MISSION
"Where all students are challenged to learn and inspired to dream"


PHILOSOPHY
The St. Bernard-Elmwood Place City Schools mathematics programs ensure that students have an opportunity to become mathematically literate, are capable of extending their learning, have an equal opportunity to learn, and become informed citizens capable of understanding issues in a technological society. Knowledge of mathematics is an essential element in the development of the whole person.Mathematics is more than a collection of concepts and skills to be memorized and mastered. Mathematics includes problem solving, reasoning, communicating, and valuing the breadth of its connections. The mathematics curriculum includes the investigation of the connections, the interplay among various mathematical topics, and the applications at every grade level.

Students can become mathematically powerful by learning to formulate and solve problems with a variety of strategies, to verify and interpret results, and to generalize solutions. An understanding of mathematical concepts can enable them to identify and generate examples and non-examples in addition to recognizing the various meanings and interpretations of concepts. Students can learn to use models, diagrams, and symbols to represent concepts and to translate from one mode of representation to another. Students can recognize when a mathematical procedure is appropriate and reliably and efficiently execute procedures, including appropriate methods of computation. Students can verify the results of procedures, generate new procedures and extend or modify familiar ones.

Students will be provided access to the full range of mathematical topics. Knowledge of patterns, relations, and functions; of geometry and measurement; of probability and statistics; and of increasingly important topics that collectively form a necessary foundation for all students. Since students’ interests, goals, and achievements change as they mature and advance through high school, the mathematics program is designed to allow options. Recognizing that St. Bernard-Elmwood Place students will have different career objectives and may pursue careers as yet undefined, we further recognize that students have the right to learn significant mathematics and to develop power over mathematical ideas.

Ohio Department of Education Academic Content Standards K-12 Mathematics

The Ohio State Board of Education unanimously adopted the mathematics academic content standards in December 2001. This document is available in print and CD formats in the media centers in each of the three St. Bernard-Elmwood Place school buildings. It is also available online at the ODE web site www.ode.state.oh.us.ca/ci/ and the St. Bernard-Elmwood Place City Schools web site.These ODE Mathematics Content Standards are included in their entirety in the St. Bernard-Elmwood Place City Schools mathematics curriculum adoption. Print copies and CD-ROM versions have been distributed to teachers and administrators. Mathematics Toolkits created by the HCESC to support the implementation of the ODE Mathematics Content Standards by grade levels have also been provided for the mathematics and special education faculty members.

Standards, Benchmarks, and Grade-level Indicators

The six standards that follow represent the mathematics content and processes students should know and be able to use as they progress through school. The rigorous, yet realistic standards provide a comprehensive foundation for all students to think and reason mathematically and use mathematics knowledge and skills effectively in post-secondary education, the workplace, and daily life.
Content Standards: Number, Number Sense and Operations
Measurement
Geometry and Spatial Sense
Patterns, Functions and Algebra
Data Analysis and Probability
Process Standard: Mathematical Processes
The following terms and definitions are used in the document:
Standard: An overarching goal or theme in mathematics. The standard statement describes, in broad terms, what students should know and be able to do as a result of the K-12 program.
Benchmark: A specific statement of what a student should know and be able to do at a specific time in his/her schooling. Benchmarks are used to measure a student’s progress towards meeting the standard. Benchmarks are defined for grades 2,4,7,10, and 12.
Grade-level A specific statement of the knowledge and/or skills that a student demonstrates at each grade level.
Indicator: These indicators serve as checkpoints that monitor progress toward the benchmarks.

K-12 Mathematics Academic Content Standards

Number, Number Sense and Operations Standard

Students demonstrate number sense, including an understanding of number systems and operations and how they relate to one another. Students compute fluently and make reasonable estimates using paper and pencil, technology-supported and mental methods.

Measurement Standard

Students estimate and measure to a required degree of accuracy and precision by selecting and using appropriate units, tools and technologies.

Geometry and Spatial Sense Standard

Students identify, classify, compare and analyze characteristics, properties and relationships of one-, two- and three-dimensional geometric figures and objects. Students use spatial reasoning, properties of geometric objects, and transformations to analyze mathematical situations and solve problems.

Patterns, Functions and Algebra Standard

Students use patterns, relations and functions to model, represent and analyze problem situations that involve variable quantities. Students analyze, model and solve problems using various representations such as tables, graphs and equations.

Data Analysis and Probability Standard

Students pose questions and collect, organize, represent, interpret and analyze data to answer those questions. Students develop and evaluate inferences, predictions and arguments that are based on data.

Mathematical Processes Standard

Students use mathematical processes and knowledge to solve problems. Students apply problem-solving and decision-making techniques, and communicate mathematical ideas.
Note: Mathematical processes are used in all content areas and should be incorporated within instruction and assessment of the content-specific standards, benchmarks and grade-level indicators.

ASSESSMENT

Assessment represents a student’s demonstration of understanding. It provides evidence of what students know and are able to do. A comprehensive and thoughtful assessment system also provides needed information for instructional planning and decision-making. Four basic types of assessment, described below have been incorporated into the K-12 mathematics program
achievement tests;
(a) diagnostic assessments;
(b) classroom assessments;
(c) national and international assessments.
Achievement Tests
Achievement tests provide the broadest picture of student performance. Ohio’s achievement assessments, including the Ohio Graduation Test (OGT), are administered at specified grades and are based on the academic content standard benchmarks.
Diagnostic Assessments
Diagnostic assessments are administered annually and are designed to give teachers and parents detailed information as to the strengths and weaknesses of individual students. They provide teachers with important performance data for instructional planning.

Classroom Assessments
Teachers constantly assess student performance on an ongoing basis, using both informal and formal measures. Samples of classroom assessment employed by teachers include:
® Projects and investigations
® Portfolios
® Tests, quizzes and short-answer questions
® Extended response and essay questions
® Group tests
® On-demand assessment
® Self-assessment, student reflection
® Teacher observations
A variety of assessments provides a rich picture of student performance, enabling teachers to evaluate students’ performance and progress.National and International Assessments
Through participation in national and international assessment opportunities, student performance can be compared to other states and other nations. The ACT, SAT, NAEP, TIMSS and AP are examples of this assessment category.
Top


TECHNOLOGY

Technology, such as calculators and computers, helps students learn mathematics and support effective mathematics teaching. Rather
than replacing the learning of basic concepts and skills, technology can connect skills and procedures to deeper mathematical
understanding. For example, geometry software allows experimentation with families of geometric objects, and graphing utilities
facilitate learning about the characteristics of classes of functions.

INTERVENTION

Intervention services may be implemented to remediate, reinforce or support student learning relative to the standard benchmarks and grade level indicators. Intervention must always be aligned with the standards and assessments. Intervention is a shared responsibility among all individuals who care about student achievement—students, teachers, parents, and building and district administrators. Intervention may by activated at three levels: the classroom, within the building, and throughout the district. The following chart includes suggested resources, records, and activities that may support intervention initiatives.
