A PPT explaining how teachers can use a 10 Frame to teach addition/subtraction concepts. Uploaded mostly to test slideshare.

1. Cluster Cycle 2, Week 6
Jan 18, 2012

2. Identify Need

3.  By May 2012, at least 88% of all student groups in
grades 3-5 at Pleasant Run Elementary will score
65%* or higher on the STAAR Math test. At least
85% of PK-2 students will meet the passing standard
on end of the year math assessment. All students
will make at least one year’s growth, with students
performing at the highest level maintaining or
increasing their proficiency level.
 *percentage based on TAKS passing standard from
previous years. Will be reevaluated when STAAR
standards are released.

4.  By June 2012, all students will demonstrate an
annual learning gain in breaking apart word
problems and justifying solutions as measured by
district common assessments and benchmark tests
aligned to the STAAR test. Students already in the
upper quarter will maintain their advanced level.
Students in the middle two quarters will increase by
at least 10%. Students in the bottom quarter will
increase by at least 25%.

5.  By the end of the cluster cycle, ALL students will
increase their scores on district-wide teacher-made
pre- to post-tests by at least 20% using strategies to
dissect and explain information.

6.  Compare the students in your Focus Group to the
Criteria Chart.
 How did your students perform last week, adding to
10?
 How do you think the CFA went?

7.  Watch as we model combining addition and
subtraction during If You.
 Review scaffolding for student understanding.

8.  Practice with your Partner:
 Student: make a few mistakes on If You, or on
explaining how you know using Empties or 5 And
 Teacher: be prepared to scaffold learning for your
“student”

9.  Teach If You +/- with your students this week.
 Compare the performance of your Focus Group to the
Criteria Chart and bring back your observations.
 Next week, we will meet on Monday. I will be out of
town Tuesday through Thursday. Our Monday
learning will be adding a Story Problem element to
the 10 Frame. After that, we will be moving into using
the Part-Part-Whole mat.
