  • Priority Standards

    Posted by Delia Pogorzelski on 7/7/2021

    In the wake of COVID-19, Go Math representatives collaborated with the International Center for Leadership in Education and identified the highest priority standards as focal points by grade level.  These frameworks will assist educators in prioritizing standards most critical to students' success in achieving grade level proficiencies and above, as well as identify specific content from prior grades to be used for scaffolding and reteaching.  These documents may assist teachers in the planning stage of instructional design.  The standards can be accessed by clicking on the link: Essential Content Frameworks.

  • Q & A Sessions

    Posted by Delia Pogorzelski on 10/23/2020

    On November 2, there will be two one-hour Q & A Sessions held for math teachers.  During each hour, teachers will give brief presentations on a particular topic.  For example, one teacher will be discussing the One Note Application, how she uses it daily and how it helps her students.  She will identify hurdles she encountered using the application and will offer expanations of how the challenges were circumvented.  

    Topics will vary at each session and include Quizzes in Canvas, Student Engagement in the Digital Environment, Using Remind, Utilizing Zoom Break-Out Rooms, Team Planning, Math Nation, Desmos, and PDF Candy.  Please understand these are NOT training sessions; they are brief snapshots from teachers in the field just like you! The schedule, the Zoom links, and the videotapes will be posted in the folder entiled Q & A Sessions on the Secondary Math SharePoint.
