ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Pinterest Lee Ann- hate when they take a previously free resource on teachers pay teachers and make them $3.99.
ReplyDeleteLove when it is stuff we are already using just a prettier version, helps to know we are in the right neighborhood!
#5: Got this website from Eric's pinterest page: http://www.lexile.com/analyzer/. This website helps you find the "readability" level of content-area textbooks such as science or math. At a recent conference that I attended, it was presented that many textbook companies sell textbooks that are well above the readability level for the grade-placement that the book is intended for. It is quite difficult to deliver content-area instruction through text that is grade-levels above grade-placement!
ReplyDeletePinterest Lee-Ann has a pin that links up with Scholastic's website for a list of books that go along with the common core standards. The list is categorized by grade level and even tells you what books are on AR.
ReplyDeleteThat's a useful list. There are also online library booksellers like Follett www.titlewave.com and Bound to Stay Bound www.btsb.com that have booklists that align with the common core standards (along with AR info).
DeleteOnline lesson planning-
ReplyDeleteinteresting link to explore in the future to site called
Common Curriculum a new online lesson planning resource that aims to help you align your lessons to Common Core standards.
http://www.thinkingblocks.com/index.html Cool representations of word problems, more appropriate for intermediate level than primary level students
ReplyDeleteillustrative mathematics- cool idea, site a bit difficult to navigate and not much there for grade 2 learners
ReplyDeleteaddendum to this comment of mine, go in under illustrations not standard and there is more for grade 2, still not the easiest to navigate:)
Delete#20 Common Core Works-- What a great website! It is easy to use and had a fw things that popped out to me to help understand common core. I really appreciate that it has parent letters to help parents understand what their kids willleanr at each level. They need to be able to see the rigor and scope and sequence as it is a change to them as well. They need to see that it will not just be about isolated skills but application of the principles. I also found an hour long video geared at teachers to help them understand changes that need to be made.
ReplyDelete#15 Parent Road Maps
ReplyDeleteI think this site should be a MUST FOR ALL parents! I have had parents tell me that they don't know how to help their child with this "new" math. This site will now help them understand why their child is learning the way that they are, and how they can help them at home, too! This site is easy to explore and quickly gets you to the grade level you are looking for!
Illustrative Mathematics has a lot of problems to use within the classroom. Click on the illustrations link on the left side of the page and it takes you to pages of problems and solutions that can be used in the classroom. I think these problems could really ignite the classroom discussion we are working towards with Communities of Practice Rounds.
ReplyDelete4. Mastery Connect-Common Formative Assessments
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I can't wait to PLC with 2nd grade across the district and plan! This is a great resource! Thank you.
#4 Mastery Connect
ReplyDeleteThis looks fabulous! Looking forward to watching Video #3 with the 2nd grade team, and sharing our work from Mastery Connect with each other. What a wonderful idea! I hope our team can utilize this site, sharing our work load.
15. Parent Road Maps
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful resource for parents. I think that I will add this link to my classroom webpage which will allow the parents to help their children at home. Often times parents do not know how to help since the "new math" is a different approach. Good stuff!
#14-- Thinking Blocks! Holy cow this is cool! I just did an example on ratios as my accelerated 6th graders are working on it now in the 7th grade curriculum but worry about this concept being moved to 6th grade common core, as it is complex! I just spent lots of time trying to work though it myself so I know it would be challenging to kids! I love it!!
ReplyDelete#15--This road map is great for parents! K parents would perhaps find it helpful if they were registering new kiddos to the district!!

ReplyDeleteParent Road Maps
http://www.asdk12.org/media/anchorage/globalmedia/documents/commoncore/roadmaps/ParentRoadmap_Math_2.pdf
This is a great website. How can we link this to the Heritage website? This gives great ideas/ways for parents to help their children.
#5- pinterest! My favorite as visuals are included, too and so easy to search. The only problem is that it's hard to stop!
ReplyDelete#15 - Parent Road Maps - Love this parental resource! This contains great games / activities for parents to help thier children with at home, plus clearly explains the new strategies that we are using to teach math.
ReplyDelete#17 pta.org - nice resource for parents to get involved with the schools their children attend and to start to build better relationships with the teachers
ReplyDelete#15 Love this website as a parent and teacher in the district. I can find creative ideas to help my students and two boys home. This also gives me the opportunity to see the expectations of the current grade level, as well as the previous and future grade levels they will soon be a part of. It provides a bridge of curriculum contents to parents for their children.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely Morty! Creativity is one of our strengths....we need to be able to use it more:)
Delete#15 parent road maps- good idea
ReplyDeletekb
#5 & 6 How incredible it is now that we have this resource to find and share amazing ideas that benefit our students.
ReplyDeleteThinking blocks is amazing!! The virtual manipulatives that force the kids to approach the technique in a "outside the box" method allows for discovery learning. Cool!
ReplyDelete#5 Good overview (umbrella) and links to Common Core State Standards Initiative. educational providers, national institutions behind the Common Core, flexible learning paths, multi-media tools. I would definitely come back to this site. LC
ReplyDelete#6 I loved this site. So many comprehension lesson ideas directly linked to the CCSS. Lessons such as textmapping, thinking notes, close reading,summarizing, questioning and loads more. LC
ReplyDelete#5
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Pinterest! I always look there to find activities and resources I can use in the classroom. It is great to see that Common Core lessons and activities are on there.
#4
ReplyDeleteI think this will be a great resource.
#19 - These short videos are really helpful in gaining an understanding of CC standards in the grades above and below the one(s) you teach. Informative in the development of the standards themselves.
ReplyDeleteThe librarians had a difficult time finding standards and tools aligned with our curriculum. A couple of good ones include American Association of School Librarian's: Common Core Crosswalk: http://www.ala.org/aasl/guidelinesandstandards/commoncorecrosswalk
ReplyDeleteand Cindy found an article about Library of Congress Primary Sources in the context of Common Core Standards:http://blogs.loc.gov/teachers/2012/10/common-core-state-standards-and-library-of-congress-teacher-resources-find-lesson-plans-and-more-that-meet-your-ccss-needs/
#4 Mastery Connect is an excellent tool to use across grade level. I was surprised by how much I was able to find and use from the website.
ReplyDelete#19 - Common Core Resources is great! One of the many resources there is the Teaching Channel. The Teacher Channel offers great lessons that can be modeled not only for common pacing but other ways to teach a skill from our mode.
ReplyDeleteWebsite #14 Thinking Blocks
ReplyDeleteGreat site for parents to practice and reinforce what is learned in school. Would also be a great to have in the computer lab and have the children work at their own pace!
#14 - THinking Blocks - Love this website! Kids can actually manipulate the numbers and labels on a number line in order to solve word problems. Word problems are separated by grade level. This would be a great activity to do in the computer lab with students so they could see the word problems visually. The visual is similar to how we use math mountains to show equations.
ReplyDelete#22
ReplyDeleteI like that sample questions for the different grade levels.
#13 - Really like the immediate feedback kids get on the practice items on LearnZillion. We have been grading our weekly tests together on Fridays in my class and I've been having the kids mark the correct answers to items they missed on their bubble sheet, then go back and reread the questions/answers they missed on the test. It's been SUPER helpful for some of my students to be able to ask me immediately what they did wrong or WHY their responses were incorrect. This website offers the same instant feedback. Like it ;)
