1
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,100
Cheri Dotterer: Good morning.
Welcome to tier one

2
00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:11,220
interventions with jonily
Zupancic and Cheri dotterer.

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,780
Jonily : Hey, jonily Zupancic
here, Jay Z in the house today,

4
00:00:16,620 --> 00:00:21,500
and tier one interventions is
really about strengthening our

5
00:00:21,500 --> 00:00:27,200
core in schools. If you think
about your body, our overall

6
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:33,260
health really depends on our
core and our core strength in

7
00:00:33,260 --> 00:00:39,980
schools, our core is our tier
one, general classroom, general

8
00:00:39,980 --> 00:00:43,900
ed teacher with intervention
specialist or other support

9
00:00:43,900 --> 00:00:50,020
personnel in the classroom and
inclusive model serving all kids

10
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,920
at the same time. So tier one
interventions is about the

11
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,640
instructional strategies that
are going to enhance and

12
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,800
maximize the learning for all
students, regardless of ability

13
00:01:01,860 --> 00:01:10,380
or disability, tier one needs to
be strong enough to make certain

14
00:01:10,380 --> 00:01:14,880
that all ability levels of
students get their needs met.

15
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,640
And I know this can seem really
overwhelming for the general

16
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:22,400
classroom teacher, however, tier
one interventions is all about,

17
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:28,100
what are those techniques? Those
techniques have to do with the

18
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:35,180
student body, brain and emotion,
and how do we get all three of

19
00:01:35,180 --> 00:01:38,600
those things ready to learn the
content we get this question all

20
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:45,340
the time. Are your strategies
research based? That's a big

21
00:01:45,340 --> 00:01:49,240
topic. How do I know that this
is going to work? What's it

22
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:54,160
grounded in? And my answer to
that is absolutely yes.

23
00:01:54,580 --> 00:01:58,780
Everything we're teaching for
this core, general classroom is

24
00:01:58,780 --> 00:02:01,260
research based. Now we have to
define what research based

25
00:02:01,260 --> 00:02:04,140
means, and then I've just given
you all of the examples of it.

26
00:02:04,740 --> 00:02:13,380
Research based is the work that
we do. Is it grounded in the

27
00:02:13,380 --> 00:02:16,620
Mighty Hands of giants that have
come before us? And what that

28
00:02:16,620 --> 00:02:24,140
means is the research and the
work that others have done. How

29
00:02:24,140 --> 00:02:29,240
has that then impacted or
affected the parallels and the

30
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:34,340
strategies that we teach
research based is about looking

31
00:02:34,340 --> 00:02:38,480
at these influences. I mentioned
one other book, make it stick.

32
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:47,200
Make It Stick. Make It Stick is
a number of researched

33
00:02:47,260 --> 00:02:52,660
strategies for cognitive
science, and all of the

34
00:02:52,660 --> 00:02:59,320
strategies that Sherry and I are
teaching are supported through

35
00:03:00,220 --> 00:03:07,440
the strategies that at the
university level are taught in

36
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,700
the book make it stick, and in
other places, about how to

37
00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:18,960
trigger and stimulate good, just
right, cognitive demand. 120

38
00:03:19,380 --> 00:03:25,520
chart is mathematical tier one
intervention strategy. Even

39
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:31,160
though it's the second one we're
talking about, I would say that

40
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:37,580
it's the most powerful and most
important. What are we trying to

41
00:03:37,580 --> 00:03:42,520
do in the core classroom for
mathematics? The ultimate goal

42
00:03:42,580 --> 00:03:46,000
is to improve student number
sense. Number Sense is the

43
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,080
innate, intuitive understanding
of number number sense cannot be

44
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,920
taught. It can only, only be
learned and experienced. Our

45
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,520
instructional techniques are
absolutely essential when we're

46
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,720
trying to improve a student's
number sense, because I cannot

47
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,040
explicitly teach this. I can
only engage them in repetitive

48
00:04:05,460 --> 00:04:11,280
good the 120 chart connects to
dozens and dozens of standards

49
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,840
from kindergarten through high
school. And what we're going to

50
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:21,800
share with you today is all of
the standards and targets that

51
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:31,400
the 120 chart can expose for our
students. The 120 chart is a

52
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,240
chart that has 120 numbers on
it. It's as simple as that we're

53
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:40,780
going to walk through each of
the interactions that we take

54
00:04:40,780 --> 00:04:44,680
students through with this chart
I'm going to share with you

55
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,340
interaction one, which is just
introducing the 120 chart to our

56
00:04:48,340 --> 00:04:54,580
students. And when I say
interactions, we know that our

57
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,480
strongest math students, that
may even be identified as

58
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,580
gifted, May. Need one or two
interactions with something

59
00:05:02,580 --> 00:05:05,280
before forever learning happens.
They're going to know it

60
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:09,360
forever. Bright students who are
not gifted, there is a distinct

61
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,480
difference between gifted
students and bright students.

62
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,280
Gifted students love learning,
don't like school. Bright

63
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:22,160
students love school, don't
necessarily like learning.

64
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,360
They're almost polar opposites.
Bright students oftentimes

65
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:32,120
appear to achieve higher because
they work harder. They are

66
00:05:32,180 --> 00:05:37,580
teacher pleasers. They want to
do well. Gifted students don't

67
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:43,600
have a care about any of that.
However, gifted students have

68
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,220
this stronger, innate, intuitive
sense of numbers. How do I know

69
00:05:48,220 --> 00:05:51,700
this? Because for a number of
years I studied my gifted

70
00:05:51,700 --> 00:05:56,080
students, I do not think like
gifted students think in

71
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,520
mathematics. I studied my gift
and gifted students and tried to

72
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,380
extract the way that they
thought about mathematics and

73
00:06:04,380 --> 00:06:10,980
most of the techniques and tasks
that I share with teachers

74
00:06:10,980 --> 00:06:16,320
today, I learned from my gifted
kids, they have a really savvy

75
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,480
sense of number, but bright
students might need five to

76
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,920
seven interactions with the same
thing before they have this

77
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,280
forever learning. Bright
students will give themselves

78
00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:32,060
the their own interactions,
because they tend to work above

79
00:06:32,060 --> 00:06:35,780
and beyond. So they get more
interactions, regardless of

80
00:06:35,780 --> 00:06:39,380
whether those are provided in
the classroom. I'm going to skip

81
00:06:39,380 --> 00:06:42,040
all the way to our struggling
students, maybe students with

82
00:06:42,340 --> 00:06:47,380
learning disabilities or lower
cognitive abilities, or students

83
00:06:47,380 --> 00:06:50,860
that have some kind of brain
disconnect, or students with

84
00:06:50,860 --> 00:06:55,360
ADHD, or any of those students
that struggle in the regular

85
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,480
general classroom, they may need
60 to 100 interactions with the

86
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:05,100
same thing before they truly
learn it. 66, zero, 60 to 100

87
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:11,100
sometimes 200 or 300 and this is
where tier one mathematics, the

88
00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:15,780
general classroom, falls short.
The way that we typically teach

89
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,380
mathematics in the general
classroom is we teach one topic

90
00:07:19,380 --> 00:07:21,980
at a time, and all the
repetition is done in a

91
00:07:21,980 --> 00:07:29,840
condensed two or three week
cycle, whereas in the model that

92
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:35,180
we're presenting to you, we
identify the essential

93
00:07:35,180 --> 00:07:40,180
mathematics that we're going to
do through the 120 chart, and

94
00:07:40,180 --> 00:07:44,320
once we identify the essential
mathematics, those topics are

95
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,400
cycled in every single month. I
call this interaction one

96
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,340
because this is the first
interaction at the beginning of

97
00:07:51,340 --> 00:07:55,420
the school year that kids
experience 120 chart. And then

98
00:07:55,420 --> 00:07:58,900
throughout the school year, 120
chart is brought back up maybe

99
00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:03,240
once a week, once a month, three
times a year, and then every

100
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:08,460
year after that, if your school
and district really create this

101
00:08:08,460 --> 00:08:11,880
progressive, consistent
approach, the way that we get

102
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,660
more interactions over time for
kids is we focus on the same

103
00:08:15,660 --> 00:08:20,600
task. Today's example is 120
chart, very powerful, and we

104
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,080
allow students to interact with
this task multiple times

105
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:29,840
throughout the year and every
year from preschool through high

106
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:35,300
school. So the first thing that
I will do when I introduce 120

107
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,480
chart, and here's a visual of
it, 120 chart, it's 10 numbers

108
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:45,820
in each row. So we have 12 rows,
120 numbers, and I'll ask

109
00:08:45,820 --> 00:08:50,080
students and prompt them with my
favorite three words, tell me

110
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,860
about the 120 chart. This allows
me to do exactly what I was

111
00:08:53,860 --> 00:08:58,240
talking about before, which is,
gain students perspective. Let

112
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,980
them know they belong. Let them
have an opportunity to process

113
00:09:01,980 --> 00:09:08,280
and think and shift their
cognitive demand naturally to

114
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,720
their just right spot. And then
I will ask students to share.

115
00:09:13,020 --> 00:09:15,480
What do you notice about the 120
chart?

116
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:19,920
Cheri Dotterer: Now, Hey,
everybody, sit back and listen

117
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,860
to the hear me teach segment of
the 120 chart?

118
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,160
Jonily : All right, excellent.
We are grade six, and we are

119
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:37,760
going to come back to 120 chart.
There are many math discoveries

120
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,040
that can be made from the 120
chart. We have explored this a

121
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,180
number of times, but we're going
to go deep today. Let's first

122
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:52,360
recall, retrieve. Raise your
hand to tell me what discoveries

123
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:58,000
can be made with the 120 chart,
what mathematical phenomenon can

124
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:04,380
be unpacked. Tell. Me about the
120 chart. Start us off. Emma,

125
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:13,020
oh my gosh, perfect. Yep,
perfect. Lauren, you can find

126
00:10:13,020 --> 00:10:17,460
anything. Do you multiply? The
one that we do most is finding

127
00:10:17,460 --> 00:10:21,200
out if eight, if you want to
multiply the eight. What do we

128
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,820
have? Though, fantastic, yeah,
because I get real cranky about

129
00:10:25,820 --> 00:10:29,840
eight. Real cranky about eight.
And we'll talk about why in just

130
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,960
a moment. What else can you tell
me about our experiences with

131
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,740
120 chart. What else can you
tell me about our experiences

132
00:10:36,740 --> 00:10:41,320
with 120 gonna try, yeah.
Kendall, I

133
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:44,500
Unknown: was gonna say, I was
gonna say that, if it's not a

134
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,820
number, what number could get
to? Oh, love

135
00:10:48,820 --> 00:10:51,520
Jonily : it so much. Fifth
grade, stay quiet, because we're

136
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,300
doing math here. Sixth grade.
Kendall, you said something

137
00:10:55,300 --> 00:10:56,560
really great. Say it again. Is

138
00:10:57,220 --> 00:10:59,920
Unknown: it not a whole number?
What number would be like? What

139
00:11:01,660 --> 00:11:03,720
would not be a whole number? A
whole number that would get

140
00:11:05,220 --> 00:11:10,680
Jonily : so we have to then, and
that's really the gist of 120 is

141
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:15,720
skip counting, and then the goal
is to land on 100 but what

142
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,720
Kendall is saying, she said it
really nicely. What if it

143
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,460
doesn't land on 100 then we have
to talk about parts of skip

144
00:11:22,460 --> 00:11:27,260
counts. Now there's a reason I
get cranky about eight what I'm

145
00:11:27,260 --> 00:11:30,380
going to do is I'm going to give
you this chart get cranky about

146
00:11:30,380 --> 00:11:33,140
and the first thing I want you
to do is turn to the back of

147
00:11:33,140 --> 00:11:37,280
this chart and I'm going to tell
you the something I want you to

148
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:42,400
write on the back of this chart.
Now don't say this out loud, but

149
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:50,440
on the back of this chart, I
want you to write down the

150
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:56,620
decimal number for one. Don't
say this out loud, but on the

151
00:11:56,620 --> 00:12:06,300
back of this chart, I want you
to write down the decimal number

152
00:12:06,660 --> 00:12:13,020
for one. Don't say this out
loud, but on the 1/8 on the back

153
00:12:13,020 --> 00:12:21,200
of your chart, I don't want to
know what your neighbor knows on

154
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,280
the back of your chart, I want
you to write down the decimal

155
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:37,040
number that is equivalent to 1/8
on the back of your chart. You

156
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,360
know, write down the decimal
number not what your neighbor

157
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:50,320
thinks the decimal number that
is equivalent to 1/8 you know,

158
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,340
write down the decimal number,
not what you're now if you wrote

159
00:12:54,340 --> 00:12:58,540
a decimal that has an eight in
it, that is not correct. And

160
00:12:58,540 --> 00:13:01,380
this is why I get cranky with
eight when we're looking at

161
00:13:01,380 --> 00:13:06,300
fractions, and this is why I get
crazy. Every fraction has a

162
00:13:06,300 --> 00:13:13,500
decimal number and a percent
number that is equivalent. And

163
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:21,260
1/8 is not 8% and it's not 80%
and it's not 18% it's nothing

164
00:13:21,260 --> 00:13:25,160
with an eight in it. This is
where the 120 chart comes in. So

165
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,040
go to the front of your chart.
Go to the front of your chart.

166
00:13:29,300 --> 00:13:32,780
The denominator of our fraction
tells us exactly what you were

167
00:13:32,780 --> 00:13:37,460
telling me about. It is our skip
counting number. So circle the

168
00:13:37,460 --> 00:13:41,020
numbers that when you skip count
by eight you land on. You should

169
00:13:41,020 --> 00:13:44,080
be really good at this by now,
because we've done this with

170
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,880
eights a lot. So go ahead and
circle the numbers when you skip

171
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,500
count by eights. And here's
another thing, that if you're

172
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:58,600
doing this at this point, you
are not only glitched, but you

173
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:06,600
really have huge math deficits.
You are not circling 818, 2838

174
00:14:08,580 --> 00:14:13,500
if you did that, you are way
off. So you're skipped counting

175
00:14:13,500 --> 00:14:21,500
by eight. So that would be
eight, and then what 1624, and

176
00:14:21,620 --> 00:14:27,860
32 good. Go ahead and stop. Just
do those on your own. And we're

177
00:14:27,860 --> 00:14:39,320
trying to answer two questions.
Number one, how many counts? By

178
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:46,000
eight to land on 100 and we're
going to have to go with what

179
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,660
Kendall said. We're going to
have to go with what Kendall

180
00:14:49,660 --> 00:14:56,500
said, and that is, we might have
parts of a count. The second

181
00:14:56,500 --> 00:15:08,340
question is, do. How much money
is 1/8 of $1 because that's

182
00:15:08,340 --> 00:15:12,660
going to tell us the exact
decimal equivalent. So to back

183
00:15:12,660 --> 00:15:15,960
up, if you need a refresher, to
back up, if we want to refresh

184
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,100
all this, we're on our 120
chart. We're skip counting by

185
00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:24,320
what number eight? So circle the
numbers when you skip count by

186
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:29,600
eight. So you circle eight and
then 1624, 32 and keep going.

187
00:15:32,060 --> 00:15:36,380
Does eight land on 100 No, so
we're going to have to use

188
00:15:36,380 --> 00:15:41,500
Kendall strategy. We're going to
need part of a number. So what

189
00:15:41,500 --> 00:15:47,380
number does eight land on 96 and
yeah 104 You're right. How many

190
00:15:47,380 --> 00:15:54,580
skip counts by eight lands on
9612 and then 104 is 13. So it's

191
00:15:54,580 --> 00:16:01,440
somewhere between 12 and 13.
Good. 100 is exactly halfway.

192
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:09,180
Yes, if I say how many skip
counts? Does it take? That is 12

193
00:16:09,180 --> 00:16:13,980
and a half. But how much money
is an eighth of $1 how many

194
00:16:13,980 --> 00:16:19,920
cents? 12.5 cents? But where
does the decimal go? If I want

195
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:27,500
to show 12 cents. Caleb, $0 and
how much? How do I show 12 cents

196
00:16:27,980 --> 00:16:32,960
to the decimal go if I want to
show 12 cents, Caleb, point

197
00:16:33,980 --> 00:16:40,280
decimal, 12. How much money is
that? 0.12? How much money? 12

198
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,980
cents, and we could put a half,
or what decimal number means a

199
00:16:44,980 --> 00:16:50,920
half? Tell me five. So the
decimal equivalent for 1/8 is

200
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:59,980
0.125 and that is the exact
number of skip counts that land

201
00:16:59,980 --> 00:17:05,160
on 100 that's the exact number
of skip. Now we've done the 120

202
00:17:05,460 --> 00:17:06,000
chart how

203
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,780
Cheri Dotterer: generally goes
on and teaches for another 15 or

204
00:17:09,780 --> 00:17:13,680
20 minutes or so. If you are
interested in hearing the rest

205
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:18,000
of that conversation, we
recommend that you join tier one

206
00:17:18,180 --> 00:17:23,360
interventions workshop. That is
a workshop that we host live

207
00:17:23,420 --> 00:17:30,080
once a month with the next
episode will be in September. So

208
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:35,480
if you're hearing re listening
to this after September of 2024

209
00:17:36,740 --> 00:17:41,800
you will have to go back and
listen to that episode later.

210
00:17:42,820 --> 00:17:46,060
However, we are recording them.
We are putting them in a portal.

211
00:17:46,060 --> 00:17:51,880
You will be able to listen to
the full episodes inside the

212
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,540
course platform. So if you are
interested in learning more

213
00:17:55,540 --> 00:17:59,620
about the hear me teach
segments. We have multiple

214
00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:04,260
versions inside the course, we
look forward to hearing from you

215
00:18:04,740 --> 00:18:11,520
and and hope that these episodes
are helping you understand some

216
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,720
math concepts in a new way. This
has been cheri dotterer from

217
00:18:15,780 --> 00:18:20,100
tier one interventions. Have a
blast of a summer. Thanks. You.
