Money as You Learn - Tools for Educators to Integrate Personal Finance into Teaching the Common Core. Common Core Curriculum. In order to assist schools and districts with the implementation of the Common Core, NYSED has provided curricular modules and units in P-12 ELA and math that can be adopted or adapted for local purposes.

Common Core Curriculum

Full years of curricular materials are currently available on EngageNY for grades Prekindergarten through 12th grade in Mathematics and Prekindergarten through 12th grade in English Language Arts (ELA). How can I provide feedback on the curriculum modules? If you have any feedback on the curriculum modules, let us know by completing the Curriculum Feedback Form. We will review all feedback as we continue to make improvements to the materials. Guidance on Integrating Curricular Materials into the Classroom The optional curricular materials on EngageNY are designed to be adopted or adapted. 101questions. Teaching Outside the Norm.

We would love to have links in our PowerPoint presentations and PDF files (both of which we give to the teachers attending our classes) that went directly to a portion of the text or an illustration that we would like to provide as part of our lesson. For example, teachers have a hard time understanding the division of a fraction by a fraction. The 6.NS Traffic Jam illustration provides an excellent means of giving teachers some intuition about the division of fractions. The problem is that I see no way to link to this illustration directly, or any text with the illustrations. Are there any plans to provide links. Robert Springer.

Standards for Mathematical Practice

" Mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution. They analyze givens, constraints, relationships, and goals. They make conjectures about the form and meaning of the solution and plan a solution pathway rather than simply jumping into a solution attempt. They consider analogous problems, and try special cases and simpler forms of the original problem in order to gain insight into its solution. They monitor and evaluate their progress and change course if necessary. Older students might, depending on the context of the problem, transform algebraic expressions or change the viewing window on their graphing calculator to get the information they need. Younger students might rely on using concrete objects or pictures to help conceptualize and solve a problem.

Formative Assessment Lessons (beta) Read more about the purpose of the MAP Classroom Challenges… Mathematical goals This lesson unit is intended to help students to: Add and subtract directed numbers (positive, negative and zero) with understanding.Address common misconceptions about the addition and subtraction of directed numbers.Explain their reasoning using diagrams.

Formative Assessment Lessons (beta)

Introduction This lesson unit is structured in the following way: Before the lesson, students work individually on an assessment task designed to reveal their current understanding. Materials required Each student will need a mini-whiteboard, pen and eraser, some blank paper and copies of the assessment tasks Directed Numbers and Directed Numbers (Revisited). Time needed 15 minutes before the lesson, a 90-minute lesson and 15 minutes in a subsequent lesson, or for homework. A draft Brief Guide for teachers and administrators (PDF) is now available, and is recommended for anybody using the MAP Classroom Challenges for the first time. SERP's Public Products.

Classroom stories are a valuable repository of practical knowledge. At LessonSketch we believe that those representations of practice may also provide context for developing capacity for instruction. The LessonSketch collections, tools, and online community are devoted to the creation, examination, and discussion of stories of instructional practice.
