What are standards?

Standards establish the

criteria for students’academic

achievement and drive what

studentslearn in the

classroom.

Content Standards: Broad statements of what students should

know and be able to do at each grade level

Performance standards (Grade Level Expectations/Elements/Benchmarks)

M3P2. Students will reason and evaluate mathematical arguments. Recognize reasoning and proof as fundamental aspects of mathematics. Make and investigate mathematical conjectures.

Develop and evaluate mathematical arguments and proofs.

Select and use various types of reasoning and methods of proof.

M4G2. Students will understand fundamental solid figures.

Compare and contrast a cube and a rectangular prism in terms of the number and shape of their faces, edges, and vertices.

Describe parallel and perpendicular lines and planes in connection with the rectangular prism.

Construct/collect models for solid geometric figures ( cube, prisms, cylinder, etc.)

Define what all students should know and be able to do at the end of each grade level:

What is a Standard/Performance Based Classroom?

a) Where there are desired results

b) Standards dictate plans c) Teacher and students both

use language related to standards

d) A variety of resources are used by both teacher and students

e) Students are actively engaged in a performance task that is directly related to the standards and the real world.

(performance based) Assessments used to

plan instruction

Standard/Performance Based Instruction:

Essential questions are posed

in the room, for example:

•How do we use addition and subtraction to tell number stories?

•How are addition and subtraction alike?

•How are addition and subtraction different? Lesson

Plans and

Learning Aids

•Word wall displayed with key vocabulary and common language related to the standards

•Variety of resources for teacher and student use (textbook, internet, other books, etc.)

•Lesson plan includes both guided and independent practices or a variety of assessments (performance based).

Standards/Performance Based Instruction:

a) Assessments drive instruction

b) Skills assessments c) Performance
