HAPPY Last Week of School

Problem Solving Book Study VIDEOCONFERENCE with Dr. Nicki Newton

Chatting MATH with Dr. Nicki Newton was a SUCCESS!  

You are going to LOVE learning from her 

in person on June 29th.

Getting READY for Dr. Nicki - Be Familiar with the Math Progressions

Math Progressions

After videoconferencing with Dr. Nicki (by the way, everyone LOVED her!), something we discussed in our problem solving book study this week was the Math Progressions.  You will want to be familiar with the Math Progressions before Dr. Nicki visits because she refers to them a lot.  

The Common Core State Standards in mathematics were built on Progressions: narrative documents describing the Progression of a topic across a number of grade levels, informed both by research on children’s cognitive development and by the logical structure of mathematics.  Progressions describe how a particular domain plays out across grade levels, describing the structure of the mathematics and preserving the idea of building across grade levels.  The Progressions allow teachers an opportunity to clearly see how the standards they teach in their classroom are related to those taught in other grade levels.  The Progressions help us to know exactly what is expected to be taught at our grade level.
