Engage NY Hillsboro Elementary October 2014
TIMES A WASTIN’ HES Leadership Team met August 28 th Discussion on Engage NY Math and who was implementing. Decision was made to have all teachers K-6 to implement Engage NY Math Discussion on Engage NY ELA and who was implementing. Decided to not require K-3 at this time.
Faculty Meeting Teachers met on Tuesday, September 2 nd We spoke to the K-3 on Engage NY Math I requested to my staff K-2 that I would give them two weeks to review and implement their first math lesson. Questions on materials and assistance I ask them to look to each other for resources as well as help. I wanted feedback after the lessons were taught.
With Big Eyes and a look of Puzzlement They were willing to review They ask questions They searched, reviewed and talked Within two weeks they had implemented their first lesson. Then the real discussion began……….
They were animated, excited and talking about what the kids were doing. The kids were figuring it out.
As For Me I didn’t have to call a meeting. I watched and listened to the conversation among my staff. The lessons are there and free. The work is in the preparation to get it together to teach. And it is work. It has rigor, which is needed. The teachers have buy in. Envision is used as supplemental.
Engage NY ELA Grades 5 and 6 implementing 3 rd and 4 th grade are looking to add. It is rigorous. Primary is using Pearson Reading Street text. (12 yrs. old) Rigor is lacking in the materials

Engage Math Grade 5-Module 4: Lesson 7 Target: I can multiply any whole number by a fraction using tape diagrams. Mr. Peterson bought a case (24 boxes) of fruit juice. One- third of the drinks were grape and two-thirds were cranberry. How many boxes of each flavor did Mr. Peterson buy? Show your work using a tape diagram or an array? Jenny’s mom says she has an hour before it’s bedtime. Jenny spends 3/5 of the hour texting a friend and 3/8 of the remaining time brushing her teeth and putting on her pajamas. She spends the rest of the time reading her book. How long did Jenny read? Model your work.
