Understanding the Transition to Common
CoreTeams of Howard County Math Teachers, ITLs, and MISTs
developed the transition plan:
Examined cohorts of students
Examined what pre-requisite skills would be necessary to be successful for each Common Core course
Examined what skills students have currently obtained
Determined how best to fill in gaps to meet needs
Organized information into the transition plan
What will Grade 7 MSM II look like in 2012-2013?
In 2012-2013, students will be receiving most of the Common Core 7 curriculum.
Some gaps will exist, so there will be notes about blended curriculum and other standards/objectives to teach to depth. Fraction sense and operations must be mastered this year.
Grade 7 MSM II looks very different than Grade 6 MSM II.
2012-2013 Essentials
• Units organized by domain
• Structure of Common Core
• Purple bold notes regarding content for 2012-2013
Activity 1: Photo Sizes Task
Photographs come in several standard print sizes. Some of the most common print sizes are 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10. (Note: The dimensions are given in inches.) Does a proportional relationship exist between these print sizes? Justify your answer.
Activity 1: Photo Sizes Task
Follow-Up/Extension Questions:
3.5x5 used to be a popular photo size. How does it relate to the other standard sizes?
Some consider wallet size photographs 2x3, while others say they are 2.5x3.5. Based on your findings, what are the dimensions of a standard size wallet photo?
Explain what will happen if you take a 4x6 photo and enlarge it to an 8x10.
Activity 1 DebriefShare your design with other groups.
What mathematical concepts & skills were necessary to complete the task?
Look at the Ratios & Proportional Relationships unit—when might a task like this be introduced?
Examining the Grade 7 Crosswalk
What is a crosswalk document?
How should it be used?
What does the crosswalk mean for Grade 7?
Short Break
Mini-Lesson: Distributive Property & Common
Factors
How do you factor 2x – 6?
What are strategies to help students understand factoring?
Mini-Lesson: Distributive Property & Common
Factors Using Algebra Tiles to
teach the distributive property and factoring
Mini-Lesson: Distributive Property & Common
Factors Your Turn!
Use the Algebra Tiles to create your own problem involving the distributive property. Then show how you would use the tiles to factor the expression.
Activity 2: Shop Smart You are the manager of a store and business is a
little slow. The best way to attract more customers is to have a sale. Here are the sales you are considering:
Buy one, get one of equal value half offBuy three of equal value for the price of twoApply a 40% discount on the item
As a business owner, which sale should you run? Justify your answer.
Activity 2: Shop Smart Extension Questions:
As a customer, which sale would you prefer? Justify your answer.
Does the original price of the item impact your decision? Why or why not?
Activity 2 DebriefShare your solutions with other groups.
What mathematical concepts & skills were necessary to complete the task?
Look at the Expressions and Equations unit—when might a task like this be introduced?
