** November 18th, 2011 ** ** Agenda ** ** Burbank Computer Lab ** ** 8-4 **
 * Math K-5 Course of Study Meeting **


 * 8:15 - 8:20 Welcome, Introductions **


 * 8:20 - 8:30 Purpose, Process, Agenda **


 * 8:30 - 9:00 Discussion about homework **
 * Read Introduction of Common Core (pp. 3-5)
 * CC Video - Math Standards: How they were developed and who was involved (8:11)
 * CC Video - Math Standards: Key Changes and their evidence (4:38)
 * Questions, comments, concerns


 * 9:00 - 10:00 **** Diving into the K-5 Common Core **
 * Divide into groups of K-2 and 3-5
 * Read through your grade band's CC standards
 * Pay close attention to the first two pages of each grade level (critical areas & overview)
 * Identify Critical Areas of Focus for each grade level
 * Compare each Critical Area of Focus to those for the preceding and succeeding grades to become familiar with previous and future learnings
 * What understandings does this learning build upon?
 * What are the related future understandings?
 * Share out your findings to the larger group


 * 10:00 - 10:15 Break **


 * 10:15 - 11:15 Math Coach Update **
 * Briefly describe the process you have used to get to the point you are at right now


 * 11:15 - 11:30 Discussion of addition of math content to the CC **


 * 11:30 - 12:30 Lunch **


 * 12:30 - 3:30 Standards for Mathematical Practice **
 * Read pp. 6-8 in CC introduction - "Standards for Mathematical Practice"
 * Watch Hunt Institute Video - "The Importance of Mathematical Practices" (4:02)
 * Discussion: What is the purpose and importance of the Mathematical Practices?
 * Diving into the Standards for Mathematical Practices
 * Divide into groups of 2-3, making sure there is at least one K-2 and one 3-5 representative
 * Choose a Mathematical Practice to learn more about
 * Describe two examples of how this practice would be evident in a classroom (one K-2 example and one 3-5 example)
 * examples could include student work, teacher modeling, math problems that expect one of the practices, etc)
