MATH 2008-2009

• Walla Walla School District

2
Things to Discuss

• Pacing
• New time lines, new format
• New Standards
• What we will be teaching towards
• Materials we will be using
• Origo
• This will be your number sense
  curriculum
• First Steps
• Continue training and think about how to
  use this professional development effectively

3
PACING

• Our goal is that as students move around the
  district we have a common timeline so they are
  not repeating or missing important content in
  math.
• Outline
• Algebra Graphing are on-going throughout the
  year
• Geometry, Measurement, Probability teach the
  content (unit) during the designated term, but
  you do not need to teach it for the WHOLE term
  (might only take a week or two)
• Number Sense is taught through Origo. You need
  to follow the sequence of the materials, although
  you may slow down to review or reteach as
  appropriate.

4
Sample Pacing Guides

• Color coded document includes all content areas
• Text document includes only content not covered
  by Origo

5
Color Coded Sample
Available grade level materials to be used
Measurement standards will be the focus for the
first half of the year, and Geometry the focus
for the second.

Text Pacing Guide
7
New Standards

• Created through a combined effort of the
  Washington State School Board, Independent
  Consultants, OSPI, Washington teachers, Citizens
  of Washington, and the Legislature.

8
Alignment New and Old

• First test will be in 2010. Begin implementation
  this year.
• Be aware that 3rd, 4th, 5th will still be tested
  on old standards this year. Use alignment
  document to help you touch on the old standards
  that will be tested.
• Also all grade levels will need to be aware that
  some of the new standards for the grade below
  will not have been taught.

9
Changes in Standards

• More computation
• Less content to cover but more in-depth

10
CORE CONTENT

• The core content areas describe the major
  mathematical focuses of each grade level or
  course, guiding teachers as to where to put their
  greatest time and emphasis. from OSPI p.3

11
KEY CONTENT

• Additional key content for each grade level and
  course presents important expectations that might
  not require the same amount of instructional time
  as the core content areas, including those
  expectations that might extend a previously
  learned skill, plant a seed for future
  development, or address a focused topic, such as
  scientific notation. But all the additional key
  content expectations are important and expected
  to be taught from OSPI p.3

12
CORE PROCESSES

• Each grade level and course includes a section
  on core processes with that expectations address
  reasoning, problem solving and communication.

13

Bolded are Core Content Standards
14
Across the Grades Standards

• Broken down by core content, key content, and
  core processes.
• You have all grade levels.

15
Tests Aligned to Standards

• We have grade level tests aligned to each
  standard.
• You may use as you and/or your building see fit.
• Can be a quick way to get a handle on the
  material

16
Dates for Inservices Related to New Standards

• Fractions (Grades 3-5)
• October 2 16 30, Nov. 13
• 300 to 500
• Measurement (Grades 2-5)
• Dates TBD
• 300 to 500
• Geometry (Grades 3-5)
• January 22 29, February 12
• 3 to 5 p.m

17
Origo

• James Burnett is author, from Australia.
• Published in the United States through Sandy
  Atkins.
• Sandy Atkins was our trainer last year for our
  LID Day and additional training in February.
• Origos focus is on developing number sense and
  computation fluency.

18
Spanish Origo

• Fundamental Games directions will be translated.
• End of unit assessments will be translated.
• Think Tanks are currently in process of being
  translated by the company, but not available yet.
• Teachers manuals will be in English but can be
  taught in Spanish as appropriate.
• Student workbooks are in English but are
  generally computationally based so should require
  minimal explanation.

19
Kinder and Origo

• Number Teachers Manual
• The range of activities in this book help
  children develop a strong foundation in early
  number by focusing on the four big concepts of
  counting, quantity, order, and relative position.
  The 60 activities and 40 blackline masters are
  carefully designed to strengthen children's
  abilities to represent, reason, communicate,
  problem solve, and connect mathematical ideas..
• Beginning Processes Teacher Manual
• This book actively involves children in the
  initial reasoning processes of identifying and
  describing attributes, matching, sorting,
  comparing, and ordering. The 75 activities and 37
  blackline masters are carefully designed to
  encourage and strengthen children's abilities to
  represent, reason, communicate, problem solve,
  and connect mathematical ideas.

Fundamentals Games to develop and reinforce
mental computatational strategies
20
Origo Teachers Sourcebook

• Grades 1, 2, 3 we have teacher manuals
• Grades 4 5 we will have some materials to start
  the year and the rest will come in October.
• Each manual is divided into 12 units. Each unit
  teaches a computational strategy supported with
  worksheets and games, review and intervention
  materials.
• Teachers manual ties Figure It, Mathementals,
  Student Journal, Fundamentals, Book Box of
  Facts altogether.
• Includes pre post test for the year (may be
  different for each grade level). And a test for
  each unit.

21
Origo Student Journal

• Learning Log in which students record their
  daily thinking and working.
• 2 journal pages for each session one for class
  use and one for practice.
• Take a long time!
• Can do for homework or do in class or as review
  the next day or for students who move faster.

22
Origo Figure It(Computation Practice)

• Provides one additional page of computational
  practice for every session.

  and develop basic facts strategies.
• When to use is referenced in sourcebook. (Page 3
  of each unit)
• Reference suggests use as intervention materials,
  but for this first year it might be better to use

Origo

• Plan on it taking LONGER than an hour per
  session.
• You may need to pull materials from the grade
  level below to help build concepts.

  strategies after they have been taught. (Try to
  incorporate into all activities)

30
Origo

• As a grade level review and look at your
  materials
