❖ Planning and Anticipating with an Upcoming Unit
❖ Planning for Site Collaboration
Objectives
Teachers will : ❖ Reflect on implementation and site collaboration
❖ Deepen understanding of how to reinforce norms of group work to promote meaningful discussion
❖ Plan math instruction using an upcoming unit from the SFUSD Math Core Curriculum
Norms
Challenge ideasRespect each others’ thinking
Assume positive intentionsShare talk time
Encourage reflection and revisionThose that work, learn
Reflections on Implementation
● What has been going well?
● What challenges have you faced?
● What questions do you have?
● Generate solutions and ideas to a question or a
challenge.
Core Curriculum Cycle - Reflection
School Loop
School Loop is being used for electronic access to the Math Core Curriculum.
We are also using lockers and discussions for:
● Clarifications● Corrections● Additions
School Loop - Accessing UnitsAccessing the electronic versions of the Units on SchoolLoop● Go to sfusd.edu● Click on “School Loop” in the upper right hand corner● Find your school● Click on “Login”
Once you are in School Loop:● Click on “Groups” in the upper right hand corner and select
“Join/Create Groups”● In the Lookup box next to “Other Groups” type “algebra” or “geometry”● Click on the name of a group you want to join (eg. “Algebra 2 Group”)● In the Toolbox, click on “Join this group”● Click on the “Locker” tab. The units will be there!

School Loop - AdditionsHow do we share resources with other sites?
1. Designate one teacher at your site per grade level to be your uploaders.2. Go to School Loop – Group Lockers
● Unit Folder (i.e. Unit A.2)● There is a folder in each unit named "Additions"
● Click "Add" to upload or drag and drop into the Additions folder.1. Include the unit, section, and description in the file name. For example:
● 3.5 Entry Task - ELL Vocabulary● G.2 Apprentice Task - Student Work● 6.2 LS2 Day 3 - HW Graph problems 2
School Loop - AdditionsHow do we share resources with other sites?
Some ideas for how to use this tool:1. Together, look at Schoolloop to be sure everyone has access to
current materials and knows where to see the Additions Folder.
2. As a grade level team, discuss and plan additional resources you might need with each other.
3. Upload files during department or grade level meeting times once a week (or every two weeks).
Survey Monkey - Revision Feedback
What does your site want the developers to know to improve the next version?
Survey Monkey

Technology Time
Go online and perform at least one of these tasks:
● Survey Monkey – provide revision feedback on Units
0 and 1
● School Loop – access and use lockers and
discussions● sfusdmath.org – explore resources for teachers
Break
Group Work
My vision of a group that works well is…
Finish the sentence above onthe piece of paper provided
A group that works well looks like...
Form a group of four where each person has a different color piece of paper.
● Share your sentences● Similarities and differences● Identify a common theme
Participation Quiz - Strategy #3
Purpose: to reinforce norms for collaboration
How do you get your students to “work together?”
Algebra Math Task - Participation QuizToday I am looking for:● Group questions only● Thinking in the middle
○ leaning in○ papers in the middle○ think out loud to the whole group
● Asking others to justify their reasoning○ How did you know…?○ Do you mean…?○ Why does that mean...?
Participation Quiz - Debrief
Talk to a partner:● What was the teacher doing/not doing during the task?● How did the PQ impact your group participation?● Why was it important that the PQ was public?● How did highlighting certain things in other groups support
your group work today and for the future?
For more information, see Math Teaching Toolkit, pages 28 - 29.
Debriefing Content
As a student, what math did you learn in the debrief?
What teacher moves occurred before and during the lesson that were needed to highlight the mathematical content?

Please read page 25 in your Math Teaching Toolkit
Experience Planning a Task with Anticipating
1. Do the Math
2. Questions Actions
How might students interpret this task?
What are the variety of strategies that students might use (correct and incorrect)?
How are their strategies related to the math they are learning?
What are possible misconceptions or places where students might get stuck?
Studying the Next Unit
Read the Unit Overview● What stands out to you?● What is the math that students need to
understand by the end of this unit?● How might this unit build on the
previous unit?
Next Steps
For you and your team:
● Survey Monkey● Schoolloop - Additions● Participation Quiz● Planning with Anticipation● Other
Create an Action Plan for your site.
