Math Tier II Indicator

Indicator 1.13: All 7th through 9th graders will demonstrate proficiency on the district math, science, and social studies tests.

Math Tier II Indicator: Increase the number of students who score at proficient or higher in mathematics.

– S.M.A.R.T. Goal 3: The percentage of Davis 7th, 8th and 9th grade students scoring proficient (80% or higher) in mathematics will increase as measured by the UCS District Common Math Semester assessments.

Increase the percentage of Davis students achieving math proficiency

MEAP: Davis revised the annual ‘percentage of students proficient’ targets for 7th & 8th grade math MEAP proficiency to reach the 2014 100% district proficiency goal.

85% for Fall of 2010

91% for Fall of 2011

96% for Fall of 2012

100% for Fall of 2013

Increase the percentage of Davis students achieving math proficiency

DISTRICT COMMON ASSESSMENTS:

Davis will establish baseline data and Smart Goals for each mathematics course that include all enrolled students as common assessments are developed and administered.

Math 7, Math 7 AT, Math 8, Math 8 AT, Advanced Math 7, Algebra 1, Geometry, and Accelerated Geometry.

A raw score of 80% will be the minimum standard for proficiency in all mathematics courses.

Mathematics Action Plan

Davis’ Goal: Improve student math proficiency

•School-wide support in the Math, Science, Social Studies, and Allied Arts departments through applied problem-solving, data analysis, and graphical interpretation as it applies to the specific content area.

2010 - 2011 Action Plan7th - 9th grade

Tier II Strategies Persons Responsible Implementations, Resources, Start and End Dates

Progress Monitoring

Spiral Review of Previous Standards:

Provide review of GLCE’s of plane figure and data/statistics standards as ‘Bell Ringers’ on a bi-monthly basis to address deficient areas in previous years’ EXPLORE test data.

Administer quarterly assessments to monitor students understanding of previously addressed GLCE’s in the area of proportions and similarities and data and statistics.

Persons Responsible for Implementation: All math department teachersResources: District pacing guides and curriculum materials, Data Director Test Items, Evans-Newton Test Bank Items, MMLA - Michigan Mathematics Leadership Academy Mathematics Assessments http://mathassessments.mscenters.org/

Dates: September 7, 2010 – June 16, 2011

Students will increase their comprehension and retention of concepts related to proportions and similarities and data and statistics.

2010 - 2011 Action Plan7th - 9th grade Mathematics

Tier II Strategies Persons Responsible Implementations, Resources, Start and End Dates

Progress Monitoring

Increase test taking strategies:

Provide times tests every quarter that will model EXPLORE/ACT math testing formats.

7th grade – 5, 10, 15, and 20 min timed tests

8th grade – 10, 15, 20, and 25 min timed tests

9th grade – Two 30-minute tests with 30 questions before EXPLORE test is administered (included in EXPLORE Fridays during 1st Quarter).

Review and demonstrate multiple choice and test taking strategies through the use of estimation, elimination, and graphic representations by displaying their work on homework and assessments.

Persons Responsible for Implementation: All math department teachers

Resources: District pacing guides and curriculum materials, Data Director Test Items, Evans-Newton Test Bank Items, MMLA - Michigan Mathematics Leadership Academy Mathematics Assessments http://mathassessments.mscenters.org/

Dates: September 7, 2010 – June 16, 2011

Students will improve their performance of various test taking strategies such as estimation, graphic representation, and their ability to eliminate incorrect answer choices on course /district assessments, and EXPLORE/ACT math tests.
