- Building a Math Community Christine Rowe Quinn FOS Math Coach
for WR6 and WR7 christine.rowequinn@tdsb.on.ca
- Slide 2
- Our Goals for Today We will look at O An effective mathematics
classroom environment in the Early Years O Why teach through
Problem Solving? O Sharing of Best Practices by taking an in depth
look at 3 Part Lesson Framework and how to encourage accountable
Math Talk in the mathematics classroom
- Slide 3
- Maximizing Mathematical Learning in the Early Years O Identify
and use everyday mathematics knowledge to plan instruction O
Encourage and foster Math Talk O Facilitate experiences that allow
for mathematization of everyday knowledge O Model and nurture
positive attitudes, self efficacy and engagement
- Slide 4
- The Third Teacher: Your Classroom O Spaces where students can
use manipulatives to solve and record problems O Wall space to
display student work O Wall space to display co-created success
criteria that supports BIG IDEAS in current unit of study O
Manipulatives and tools organized in such a way as to provide easy
access for all students

- Early Years Numeracy Skills Number Sense is defined as a good
intuition about numbers and their relationships. It develops
gradually as a result of exploring numbers, visualizing them in a
variety of contexts, and relating them in ways that are not limited
by traditional algorithms. (Van de Walle, 2001) We want to
encourage flexible thinkers.
- Slide 10
- Counting Principles O Stable Order O Order Irrelevance O
Conservation O Abstraction Principle O 0ne-to-One correspondence O
Cardinality O Movement is Magnitude O Unitizing O Subitizing O
Counting on Where are your students on the continuum?
- Slide 11
- Math Games O Supports students learning in Number Sense O
Students can play them independently O Easy to gather the necessary
materials- usually just dice or playing cards and scrap paper O Fun
for the whole family! Great way to send home Homework
- Slide 12
- Build Ten Materials: die, base ten rods, base ten cubes.
Directions: Each student has one rod and 10 cubes. Each student
takes a turn rolling the die. As they roll, they collect the
corresponding number of cubes. They line them up along side the rod
until they reach ten. Prompting Questions along the way: How many
more until ten? What is the sum of your first roll and second roll?
I noticed you have ___ cubes. What numbers did you roll to get
__?
- Slide 13
- Addition Tic-Tac-Toe Materials: paper clips, counters/tiles,
game board Directions: 2 Players Player 1 places 2 paper clips on
two addends and then a counter over the sum. Player 2 moves only
ONE paper clip to a new addend and covers a the new sum. The
players continue until one player connects 5 spaces across,
vertically or diagonally. Prompting questions along the way: Why
did you make that move? What will your next move be? What sum are
you hoping to cover next?
- Slide 14
- Why Teach Through Problem Solving? O Encourages an increased
level of mathematical dialogue between students O The math makes
more sense O Provides the teacher with better insight into students
mathematical thinking O Builds confidence, maximizes the potential
for understanding, and allows for differences in style and approach
O Provides practice, both with concepts and with skills Small, M.
(2013). Making Math Meaningful p 97
- Slide 15
- 3 Part Lesson O Should be used daily from K-8 O The framework
is the same for every grade O The timelines are significantly
different based on the age of the students
- Slide 16
- Mathematics and Numeracy: Expected Practice Document
- Slide 17
- RICH, OPEN TASKS O Problems that require students to have to
figure out what to do O Can be solved in more than one way O Have
multiple entry points for all learners
- Slide 18
- Rich Tasks Brandon and Vanessa went to their grandfathers barn.
When they got back to the house, their mom asked what they had
seen. Brandon said they saw some chickens and pigs. Vanessa agreed
and said that she had counted 18 animals. Brandon hadnt noticed
that, but he had counted 52 legs. If Brandon and Vanessa are
correct, how many chickens and pigs were there?
- Slide 19
- How can we make this accessible to all students?
- Slide 20
- Accountable Math Talk 5 Practices for Orchestrating Productive
Mathematics Discussions By Margaret Smith and Mary Kay Stein O
Anticipating O Monitoring O Selecting O Sequencing O
Connecting
- Slide 21
- Anticipating What are the likely student responses to
challenging mathematical tasks?
- Slide 22
- Monitoring Checking students actual responses to the tasks
while students work on the tasks in pairs or small groups
- Slide 23
- Selecting Which students do you want to present their
mathematical work during the whole-class discussion?
- Slide 24
- Sequencing How will you sequence and display the student
responses?
- Slide 25
- Connecting How will you connect students' responses to each
other as well as to the key mathematical ideas of your lesson?
- Slide 26
- WHATS NEXT? O CO-PLANNING O CO-TEACHING O ASSESSMENT AND
MONITORING
