CAD Responsibilities
Agenda: Sara   
Notes: Rachel
Time Keeper: Ann

Norms
*Begin & end on time
*Members come prepared with resources and knowledge
*Members are active and respectful listeners and participants
*Members are open minded and professional
*Members are focused on student and staff learning
*There are no excuses

Agenda (Print agenda for each person to have during CAD) 
2:05 - 2:10 Sign-in to Google Drive/Be ready to start CAD

2:10 - 2:25- Review Norms/Reflect

*Let's set a timer for each person, so one person is speaking at a time. Also, we want to keep our reflection to the specified time limit.

2:25 - 2:45 - Review decimal resources to collaboratively decide what is appropriate, if materials need to be tweaked in order to meet standards, etc.

2:45 - 3:45 - Review Decimal Unit/Assign Tasks  

Align with standards, Add Learning Targets, Number Talks, Homework, Practice, etc.

        Lesson 1: Ben's $ Jar (name places); .8= eight tenths discussion 

        Lesson 2: Questions About the $ Jar; Homework- concept that          .8=eight tenths

        Lesson 3: Ben's $ Jar Revisited; Adding tenths and Hundredths

        Lesson 4: Mini-Lesson on Adding and Subtracting tenths and               hundredths

3:45- Collaboratively review materials created/uploaded during CAD 
          Collaborate on effective ways to have students explain, justify their solutions.  

Decimal Standards 

16.) Express a fraction with denominator 10 as an equivalent fraction with denominator 100, and use this technique to add two fractions with respective denominators 10 and 100. (Students who can generate equivalent fractions can develop strategies for adding fractions with unlike denominators in general. But addition and subtraction with unlike denominators in general is not a requirement at this grade.) [4-NF5]

Example: Express ³/₁₀ as ³⁰/₁₀₀, and add ³/₁₀ + ⁴/₁₀₀ = ³⁴/₁₀₀.

17.) Use decimal notation for fractions with denominators 10 or 100. [4-NF6]

Example: Rewrite 0.62 as ⁶²/₁₀₀; describe a length as 0.62 meters; locate 0.62 on a number line diagram

18.) Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model. [4-NF7]

Notes:
Erin: Students took the improper fractions/mixed number quiz on Friday. Deneke's class did well. Dover's class did not. Now she needs to reteach. 
Jana: Trying to focus on major topics this week so she can be ready to teach decimals next week. 
Ann: Starting decimals Monday. Her class seemed to have an epiphany over the weekend and did much better today than they did last week. They did the human number line last week, and uncovered some big ideas. 
Kimberly: Working on the quilt patch portion of fractions unit. Would like to start decimals by mid-week next week. 
Lydia: Has students in different places within the fractions unit due to a lot of absences because of the flu. Has several kids in Felts' class that seem to be all over the place; some days they seem to "get it" and then other days they don't seem to have a clue. 
Rachel: Had to discuss how the half of the jump rope becomes the whole in the required menu problem. Some misunderstanding with where to cut the rope. 

Erin shared information from the textbook committee meeting she and Kimberly attended last week. 

Ann sent out the measurement unit and briefed everyone on what she added. 

We collectively looked at the documents in the decimals folder (from SharePoint) and discussed how they could be used as mini-lessons, homework, and practice.
