Mathematics Design Collaborative (MDC)

The Mathematics Design Collaborative (MDC) is an initiative that is being promoted and encouraged by the Georgia Department of Education (DOE) to train as many teachers as possible within the next

couple of years to use the Formative Assessment Lessons (FALs) from

the Mathematics Assessment Project (MAP) website at http://map.mathshell.org. This is the introduction to the FALs that are on the Shell Centre site. The teachers will be introduced to both Content Development Lesson and the Problem Solving Lesson. The FALs are designed to help teachers analyze student work, identify misconceptions and monitor student growth. These lessons are already written and aligned with CCGPS in the frameworks. Teachers will be shown how to use the excel spreadsheet data collection tool. Teachers will be asked to return to their classroom and implement the lessons into their plans for the remainder of the year.
