I'm happy to see that this highlights what specific concepts in which we should spend the most time.  As it is very easy to get carried away while teaching math on a concept that is not as important in my particular grade level.

I found it interesting that there is only 1 Kindergarten math lesson. I feel that this site would not be a good resource for Kindergarten based on the # of math lesson that I saw (1)

I really like how the resources they provided for each grade level are well explained. They also have taken the steps to ensure that everything is connected. The frequency of usage for their resources is also fully detailed.

I found 2 math lessons for Kindergarten but 50 lessons for ELA.  I like how there are student writing samples to go with lessons and actual prompts that teachers read before children write for opinion pieces.  One of the math lessons did give me a great idea to create a game for this time of the year!

"The Standards are designed around coherent progressions from grade to grade. Learning is carefully connected across grades so that students can build new understanding onto foundations built in previous years. Each standard is not a new event, but an extension of previous learning."

This sounds like a good starting point for vertical articulation in math.

I like the fact that they give us more resources to use. The assessments and lessons are perfect if you are having trouble explaining the concept. I know sometimes when something is explained differently to me I get it the second time around. Very awesome to have those at our fingertips and its free!!!

The website offers monthly webinars on various topics for math and ELA. You can even access webinars from the past or webinars you may have missed. The webinars are set up so that one is geared towards teachers and one is geared towards administrators on the same topic.

I'm glad people are realizing that they can not get to rigor, critical thinking or problem  solving if students have not grasped the basics. And as they use to say, "Practice Makes Perfect." Students not only need to practice a skill until they grasp it fully,. They need it to increase their speed or decrease the amount of time they spend completing math problems. I have always been an ADVOCATE for the things you discussed at the meeting

I really like the focus documents.  They could be helpful in choosing our focus standards for data collection.

Achievethecore.org :: Instructional Content Nav - Mathematics: Focus by Grade Level

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The Common Core and other college- and career-ready (CCR) standards call for a greater focus in mathematics. Rather than racing to cover topics in a mile-wide, inch-deep curriculum, CCR standards require us to significantly narrow and deepen the way time and energy are spent in the math classroom. We focus deeply on the major work of each grade so that students can gain strong foundations: solid conceptual understanding, a high degree of procedural skill and fluency, and the ability to apply the math they know to solve problems inside and outside the math classroom. The following documents illustrate these concepts using the Common Core State Standards, but Focus, Coherence, and Rigor are integral to all college- and career-ready standards.

AHA! There are more resources for math intervention that are simple, do not require a lot of materials or set up and are manageable in the 20 minute allotment. So far I like what I see. Thank you Math Team!!!

I think this is great.  It lends to real world application.  We can build on foundational skills, introduce new concepts, and provide more opportunities for connections across subjects.  The resources are there, we just need to take the time to construct meaningful lessons with all students in mind.

What caught my eye in rigor was that students should be able to "use math flexibly" in application to solve problems in many subjects.  Hi IB.  I need to create that 'bag of tricks' to make it second nature to integrate practical application into the block.

Not quite sure exactly how to implement these learning activities into my music class activities.... I mean music def helps kids learn, so there's always the basic "make a song out of it" strategy.... but as far as the lesson plans in THIS particular website, I'm not so sure how to use this effectively... apologies

and Illustrative Mathematics site tasks. I used those tasks in my fifth grade.  They were challenging and at times, fun.

I noticed that a lot of the fluency practices on Achievethecore.org are very similar (if not the same) as EngageNY. So yay EngageNY!

Last year in Grade 2 (not KC) we spent a lot of time and effort getting the kids to explain how they got an answer to assess understanding. Most students could easily get the correct answer but failed at justifying/explaining how they did it. How do we quickly assess and document understanding of a math concept without using a simple correct/incorrect marking of a problem?
