COMMON CORE INSIDER, THE: ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH

The Common Core Standards were designed to raise and align student achievement in the United States and give students greater focus and coherence in mathematics. The standards aim to give students a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of mathematics and prepare them for college and careers in mathematics.

This video explores how educators and school leaders are implementing strategies in the classroom to meet the Common Core Math Standards, both math practices and math content. In-depth profiles of teachers and math coaches, along with practical classroom examples will show how elementary and middle schools are meeting the challenges of the new Common Core directives. The video will also feature comments from students to reveal how increased verbal fluency in tackling math problems improves comprehension and meets multiple Common Core standards (real-life application, ability to reason and critique others, precision, and modeling, et al.). Featuring two schools, a middle school in San Jose, California (Ida Price Middle School) and an elementary school in Silver Spring, Maryland (Georgian Forest Elementary School) this video shows how collaborative teaching, professional development, formative assessment, and technology help meet the goals of Common Core State Standards for math. Teachers explain how these strategies inform their curriculum and help prepare students for testing, college, and careers in mathematics.

COMMON CORE INSIDER, THE: HIGH SCHOOL MATH

Go inside an award-winning high school's math and science classrooms to witness the evolving process of implementing the Common Core State Standards for mathematics. Sleepy Hollow High in New York is a snapshot of a racially and economically diverse public high school. Led by a dynamic principal, Sleepy Hollow's math and science teachers have embraced the implementation of the Common Core standards and are taking collaboration between departments to a new level. Featuring interviews with the principal and teachers as well as scenes from real classrooms, this video explores how lesson plans are developed across departments, the school's strategy for "teaching to the individual," and how teachers work with students ranging from English as a second language classes to AP Calculus. Testimonies from students and parents show how effective this transformation has been. At Sleepy Hollow High, both collaborative teaching and a principal willing to let her faculty teach "outside the box" have led to a challenging and rewarding environment where students are thriving.

MEANINGFUL MATHEMATICS: LEADING STUDENTS TOWARD UNDERSTANDING AND APPLICATION

Regardless of how well your students performed on the latest math assessment, how can you make sure that your program is teaching students the essential math concepts that they'll need for the next assessment and beyond? Here's a new resource that explores that question and introduces you to what schools and teachers are doing to engage students in math lessons that promote deeper understandings of math curriculum.

Use the DVD with study groups, workshops, school improvement teams, and professional learning communities to explore current perspectives on content of and instructional strategies for mathematics in grades K-12. Introduce your school to classroom techniques that actively engage students in deeper conceptual thinking about the subject. And demonstrate classroom activities and teaching strategies that

  • Address student prior knowledge and misconceptions about mathematics
  • Challenge students to justify and explain their understanding of mathematics
  • Provide opportunities for students to use multiple ways to demonstrate what they've learned in resolving mathematical problems
  • Connect mathematics to real-life situations and problems
  • Provide chances for students to apply math content they've learned

    A2 MATHS: MINIMUM SPANNING TREES

    In this lesson the class look at finding minimum spanning trees from a matrix. In previous lessons the students have been introduced to finding minimum spanning trees using Kruskal's algorithm and Prim's algorithm. Students apply these network algorithms to find the smallest way in which a network can be connected.

    LEARNING DISABILITIES, LEARNING ABILITIES 6: TEACHING MATH

    A systematic approach for children with learning disabilities

    Joyce Steeves, Ed.D., a master teacher and teacher trainer from Johns Hopkins University, demonstrates the connection between math learning problems, dyslexia and attention disorders and also how they differ. Dr. Steeves has devised a lesson plan for math teaching which she sets out in detail for a class of teachers and then shows the plan in action with two groups of children, a demonstration of theoretical and practical math teaching that turns out to be fun. Sessions with Robin Rogers-Browne, Educational Therapist, doing the kind of teaching that helped a student who found numbers impossibly challenging.

    NURSERY / RECEPTION MATHS - CROSS-CURRICULUM: JACK & THE BEANSTALK

    This lesson is filmed in a unique early years unit comprising of 20 nursery children and 30 reception age children supported by two teachers and four classroom assistants.

    The two teachers have agreed to use a shared theme of Jack and the Beanstalk for the sessions. Children in both reception and nursery groups work on a variety of numeracy focussed activities to consolidate and extend their learning. The timetable is organised so that most able nursery pupils can work with reception aged pupils. Some pupils have a free choice of activity, whilst others are given a selection chosen by the teacher or TA.

    RECEPTION MATHS - ADDITION

    This early years session children begin to look at addition. Previously children have been counting in twos, fives and tens.

    The theme is 'Under the Sea' and children are shown the four different methods of adding groups together. Strategies of addition are introduced, followed by differentiated games.

    Finally children explore the continuous provision in the classroom to reinforce their skills.

    RECEPTION MATHS - COUNTING AND NUMBER BONDS

    This lesson is based on the topic 'Under the Sea' where children revisit all the skills that they have learnt so far in order to see where they are and what they will do next. This includes revisiting numbers, accurate counting, number bonds and problem solving.

    A range of differentiated activities take place. The lower ability group play messy maths recognising, ordering and writing numbers. Middle ability pupils work together outside to problem solve and record answers. The higher ability group play the role of roving reporters, recording with marks.
