Our Fall Festival is back this year on Monday October 31st! Our parade will begin at 10:30 AM. We will walk along Polk Street from Jackson to Broadway, before making our way back to campus for a festival full of games, food, and fun! There may even be a surprise! We hope to see you there!
Videos to support implementation of CCSS-M. Videos that help explain complex math concepts, videos that illustrate the SFUSD Signature Strategies, and videos that introduce some of our preferred technology tools.
Visual Model Progressions
The CCSS-M calls for students to use concrete and visual models to solve problems and make sense of number and operations. In the SFUSD Math Core Curriculum, these models are taught as tools and strategies to support students' development of conceptual understanding of operations and connections to algorithms.
Visual Model Progressions. The SFUSD C&I Math Department has compiled a progression of the concrete and visual models for addition and subtraction in grades K–2 and another for multiplication and division in grades 3–5.
SFUSD C&I Math: There are 3 types of estimation that are asked of students:
Measurement estimation: finding an approximate measure without making an exact measurement.
Quantity estimation: finding an approximate number of items in a collection.
Computational estimation: finding a number that is an approximation of a computation that we cannot or do not wish to determine exactly.
Math Teaching Strategies; The Multiple Abilities Strategy is a strategy that teachers use to launch a lesson or task that involves collaborative groupwork. It is a way to communicate to students the variety of strengths and abilities, including skills, understandings, and mathematics practices, that are required to be successful in a given task.
