Resources
Our district supported resources can be found in the math groups by grade level. These groups house all district created materials, and resources that teachers have created through our curriculum alignment project. In addition to our CAP groups we have a textbook and online resources. Online resources are accessed through www.clever.com.
Khan Academy offers high quality K-12 virtual support for the mathematics classroom. Students can build a personnalized learning plan by creating a math mission. By answering a few problems, Khan Academy will generate a learning plan. Students and teachers can follow this learning plan or choose different different material based on other needs. Students and teachers will be able to review student progress within the Khan Academy system. Students also have the option of adding parent accounts. Parent accounts will allow parents to track student progress just like teachers, but specific to their children.
Khan Academy offers a variety of math resources. Khan offers an SAT prep course that tailors an individual learning path for students based on their PSAT score.
Walton County School District (WCSD) student and teacher information has already been uploaded to Khan Academy and is currently availble to all WCSD teachers. Students and teachers can access Khan Academy by logging into Clever; a link has been provided below. Students will use their student ID as both the username and password. Teachers will use their e-mail address as the username and Focus password as the password. If teachers are unable to access Clever, be sure to use the "forgot password" option.
After accessing Khan Academy through Clever for the first time, setting up a student account is easy. A quick video and word document have been provided below to assist with this process.
Renaissance Learning provides us access to our STAR Enterprise math assessment, but progress monitoring is not the only function served by Ren. Place resources. Core Progression resources are also available to teachers. The Core Progression resources allow teachers to review standard specifics, eplore verticle alignment and review resources designed to support curriulum and instruction. The link below leads to a quick 2 minute video that will show teachers how to access and use Core Progression resources.
BIG IDEAS MATH: Textbook and Online
This online resource may be found through ClassLink and is our board approved curriculum for most math classes.
Mathematics Formative Assessment System tasks (MFAS)
The Mathematics Formative Assessment System (MFAS) was developed in collaboration with Florida State University. Formative assessment tasks are available for Kindergarten through Geometry in high school. MFAS tasks were designed to assist teachers in determining students' specific learning needs and differentiating to promote continual growth. MFAS tasks will assist teachers in meeting the needs of both high performing and low performing students. These can be under the resources tab on the CPALMS website. The system includes tasks or problems that teachers can implement with their students, and rubrics that help the teacher interpret students' responses. Teachers using MFAS ask students to perform mathematical tasks, explain their reasoning, and justify their solutions. Rubrics for interpreting and evaluating student responses are included so that teachers can differentiate instruction based on students' strategies instead of relying solely on correct or incorrect answers. The objective is to understand student thinking so that teaching can be adapted to improve student achievement of mathematical goals related to the standards.
MFAS task can be found under the files section of the Secondary Math Group in the folder labeled MFAS. Here they are sorted by standard, and I have included the PowerPoint for the MFAS training for those unfamiliar.
Clearly define what it means for a student to be proficient at a standard. These are broken down by standard and clearly define what students performing at a specific achievement level can do.
Parents and students can access resources to support math learning at home by visiting the Math-At-Home Plan.
