GAPSSSS NGSSS Common Core
GAPS: Examples
What GAPS did YOU notice this last year?
GAPS: Examples
Current 4th graders didn’t memorize their multiplication table through 10x10 in 3rd grade
Current 5th graders didn’t learn the use of the Distributive Property in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th grade
1st Grade: 27 + 15 = 20 + 10 + 7 + 5 =
30 + 12
2nd Grade: 141 + 99 = 141 + 100 - 1
3rd Grade: 8 x 6 = (8 x 5) + (8 x 1)
4th Grade: 8 x 26 = (8 x 20) + (8 x 6)
5th Grade: 208 ÷ 8 = (160 ÷ 8) + (48 ÷ 8)
Next Generation Sunshine State
Standards
GAPS: Examples
What GAPS might there be when we transition to the Common Core?
Depth of Knowledgea Mile Wide and an Inch Deep
PROBLEMS?
• How do I find time to fill in the
transition gaps?
• How do I teach the deeper,
more difficult material?
• How do I get through the book
at all? (It doesn’t feel like
less!)
Project CHILD, 2/3 Rule, Spiraled Stations
PROJECT CHILD
SOLUTIONS
Solution #1: Project CHILD
• Cross-Grade Level Teaching
• Teachers as Subject Experts• Reading
• Writing
• Math
• Differentiated Learning Stations
Solution #2: The 2/3 Rule
The 2/3 Rule: Whole Group v. Small Group
1) Spend less than ½ the class time
teaching whole group.
2) The remaining part of the class
time should be spent at stations,
including a small group at Teacher
Station.
3) Teach the remaining 1/3 of the
class at the the Teacher Station .
RTI Philosophy
Tier 1: Whole-Group Instruction
Tier 2: Whole-Group Instruction with supplemental
help from teacher or classmates
Tier 3: Small-Group & Individual Instruction

Solution #3: Spiral the Curriculum
Spiral the Curriculum: Review, Preteach, Review
Bellwork & Stations
1) Review previous year curriculum
during the fall to assess level of
mastery.
Bellwork & Stations
2) Preteach curriculum by using your
higher-achieving students and
allowing your students to discover.
3) Review curriculum throughout the
year, focusing on each BIG Idea.
