Some Changes for Math with CCSS

STATE AND

COLLEGE

APPROVED

• Some Elementary concepts have shifted to 6th Grade Math

• Geometry has new concepts; Transformational Geometry and Statistics

• Some Trig, Math Analysis, and Statistics concepts have shifted to Algebra 1 & 2

• Trig & Math Analysis are no longer offered as courses, they are replaced by Pre-Calculus

• New 8th Grade Math Course

NOT YOUR MOTHER’S ALGEBRA 1(based on sample “Traditional” pathway in CA Framework by LACOE)

These Standards are not intended to be new names for old ways of doing business.They are a call to take the next step.”

HIGH SCHOOL ACCELERATION PATHWAY

• What if you don’t accelerate in middle school? • What if you accelerated in middle school, where will you

end up?• How do you end up enrolling in higher math courses, such

as AP Calculus and AP Statistics & Probability?

DIFFERENTIATING TO MEET THE NEEDS OF ALL STUDENTS

Traditional Pathway (Jenna)• Begins with CC Math 6• Can end with AP Calculus AB, BC or AP Statistics• Possibility of completing 1 or 2 AP Courses

Accelerated Pathway (Sam)• Begins with CC Math 6• Can end with AP Calculus AB, BC or AP Statistics• Possibility of completing 1 or 2 AP Courses

Alternative Accelerated Pathway (Kayla)• Begins with Alt. Acceleration CC Math 6/7• Can end with AP Calculus AB, BC and AP Statistics or higher• Possibility of completing up to 3 AP Courses

FINAL THOUGHTS

Common Core provides universal access for all students to accelerate regardless of where they begin while at the same time providing the “gift of time” to develop strong foundational understanding and skills for math

The current 3 pathways meet the needs of all students, are UCOP approved, and aligned for college requirements and acceptance.

Common Core works for all students

Elementary School Responsibilities• Run list of 5th grade students meeting

placement criteria: –A score of 4 in math on all report cards

for grades 4 and 5–Teacher recommendation–Administrator recommendation–Parent can appeal to have student tested

if student does not meet all three criteria

Elementary School Responsibilities

• Notify parents/guardians that their child has qualified to take the Amplify accelerated placement exam

Elementary School Responsibilities• Assess ONLY 5th grade students that

qualify during the testing window at the elementary schools–Amplify Testing Window: May 18 – 29

(non-negotiable according to OCISS) Students who missed or weren’t not able to assess at their school due to low numbers they can go to ESCN to be assessed.

Elementary School Responsibilities• Elementary Principal holds Parent

Information Meetings for any parents who have not already received the presentation. • These meetings may be held concurrently

with testing during the school day or in the evening
