What Do These Students Understand? – Part 1
1. Read and analyze the “Who Knows Math” handout on page 9 in the Participant Guide. Record your observations on what these students know and what they can do on page 10 in the Participant Guide.
2. Would you be comfortable with his/her understanding if s/he continued to approach division in his/her particular way? Explain your reasoning.

Section 2
The major topics at each grade level focus on:
Rigor
CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING
• More than getting answers
• Not just procedures
• Accessing concepts to solve problems
PROCEDURAL SKILL AND FLUENCY
• Speed and accuracy
• Used in solving more complex problems
• Built on conceptual understanding
APPLICATION OF MATHEMATICS
• Using math in real-world scenarios
• Choosing concepts without prompting

Conceptual Understanding

“Conceptual understanding refers to an integrated and functional grasp of mathematical ideas.”
(Adding it Up: Helping Children Learn Mathematics. 2001)

Example CCSS.Math.Content.1.NBT.C.4Add within 100, including adding a two-digit number and a one-digit number, and adding a two-digit number and a multiple of 10, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used. Understand that in adding two-digit numbers, one adds tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose a ten.
Question: What is 20 + 70?
Section 2
Question: What is 20 + 70?
Student Response: 20 is 2 tens and 70 is 7 tens. So, 2 tens and 7 tens is 9 tens. 9 tens is the same as 90.

Example
Standard 2.OA.3: Determine whether a group of objects (up to 20) has an odd or even number of members, e.g., by pairing objects or counting them by 2s write an equation to express an even number as a sum of two equal addends.
Question: Is 7 an even or odd number? Explain how you know.
Student Response: 7 is odd because I cannot make pairs with all of the cubes like I can with 8 cubes. When I can make pairs with all of the cubes it is an even number.
Section 2
Procedural Skill and Fluency
10
“Procedural skill and fluency is demonstrated when students can perform calculations with speed and accuracy.”
(Achieve the Core)“Fluency promotes automaticity, a critical capacity that allows students to reserve their cognitive resources for higher-level thinking.”
(Engage NY)
Section 2
Check all the equations that are true� 8 x 9 = 81� 54 ÷ 9 = 24 ÷ 6� 7 x 5 = 25� 8 x 3 = 4 x 6� 49 ÷ 7 = 56 ÷ 8
Procedural Skill and Fluency

Mariana is learning about fractions. Show how she can divide this hexagon into 6 equal pieces. Write a fraction that shows how much of the hexagon each piece represents.
Adding / subtracting with tens[Ask orally](a) Add 10 to 17(b) Add 10 to 367(c) Take 10 away from 75(d) Take 10 away from 654
Section 2
Procedural Skill and Fluency
12
Example Standard 1.OA.6: Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10, use strategies such as counting on; making ten; decomposing a number leading to a ten; using the relationship between addition and subtraction; and creating equivalent but easier or known sums.
Question: What is 5 + 6?
Student Response: I know that 5 + 5 = 10; since 6 is 1 more than 5, then 5 + 6 must be 1 more than 10. 1 more than 10 is 11.
Section 2
The Standards call for students to use math flexibly for applications.
Teachers provide opportunities for students to apply math in authentic contexts. Teachers in content areas outside of math, particularly science, ensure that students are using math to make meaning of and access content.

What Do These Students Understand? – Part 2
Return to the “Who Knows Math” handout on pages 9-11 in the Participant Guide. Which students have shown conceptual understanding, which have shown procedural skill and fluency, which have shown both, and which pieces of work would you need to know more to make the determination? Pages 9-11

How does the approach of the CCS-Math content differ from previous approaches to mathematics teaching and learning?
How might you help teachers to understand these differences?
