DIS PARCC Evidence Statement Analysis Reflections 2018 by Mary Jo Hutchinson https://padlet.com/mhutchin/DIS2018PARCC Your thoughts and reflections about what's working well and what we might improve en-us 2018-10-08 15:04:59 UTC 2018-10-11 12:33:39 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Growing.png Fractions https://padlet.com/mhutchin/DIS2018PARCC/wish/290684795 Our fraction understanding seems to be lacking, but knowing that we can spend a little extra time focusing on some of the early skills that can lead to misunderstandings later.  Maybe we can find games or additional materials to help raise the interest and understanding with fractions.
-Some of our key understanding in addition and subtraction is also lacking. Perhaps, as time goes on they'll gain more confidence.]]> 2018-10-09 12:29:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mhutchin/DIS2018PARCC/wish/290684795 https://padlet.com/mhutchin/DIS2018PARCC/wish/290684928 The questions assessed by a majority of students for Operations & Algebraic Thinking were mostly near the state]]> 2018-10-09 12:30:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mhutchin/DIS2018PARCC/wish/290684928 Measurement https://padlet.com/mhutchin/DIS2018PARCC/wish/290684993 Student understanding was better this year. I'm hopeful that with new program we continue to see growth in all areas.]]> 2018-10-09 12:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mhutchin/DIS2018PARCC/wish/290684993 Measurement and Data and Fractions are areas where improvement is needed. We also need to look at geometry. We also did well in these areas (???), so we need to look at the types of questions that were given. https://padlet.com/mhutchin/DIS2018PARCC/wish/290685023
A strength is in the area of operations.]]> 2018-10-09 12:30:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mhutchin/DIS2018PARCC/wish/290685023 3rd Grade Math PARCC Thoughts https://padlet.com/mhutchin/DIS2018PARCC/wish/290685071 We need to focus on the following concepts: 1) Operations and Algebraic Thinking, 2) Numbers and Operations in Base Ten and in Fractions, 3) Geometry, 4) Measurement and Data.

Our students seem to be very proficient in measurement however one area we should focus on their  algebraic thinking.
