I’ve begun looking at the CCSS HS Statistics and Probability standards in preparation for my Math Credit Factory IM Data course I’ll teach again this fall. What prompted this early start? @rawrdimus wrote about using Interactive Notebooks and SBG <link> That is the best thing about #MTBos:We can find motivation from each other.
My local math department spent inservice time this last year learning how to write #SBU . To do this we spent some time looking at the CCSS HS Math content standards. As an allegory, I was cutting up some storm damage this week:
One big unusable piece
All Split up into usable pieces
I made the connection that to get started using the CCSS, you first have to get into it and split that document apart into usable pieces.
The next question that arose for me is: What do some of the standards mean? I tweeted our State Math person and she helped, but I figured that there had to be a forum or a more permanent way to ask those kind of questions.
I did some bookmark searching and came up with http://www.illustrativemathematics.org/. No forums there but they do have some “approved” sample tasks that elicits math to help assess the specific standard. It isn’t all fleshed out yet so I emailed them and someone emailed back and sent me to http://commoncoretools.me/ where Bill McCallum is encouraging posts in his forums <link> You have to register to post a question.
Just thought someone might like to know this is available.
