more fully participate in this mathematics reform, this study will provide insights into effective ways to empower two populations that have historically been underserved by our current educational system. |

| ccssmp: Successful K-12 STEM Education National Research Council, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, Board on Testing and Assessment, Board on Science Education, Committee on Highly Successful Schools or Programs for K-12 STEM Education, 2011-06-22 Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are cultural achievements that reflect our humanity, power our economy, and constitute fundamental aspects of our lives as citizens, consumers, parents, and members of the workforce. Providing all students with access to quality education in the STEM disciplines is important to our nation's competitiveness. However, it is challenging to identify the most successful schools and approaches in the STEM disciplines because success is defined in many ways and can occur in many different types of schools and settings. In addition, it is difficult to determine whether the success of a school's students is caused by actions the school takes or simply related to the population of students in the school. Successful K-12 STEM Education defines a framework for understanding success in K-12 STEM education. The book focuses its analysis on the science and mathematics parts of STEM and outlines criteria for identifying effective STEM schools and programs. Because a school's success should be defined by and measured relative to its goals, the book identifies three important goals that share certain elements, including learning STEM content and practices, developing positive dispositions toward STEM, and preparing students to be lifelong learners. A successful STEM program would increase the number of students who ultimately pursue advanced degrees and careers in STEM fields, enhance the STEM-capable workforce, and boost STEM literacy for all students. It is also critical to broaden the participation of women and minorities in STEM fields. Successful K-12 STEM Education examines the vast landscape of K-12 STEM education by considering different school models, highlighting research on effective STEM education practices, and identifying some conditions that promote and limit school- and student-level success in STEM. The book also looks at where further work is needed to develop appropriate data sources. The book will serve as a guide to policy makers; decision makers at the school and district levels; local, state, and federal government agencies; curriculum developers; educators; and parent and education advocacy groups. |

| ccssmp: Becoming a Great Inclusive Educator Scot Danforth, 2014 Inclusive education continues to grow in popularity and acceptance in the United States. However, most teachers - general and special educators - are poorly prepared to be successful in inclusive classrooms and schools. Undoubtedly, the challenge to professionals involves the acquisition of new knowledge and skills. But inclusion requires far more. It calls upon educators to trouble everything they think they know about disability, to question their deepest ethical commitments, to take up the work of the Disability Rights Movement in the public schools, and to leap headlong into the deepest waters of the rich craft tradition of inclusive teaching. This book offers educators the guidance and resources to become great inclusive educators by engaging in a powerful process of personal and professional transformation. |
| ccssmp: Making Sense of Algebra Ernest Paul Goldenberg, June Mark, Jane M. Kang, 2015 This book has much to offer teachers of middle and high school algebra who wish to implement the Common Core Standards for all of their students. -Hyman Bass, Samuel Eilenberg Distinguished University Professor of Mathematics & Mathematics Education, University of Michigan One of the joys of Making Sense of Algebra is how clearly and practically the 'how' question is answered. -Steven Leinwand, American Institutes for Research, author of Accessible Mathematics Paul Goldenberg and his colleagues have done a fantastic job of connecting mathematical ideas to teaching those ideas. -David Wees, New Visions for Public Schools, New York City Every teacher wants to help students make sense of mathematics; but what if you could guide your students to expect mathematics to make sense? What if you could help them develop a deep understanding of the reasons behind its facts and methods? In Making Sense of Algebra, the common misconception that algebra is simply a collection of rules to know and follow is debunked by delving into how we think about mathematics. This habits of mind approach is concerned not just with the results of mathematical thinking, but with how mathematically proficient students do that thinking. Making Sense of Algebra addresses developing this type of thinking in your students through: using well-chosen puzzles and investigations to promote perseverance and a willingness to explore seeking structure and looking for patterns that mathematicians anticipate finding-and using this to draw conclusions cultivating an approach to authentic problems that are rarely as tidy as what is found in textbooks allowing students to generate, validate, and critique their own and others' ideas without relying on an outside authority. Through teaching tips, classroom vignettes, and detailed examples, Making Sense of Algebra shows how to focus your instruction on building these key habits of mind, while inviting students to experience the clarity and meaning of mathematics-perhaps for the first time.

| ccssmp: Bringing Out the Algebraic Character of Arithmetic Analúcia D. Schliemann, David W. Carraher, Bárbara M. Brizuela, 2006-08-29 Bringing Out the Algebraic Character of Arithmetic contributes to a growing body of research relevant to efforts to make algebra an integral part of early mathematics instruction, an area of studies that has come to be known as Early Algebra. It provides both a rationale for promoting algebraic reasoning in the elementary school curriculum and empirical data to support it. The authors regard Early Algebra not as accelerated instruction but as an approach to existing topics in the early mathematics curriculum that highlights their algebraic character. Each chapter shows young learners engaged in mathematics tasks where there has been a shift away from computations on specific amounts toward thinking about relations and functional dependencies. The authors show how young learners attempt to work with mathematical generalizations before they have learned formal algebraic notation. The book, suitable as a text in undergraduate or graduate mathematics education courses, includes downloadable resources with additional text and video footage on how students reason about addition and subtraction as functions; on how students understand multiplication when it is presented as a function; and on how children use notations in algebraic problems involving fractions. These three videopapers (written text with embedded video footage) present relevant discussions that help identify students' mathematical reasoning. The printed text in the book includes transcriptions of the video episodes in the CD-ROM. Bringing Out the Algebraic Character of Arithmetic is aimed at researchers, practitioners, curriculum developers, policy makers and graduate students across the mathematics education community who wish to understand how young learners deal with algebra before they have learned about algebraic notation. |

| ccssmp: On the Self-Regulation of Behavior Charles S. Carver, Michael F. Scheier, 1998-10-28 This book presents a thorough overview of a model of human functioning based on the idea that behavior is goal-directed and regulated by feedback control processes. It describes feedback processes and their application to behavior, considers goals and the idea that goals are organized hierarchically, examines affect as deriving from a different kind of feedback process, and analyzes how success expectancies influence whether people keep trying to attain goals or disengage. Later sections consider a series of emerging themes, including dynamic systems as a model for shifting among goals, catastrophe theory as a model for persistence, and the question of whether behavior is controlled or instead 'emerges'. Three chapters consider the implications of these various ideas for understanding maladaptive behavior, and the closing chapter asks whether goals are a necessity of life. Throughout, theory is presented in the context of diverse issues that link the theory to other literatures. |

| ccssmp: Rehumanizing Mathematics for Black, Indigenous, and Latinx Students Imani Goffney, Rochelle Gutiérrez, Melissa Boston, 2018 Mathematics education will never truly improve until it adequately addresses those students whom the system has most failed. The 2018 volume of Annual Perspectives in Mathematics Education (APME) series showcases the efforts of classroom teachers, school counselors and administrators, teacher educators, and education researchers to ensure mathematics teaching and learning is a humane, positive, and powerful experience for students who are Black, Indigenous, and/or Latinx. The book's chapters are grouped into three sections: Attending to Students' Identities through Learning, Professional Development That Embraces Community, and Principles for Teaching and Teacher Identity. To turn our schools into places where children who are Indigenous, Black, and Latinx can thrive, we need to rehumanize our teaching practices. The chapters in this volume describe a variety of initiatives that work to place these often marginalized students--and their identities, backgrounds, challenges, and aspirations--at the center of mathematics teaching and learning. We meet teachers who listen to and learn from their students as they work together to reverse those dehumanizing practices found in traditional mathematics education. With these examples as inspiration, this volume opens a conversation on what mathematics educators can do to enable Latinx, Black, and Indigenous students to build on their strengths and fulfill their promise. |
