What Do They Know? How to Make the Best of Data from the GLoSS and IKAN – Resources - The presentation “What Do They Know? How to Make the Best of Data from the GLoSS and IKAN” references several resources. Many of these resources are provided in this folder.
What Do They Know? How to Make the Best of Data from the GLoSS and IKAN - The GloSS assessment enables you to identify the strategy stage students are operating at across all three strategy domains, known as the global strategy stage. It consists of a series of strategy questions that can be administered to individual students in a few minutes. The IKAN assessment identifies the knowledge stages students are operating at across all five knowledge domains, known as the global knowledge stage. The IKAN interview is for students at the counting stages of the number framework. This presentation provides information on these assessments and how the data from them can be used to make student-specific instructional decisions.

Making Sense Series: The Progression of Multiplication and the Standard Traditional Algorithm - Graham Fletcher presents a video lasting less than 6 minutes in which he explains the progression of multiplication beginning with second grade work with arrays through the development of the standard algorithm in fifth grade using a concrete-representational-abstract approach as indicated in the GSE standards.
Making Sense Series: The Progression of Division and the Standard Traditional Algorithm (aka: Long Division) - Graham Fletcher discusses and illustrates how students develop a conceptual understanding of division through the GSE mathematics standards from third grade to sixth grade. A concrete-representational-abstract approach, as indicated in the standards, is demonstrated in this short (7:49 minutes) video.
Making Sense Series: The Progression of Addition and Subtraction - The progression of addition and subtraction as defined in the GSE mathematics standards is illustrated in this short (7:20 minutes) video by Graham Fletcher. A concrete-representational-abstract approach, as indicated in the standards, is demonstrated.
Looking Inside Mathematics Classrooms: Implementing the Curriculum Frameworks Units - This video features several Georgia classrooms in which teachers are using the Georgia Unit Curriculum Frameworks tasks. It is designed as a professional learning resource intended to spark discussion and reflection among teachers, math instructional coaches, parents, and administrators.
K-12 Mathematics Formative Assessment Lessons – Resources - This folder contains resources provided with the “K-12 Mathematics Formative Assessment Lesson Overview” presentation.
K-12 Mathematics Formative Assessment Lesson Overview - Formative Assessment Lessons (FALs) are classroom-ready lessons that support formation assessment. This presentation provides information about the two types of FALs: concept development lessons and problem solving lessons. It references resources for implementing the lessons.
GSE Mathematics Standards Kindergarten - Fifth Grade - Georgia Standards of Excellence in Mathematics for grades kindergarten through fifth grades are contained in this document.
GSE Mathematics Glossary: K-12 - The GSE Mathematics Glossary provides definitions for key terminology used in the Georgia Standards of Excellence for math. Links to sources with further information are provided for some terms. In addition, tables illustrating common addition and subtraction situations, common multiplication and division situations, and properties of operations are included.
GSE Effective Practices Guide for Mathematics - Three Act Tasks, formative instructional practices, and Number Talks are described. Information on why and why these structures are useful and what students can learn from experiencing them are provided. Resources for each structure are given or linked within the document.
Georgia Milestones EOG Content Weights - Grade-level charts provide the approximate weights for domains on each Georgia Milestones Assessment in grade 4. Each Georgia Milestones Assessment is aligned to the state-adopted content standards.
A Beginner's Guide to Number Talks - Resources - This folder contains the PowerPoint and supporting resources for the presentation "A Beginner's Guide to Number Talks."
A Beginner's Guide to Number Talks - This presentation with a PowerPoint and supporting resources gives pointers for implementing Number Talks as a routine to help students build number sense, gain flexibility with numbers and their relationships, and develop strategies for operations.
