GROUP 4 EDTC 6320 Part D Bricks 5 - 6

OUR INSTRUCTIONAL OPPORTUNITY Use a learning management system to tutor and peer tutor math concepts to middle school students.

INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES Geometry and spatial reasoning. The student compares and classifies two- and three-dimensional figures using geometric vocabulary and properties. Geometry and spatial reasoning. The student uses coordinate geometry to describe location on a plane. Geometry and spatial reasoning. The student uses geometry to model and describe the physical world.

TWO YEARS FROM NOW After we implemented the LMS, the students participants of the program showed significant growth on academic testing.

BRICK 5 How we will know that our learners have mastered, or have failed to master the specific objectives of our instructional opportunity? Students will show mastery of the learning objectives per objective by earning a 70% on the practice STAAR exam (summative) at the end of the course. Satisfactory to Advanced Academic Performance http://www.voanews.com/content/indian-tutors-teach-british-kids-online-120222089/167353.html

CRITERION-REFERENCED State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) To find out whether an objective have been achieved. Criterion- referenced assessments are composed of items or performance tasks that directly measure the skills and knowledge we are trying to achieve. Mathematical process skills are not assessed in isolation but are incorporated into questions that assess grade content. These process skills focus on applying mathematics to solve problems, communicating about mathematics, and using logical reasoning.

How we will know that our learners have mastered, or have failed to master the specific objectives of our instructional opportunity? STAAR Grade 7 Mathematics Blueprint (Spring 2011)

Students achieving Level III: Advanced Academic Performance can Perform problems involving operations with fractions, decimals, whole numbers, and percent, proportions, and other relationships, data sets Perform geometry and measurement concepts to solve application problems including area and volume Students achieving Level II: Satisfactory Academic Performance can Perform problems of fractions, decimals, whole numbers, and percent, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers, fractions, and decimals Solve application problems involving percent and proportional relationships Formulate linear equations, coordinate plane, area (polygons and other shapes) and volume (triangular prisms and cylinders) Make inferences based on analysis of given data Choose among mean, median, mode, and range to describe a set of data and justify the choice for a particular situation. Performance Level Descriptors, Grade 7 Mathematics. Texas Education Agency Student Assessment Division (January 2013)

EXAMPLE Use properties to classify three-dimensional figures, including pyramids, cones, prisms, and cylinders

EXAMPLE Locate and name points on a coordinate plane using ordered pairs of integers.

EXAMPLE Use geometric concepts and properties to solve problems in fields such as art and architecture

BRICK 6 What types of materials would you include in your instructional package? The materials employed in our instructional package include: i. Skills Building Curriculum ii. Formative Assessments with frequent feedback. iii. Frequent Spiraling of material to reinforce content. iv. Summative Assessments for each learning objective. v. Real World Connections

BRICK 6 How do these materials help the learner master the objective?

BRICK 6 How are these materials delivered?

BRICK 6 What types of interactivity are involved when the student goes through your instructional package?

BRICK 6 How does your assessment match up with the activities?
