Content Area: Math Problem Solving

SLO Focus Statement: By the end of the 2025-2026 school year, ___% of students will independently solve real-world addition and subtraction word problems (e.g., using manipulatives or drawings), explain their thinking verbally, and represent the problems using objects, pictures, or number sentences.

What led to the decision: Historical campus data and need for additional application-based problem solving opportunities.

TEK: Copy TEK Verbiage directly from padlet.

STEP 2&3:

Well above typical: Utilize 2nd or 3rd grade TEK verbiage, for each other proficiency, build grade level TEKS in. Typical will be the Kindergarten TEK, anything below will be less than the kinder TEK. Reach out to Lily for help with this.

Student Growth Tracker:

After administering formative assessment 1, input initial skill level and student scores in this form.

SLO Focus Statement: During the 2025-202 school year, ___% of students will show proficiency in solving one-step addition and subtraction word problems within 10, representing their solutions with drawings and number sentences, and explaining strategies used.

SLO Focus Statement: By the end of the 2025-202 school year, __% of students will show proficiency in representing and solving both one-step and two-step word problems (within 1,000), using place-value strategies, modeling with drawings or equations, and explaining their reasoning.

SLO Focus Statement: By the end of the 2025-2026 school year, ____% of students will show proficiency in representing and solving one- and two-step word problems (within 1,000) using number lines, pictures, and equations, and will describe their steps in writing or verbally.

SLO Focus Statement: By the end of the 2025-2026 school year, ___% of students will show proficiency in modeling, representing, and solving multi-step word problems involving all four operations(including remainder interpretation), using diagrams, number sentences, or equations.

SLO Focus Statement: By the end of the 2025-202 school year, ___% of students will show proficiency in representing and solving multi-step word problems involving all four operations—including unknowns in equations, using representations such as symbolic equations, diagrams, or models.

1. Administer first formative.

2. Enter student data in student growth tracker in Edugence under "Prog Check 1"

3. Bring student data to next meeting (Sept 18)

4. Be prepared to discuss student initial proficiency, plan for formative #2, and dive into problem solving processes.

1. administer formative #2 and bring data to the October meeting to review

2. Come with 3 problem solving journals - a high, medium, and low sample

1. Bring 3 problem solving journal samples - (journals must include samples of independent problem solving evidence)

1. Record January Formative Data BY Feb 6 - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScordcLMGfTBEH8Y7Tsjai9Rs5axi2CBUxXjF71zGl8_fxYfw/viewform

2. Administer February formative but do not score! Bring your unscored formatives to our February meeting.
