Ohio’s NLS Three Common Instructional Shifts

1. Build a deep understanding of content and effectively apply learning within and across disciplines.

2. Craft responses based on evidence including: demonstrate understanding, explain reasoning, and/or justify a position.

3. Use technology appropriately, strategically and ethically in academic and real-world settings.

The CCSS Requires Three Shifts in Mathematics

1. Focus: Focus strongly where the standards focus.

2. Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics

3. Rigor: In major topics, pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application

Rigor

8

• The CCSSM require a balance of: Solid conceptual understanding Procedural skill and fluency Application of skills in problem solving

situations

• Pursuit of all three requires equal intensity in time, activities, and resources.

Standards for Mathematical Practice

Grade Level OverviewGrade Level Overview

Grade 4 OverviewOperations and Algebraic Thinking

Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems.Gain familiarity with factors and multiples.Generate and analyze patterns.

Number and Operations in Base TenGeneralize place value understanding for multi-digit whole

numbers.Use place value understanding and properties of operations to

perform multi-digit arithmetic.Number and Operations—Fractions

Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering.Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending

previous understandings of operations on whole numbers.Understand decimal notation for fractions, and compare

decimal fractions.Measurement and Data

Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit.

Represent and interpret data.Geometric measurement: understand concepts of angle and

measure angles.Geometry

Draw and identify lines and angles, and classify shapes by properties of their lines and angles.

Mathematical Practices1. Make sense of problems and

persevere in solving them2. Reason abstractly and

quantitatively3. Construct viable arguments

and critique the reasoning of others

4. Model with mathematics5. Use appropriate tools

strategically6. Attend to precision7. Look for and make use of

structure8. Look for and express

regularity in repeated reasoning

Algebra Topics in 2013 Much of the content from Algebra 1 is now spread over grades 5 – 8Use Order of Operations – 5th gradeSimplify algebraic expressions – 6th gradeSolve linear equations and inequalities – 7th gradeGraph lines in slope-intercept form – 8th gradeSolve systems of equations – 8th grade

Linear Algebra is covered in 8th grade

Calculators on the NGA testsGrades 3 – 5 will not allow for calculator

usage. Grades 6-7 will allow for an online four

function calculator with square root. Grade 8 will allow for an online scientific

calculator. High School will allow for an online

calculator with functionalities similar to that of a TI-84 graphing calculator.

Provide calculator accommodations on the non-calculator test sessions of the mathematics summative assessments for SWD who meet the eligibility criteria

Calculator/ Non CalculatorProblems

What Are the Shifts for ELA?1. Complexity: Regular practice with complex

text and its academic language.

2. Evidence: Reading and writing grounded in evidence from text, literary and informational.

3. Knowledge: Building knowledge through content rich nonfiction.

20

PARCC builds a staircase of text complexity to ensure students are on track each year for college and career reading.

PARCC rewards careful, close reading rather than racing through passages.

PARCC systematically focuses on the words that matter most—not obscure vocabulary, but the academic language that pervades complex texts.

Shift 1: Regular practice with complex text and its academic language

21

PARCC focuses on students rigorously citing evidence from texts throughout the assessment (including selected-response items).

PARCC includes questions with more than one right answer to allow students to generate a range of rich insights that are substantiated by evidence from text(s).

PARCC requires writing to sources rather than writing to de-contextualized expository prompts.

PARCC includes rigorous expectations for narrative writing, including accuracy and precision in writing in later grades.

Shift 2: Reading and writing grounded in evidence from text, literary and informational

22

PARCC assesses not just ELA but a full range of reading and writing across the disciplines of science and social studies.

PARCC simulates research on the assessment, including the comparison and synthesis of ideas across a range of informational sources.

Shift 3: Building knowledge through content rich nonfiction

23

• Demonstrate Independence

• Build strong content knowledge

• Respond to the varying demands of audience, task, purpose and discipline

• Comprehend, as well as, critique

• Value evidence

• Use technology and digital media strategically and capably

• Come to understand other perspectives and cultures

As a Result, our students will be able to...

ELA/Literacy Mathematics

Classroom Materials and Instructional Resources

Reading lists are appropriately balanced between nonfiction and literary text.

Materials are focused

Teacher Knowledge and Practice

At least 80% of questions are text-dependent.

Teachers have a deep understanding of the major work of their grade.

Student Work Student work demonstrates close encounters with text - demanding evidence through writing.

Student work demonstrates fluency and deep understanding in the major work of the grade.

Third-Grade Guarantee Goal: Ensuring All Students Can Read

Early Reading InterventionStudents receive help and support in the

specific area of reading that is difficult for them

New policy strengthens current law and includes more reading intervention

Senate Bill 316Provide early intervention and support

in reading for at risk students at grades K-3

Administer reading diagnostics to all K-3 students by Sept. 30 each year

Develop individualized Reading Improvement and Monitoring Plans for students deemed “not on-track” (not reading at grade level)

Senate Bill 316Provide interventions for K-3 students

“not on track” and students retained under the Third Grade Guarantee

Report data results to the Department of Education

Retain 3rd grade students that do not meet the required cut score.
