3 ÷ 1/7
Trang 3A student said this…
When asked to justify the solution to 3 ÷ 1/7
Trang 4A student said this…
When asked to justify the solution to 3 ÷ 1/7
“Just change the division sign to
multiplication and flip the fraction after the sign 3 ÷ 1/7 becomes 3 x 7/1 So I find 3/1 x 7/1 which is 21/1 or 21.”
Trang 5A student said this…

“Just change the division sign to
multiplication and flip the fraction after the sign 3 ÷ 1/7 becomes 3 x 7/1 So I find
3/1 x 7/1 which is 21/1 or 21.”
Is this an acceptable justification?
Trang 6Another student said this…
When asked to justify the solution to 3 ÷ 1/7
“I know there are 7 groups of 1/7 in one whole Since there are three wholes, I have 3 x 7 or 21 groups of 1/7 in 3
wholes so 3 ÷ 1/7 = 21.”
Trang 7Another student said this…

“I know there are 7 groups of 1/7 in one whole Since there are three wholes, I have 3 x 7 or 21 groups of 1/7 in 3

How is this justification different and
what does it have to do with the CCSSM?
Trang 8Background of the CCSSM
• Published by the National Governor’s
Association and the Council of Chief State
School Officers in June 2010
• Result of collaboration from 48 states
• Provides a focused curriculum with an
emphasis on teaching for depth
Trang 9Background of the CCSSM
Minnesota adopted the CCSS in ELA/literacy only
45 States + DC have adopted the Common Core State Standards
Trang 10Background of the CCSSM
“… standards must address the problem of a curriculum that is ‘a mile wide and an inch
deep.’ These Standards are a substantial
answer to that challenge” (CCSS, 2010, p 3)
Trang 11Background of the CCSSM
“… standards must address the problem of a curriculum that is ‘a mile wide and an inch
deep.’ These Standards are a substantial
answer to that challenge” (CCSS, 2010, p 3)
We’ve already met this challenge in Florida How can we use our momentum to take us further and deeper?

Trang 14Content Standards
• Standards – define what students should know
and be able to do
• Clusters – group related standards
• Domains – group related clusters
• Critical Areas – much like our big ideas
Trang 15Content Standards
Measurement and Data
K.MD
Describe and compare measurable attributes.
1.Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight
Describe several measurable attributes of a single object.
2.Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has “more of”/“less of” the attribute, and describe the
difference For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter.
Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category.
3.Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count.

Trang 17Background of the CCSSM
The CCSSM consist of Content Standards and Standards for Mathematical Practice
“The Standards for Mathematical Practice
describe varieties of expertise that
mathematics educators at all levels should
seek to develop in their students” (CCSS,
2010, p 6)
Trang 18The Standards for Mathematical Practice are based on:
Making Sense of the
Mathematical Practices
• The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics’ (NCTM) Principles and Standards for School Mathematics
(NCTM, 2000), and
• The National Research Council’s (NRC)
Adding It Up (NRC, 2001).

Trang 23According to a recommendation from the Center for the Study of
Mathematics Curriculum (CSMC,
2010), we should lead with the
Mathematical Practices Florida is
positioned well to do this.
Trang 24Lead with Mathematical Practices
1Implement CCSS beginning with mathematical practices,
2Revise current materials and assessments to connect to practices, and
3Develop an observational scheme for principals that supports developing mathematical practices
(CSMC, 2010)

Making Sense of the
Mathematical Practices
1 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
Trang 26Impact on Depth… (NGSSS)
Grade 4 Big Idea 1: Develop quick recall of
multiplication facts and related division facts
and fluency with whole number multiplication
MA.4.A.1.2: Multiply multi-digit whole numbers through four digits fluently, demonstrating
understanding of the standard algorithm, and checking for reasonableness of results,
including solving real-world problems.
Trang 27Number & Operations in Base Ten NBT
Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic
5 Multiply multi-digit numbers using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations Illustrate and explain the calculations by using
equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

Trang 48Reason abstractly and
quantitatively
Reasoning abstractly and quantitatively
often involves making sense of
mathematics in real-world contexts.
Word problems can provide examples of mathematics in real-world contexts.
This is especially useful when the contexts are meaningful to the students.

strategically
This practice will be very difficult to capture in textbook-driven instruction
Trang 61Use appropriate tools
strategically
This practice supports hands-on learning
Tools must include technology
Tools manipulatives, number lines, and paper and pencil
Mathematically proficient students know which tool to use for a given task
