4th Grade: 4.NBT
1. Begin by reading pages 13-17 of the Math Progression Document and look for new understanding and/or important aspects of the 4th Grade NBT standards
2. Watch the following video on standard 4NBT from EngageNY Studio Talks located here: Click Here
3. Post One Comment about something new you learned about multiplication and division that other grade levels need to know or an instructional strategy/model that you would use to help in the 4th grade instruction of the 4NBT standards.
Think about some of the following questions:
-what model would you use and why?
-why teach partial products?
-why does base-ten foundations play such an important role in multiplying and dividing?
- why has common core shifted more towards conceptual understanding instead of the "old way" of teaching an algorithms?
4. The 4th grade Progression is very Model involved. Please also comment on each other posts addressing your questions, comments and concerns about these Models and their application in the classroom. (Take a second look at Page 17 and discuss the different methods if applicable)

Second Grade
Grade 2: 2.NBT
Based on my experience thus far, 2nd grade seems to be the level where teachers begin to struggle with the different models and conceptual understanding that needs to be taught. Pay close attention to this section, as it is crucial in laying the foundation for Operations. Also, if you have have experience with teaching these Common Core Standards and Models, please share any additional classroom experience you may have!
1. Begin by reading pages 8-11 of the Math Progression Document and look for new understanding and/or important aspects of base-ten understanding and numbers within 1000. Please try and comment about a concept or new understanding from this document.
2. Watch the following video on standard 2.NBT from EngageNY Studio Talks located here: Click Here
3. Post One Comment about something new you learned, an important aspect of 2nd grade that other grade levels need to know or an instructional strategy/model that you would use to help solidify addition and subtraction. Try and relate your new learning of 2nd grade to what you learned previously in grades K and 1.
4. Post one comment responding to another participant in order to add to their thinking, suggest additional ideas or engage in a meaningful educational conversation about second grade. Offer a suggestion to help with fluency or a resource you may have used.

Let's Begin!
Workshop Objectives:
- Gain an understanding of the Numbers and Operations in Base Ten Progression across Grades K-5, informed by the Progressions for Common Core State Standards in Mathematics.
- Collaborate within and across grades levels to make connections and enhance instruction through the use of Common Core Math Standards coherence.
Things to Consider Throughout the Workshop:
- What type of FOCUS do I need in my grade level to help a student be successful with Numbers and Operations?
- How do we work together within AND across grade levels to ensure COHERENCE?
- How do we maintain proper RIGOR in our instruction including: Conceptual Understanding, Fluency, and Application to help students master the understanding of Numbers?
To Begin:
1. We will be working on dissecting the Numbers and Operations in Base Ten, K-5 Progression Document in order to better understand the coherence of fractions across the grade levels. Please download this document and use it as a working document making your notes, clarifications and new leanings directly on it. (Click below)
