Purpose of this Purpose of this PresentationPresentation
Share the PUSD math program for Grade 6 and 7
Develop an understanding of the expectations and options for students in math as they become college and career ready
Answers questions about mathematics at Middle School in Poway Unified School District
“All students need a high quality mathematics program designed to prepare them to graduate from high school ready for college, career, and civic life.”
- Mathematics Framework, Introduction Page 1
The California State Framework for The California State Framework for Mathematics 2013Mathematics 2013
The development of strong, deep Algebraic thinking is the most important prerequisite for success in in higher level mathematical
reasoning and application in problem solving in later life.
Mastery and application of the basic components of math at middle school is
critical for use in later career and life.
Guiding Purposes in Middle Guiding Purposes in Middle School MathSchool Math
Components of Math Instruction
2 Sets of Standards
Standards of Mathematical Practice(What do we want students to do)…
Mathematical Content Standards (What do we want students to know)..
Overarching Habits of Mind
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
6. Attend to precision
Reasoning and Explaining2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Modeling and Using Tools
4. Model with mathematics
5. Use appropriate tools strategically
Seeing Structure and Generalizing
7. Look and make use of structure
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

What questions do you have on the Mathematical Standards of Practice and/or Content…
Before we move on to a little class work…..?
How can you help your child in math?
Help your children practice their addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts.
Encourage your children not to give up while solving problems, so they can build their “math stamina” and develop their critical thinking skills. Don’t give them the answers - ask them to think of different ways they can solve problems.
Have your children illustrate the math they were thinking in their head and discuss it with you out loud.
Have your children apply their math knowledge to a real-world scenario at home, such as doubling a recipe or calculating the area of a room.
