Discussion: Know their content – CCSS Math Practice Standards & Progression (Equations & Expressions)
Homework
1. Reading #7: CCSS: Ratios and Proportional Relationships Progression https://commoncoretools.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/ccss_progression_rp_67_2011_11_12_corrected.pdf
2. POW #4:
Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in different ways. For example, compare a distance-time graph to a distance-time equation to determine which of two moving objects has greater speed.
Use similar triangles to explain why the slope m is the same between any two distinct points on a non-vertical line in the coordinate plane; derive the equation y = mx for a line through the origin and the equation y = mx + b for a line intercepting the vertical axis at b.
Design a multi-step math problem/project that addresses one or both of these standards and addresses at least three of the math practices. This task should pique students’ interest with images or video or have a connection to something realistic. How can you design a task that gets students to predict the final answer and be engaged in discovering the answer?
a. Write the prompt, the assignment that you would hand out to students, include images.
b. Create a sample response that would receive an A grade if you were the teacher
c. State the mathematical practices the problem addresses
3. Make a Key to use in seminar next week
· Complete the quiz
· assign points to each problem and get total points possible for the test
· consider possible errors and decide how you’ll grade each problem
4. No Observation Reflection Assigned - be sure to still upload a description of your hours this week to the Cal-Teach Portal. I suggest you briefly describe the class objective (SWBAT, standard), activity and teaching method for each different class (summarize your notes from the observation form).
