1. Read NCTM's Standards for School Mathematics . In two to three paragraphs, answer the following questions: a. What are the five content standards? b. What are the five process standards? c. What is the purpose for the content and the process standards? There are 2 types of standards in mathematics those are: content (the five strands of content students should learn) and process standards (ways on how to acquiring and applying content knowledge). Within each category there are 5 topics, within content standards the 5 topics are number and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement and data analysis and probability. Within process standards there are : Problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, connections, and representations. The content standards are exactly what they say they are, content standards are the actual math ,or content, that is being taught to our students. Process standards are used to make the math relatable to the students and help them make a real world connection. When students connect the learning to their lives it becomes easier for them to comprehend and master the standard. 2. IRIS is an organization funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs headquartered at Vanderbilt University's Peabody College. The IRIS Web site is also host to a wide variety of online informational tools and resources, including a searchable glossary of disability-related terms, databases compiling the portrayals of people with disabilities in motion pictures and children's literature, resources for faculty and professional development providers, and sample syllabi, to name only a few (IRIS, 2018). Complete the IRIS Module titled High-Quality Mathematics Instruction: What Teachers Should Know. You will complete the Challenge, Initial Thoughts, and Perspectives & Resources (pages 1-10) sections and the Assessment, questions 1-5. Copy and paste your work into the textbox. 1. Name and describe the components of high-quality mathematics instruction. High-quality mathematics instruction involves using a standards based curriculum correctly and using evidence based practices when teaching mathematical concepts and procedures. 2. Describe the purpose of Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. In addition, list at least five factors that explain why these standards are recommended and commonly adopted. Common core state standards for math outlines the skills and concepts that students should know in their grade level. It is essentially a building staircase for students K-12 because each mathematical standard builds off of prior grade standards. 5 reasons why states adopt standards are: they are

evidence based, are aligned with college and work expectations, are clear, comprehensible, and consistent, encourage the use of real-world problems, and embraces rigorous content . 3. Choose one of the scenarios below. Of the evidence-based practices discussed in this Module: a. Select two to address the student’s needs. b. Explain why you chose these two EBPs. Scenario 1: Elementary Ali, a 3rd-grade student in Ms. Hunker’s class, has a learning disability in mathematics. When he attempts to solve word problems, Ali struggles to figure out whether he needs to multiply or divide. Though fluent in multiplication, he experiences some difficulty when doing long division, specifically remembering to implement all the steps. In scenario 1 the student needs support on finding key words that will decode the word problem and figure out if he needs to either multiply or divide in a word problem. 2 nd area of support is long division. Ali keeps forgetting to implement all the steps. One EBP I would recommend for this student is Odyssey Math. This web based program runs off of data driven instruction. Students take an assessment before starting the program is it recognizes the areas of where extra support is needed. As a teacher we can modify it to target Ali specific needs, academic vocabulary and long division. A second EBP I would recommend is self- regulated strategy development. This EBP is appropriate for students with learning disabilities, it is essentially teaching the students the steps in solving the strategy. The teacher will model and help the students memorize the steps and get the student comfortable enough in the objective that they become self-monitoring. 4. View the video clip below. Identify as least one EBP or effective classroom practice discussed in the Module. Describe how the practice(s) benefits the students and helps them to solve the problem (time: 2:10). An effective classroom practice that is used in the video is encouraging students discussion. Not only are the students discussing amongst their group how to follow the map. Once everyone is finished they have to teach the rest of the class how to do it. 5. The Module discussed three classroom practices (i.e., encouraging student discussion, presenting and comparing multiple solutions, assessing student understanding). a. Select any two and describe their importance for teaching mathematics. b. Discuss how you plan to put these practices into effect in your own classroom.
