Math Workshop

Math Review is.............• Time to reinforce a previously taught concept

• Formative and based on daily student understanding

• Work that is de-briefed and discussed

• Used to guide instruction

• 3 to 6 review problems (based on grade level)

• An opportunity to circulate and observe common misconceptions or understandings

Math Review is ...............

• Not time to teach a new concept or trick the students

• Not pre-printed or planned by yearlong or unit objectives

• Not work completed without discussion • Not used as a grade or graded by others• Not more than six problems• Not busy work

Math Review and Mental Math

Problem Solving - happens daily in the classroom.

Conceptual Understanding

This is where you teach your curriculum. You will use Math

Expressions, Glencoe and DMI experiences as a resource.

Standards for Mathematical Practice

Mathematically Proficient Students...

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.3. Construct viable arguments and critique the

reasoning of others.4. Model with mathematics.5. Use appropriate tools strategically.6. Attend to precision.7. Look for and make use of structure.8. Look for and express regularity in repeating

reasoning.

The Standards for Mathematical Practice

Take a moment to examine the first three words of each of the 8 mathematical practices... what do you notice?

Mathematically Proficient Students...

The Standards for [Student] Mathematical Practice

What are the verbs that illustrate the student actions of each

mathematical practice?

Mathematical Practice #3: Construct viable arguments and critique the

reasoning of othersMathematically proficient students:• understand and use stated assumptions, definitions, and previously established results in

constructing arguments.

• make conjectures and build a logical progression of statements to explore the truth of their conjectures.

• analyze situations by breaking them into cases, and can recognize and use counterexamples.

• justify their conclusions, communicate them to others, and respond to the arguments of others.

• reason inductively about data, making plausible arguments that take into account the context from which the data arose.

• compare the effectiveness of two plausible arguments, distinguish correct logic or reasoning from that which is flawed, and-if there is a flaw in an argument-explain what it is.

• construct arguments using concrete referents such as objects, drawings, diagrams, and actions. Such arguments can make sense and be correct, even though they are not generalized or made formal until later grades.

• determine domains to which an argument applies.

• listen or read the arguments of others, decide whether they make sense, and ask useful questions to clarify or improve the arguments.

Standards for [Student] Mathematical Practices

• "Not all tasks are created equal, and different tasks will provoke different levels and kinds of student thinking."~ Stein, Smith, Henningsen, & Silver, 2000

• "The level and kind of thinking in which students engage determines what they will learn."~ Hiebert, Carpenter, Fennema, Fuson, Wearne, Murray, Oliver, & Human

Comparing Two Mathematical Tasks

Martha was re-carpeting her bedroom which was 15 feet long and 10 feet

wide. How many square feet of carpeting will she need to purchase?

~ Stein, Smith, Henningsen, & Silver, 2000, p. 1


Ms. Brown's class will raise rabbits for their spring science fair. They have 24 feet of fencing with which to build a rectangular rabbit pen in which to keep the rabbits.

1. If Ms. Brown's students want their rabbits to have as much room as possible, how long would each of the sides of the pen be?

2. How long would each of the sides of the pen be if they had only 16 feet of fencing?

3. How would you go about determining the pen with the most room for any amount of fencing? Organize your work so that someone else who read it will understand it.

~ Stein, Smith, Henningsen, & Silver, 2000, p.2


Discuss:How are Martha's Carpeting Task and the

Fencing Task the same and how are they

different?

ReflectionMy definition of a good teacher has

changed from "one who explains things so well that students understand" to

"one who gets students to explain things so well that they can be

understood."

5, 8 [2000]: 478)

Richard Schaar

What I learned in school may be growing increasingly obsolete today, but how I learned to learn is what helps me keep up with the world around me. I have the study of mathematics to thank for

that.

Rigor and Relevance

Rigor & Relevance Framework

Relevance makes RIGOR possible, but only when trusting and respectful

relationships among students, teachers, and staff are embedded in

instruction. Relationships nurture both rigor and relevance.

Rigor is...

Article:

Tips for Using Rigor, Relevance and Relationships.

Rigor is...

Work that requires students to work at high levels of Bloom's Taxonomy

combined with application to the real world.

3 Misconceptions of Rigor•MORE – does not mean more

rigorous.•DIFFICULT – increased difficulty

does not mean increased rigor.•RIGID – “all assignments are due

by… no exception.”

Relevance

Why do I need to know this?

Misconceptions of Relevance

•COOL – relevance doesn’t exclusively mean what the students do for “fun”

•EXCLUSIVE – relevance without rigor does not ensure success.

Relevance

Application Model1. Knowledge in one discipline

2. Application within discipline

3. Application across disciplines

4. Application to real-world predictable situations

5. Application to real-world unpredictable situations

Six Questions All Students Must Be Able to

AnswerWhen seeking rigor, relevance, and relationships,

all students should be able to answer the following questions:

1. What is the purpose of this lesson?2. Why is this important to learn?3. In what ways are you challenged to think in

this lesson?

4. How will you apply, assess, or communicate what

you've learned?5. Do you know how good your work is and how

you canimprove it?

6. Do you feel respected by other students in this class?

following fluencies are required by the CAS:• K K.OA.5 Add/subtract within 5

• 1 1.OA.6 Add/subtract within 10

Developing Mathematical Ideas

August 15 & 16, 2013

DMI is about developing YOUR mathematical

understanding

“If our goal is to create mathematically powerful children then we must also create mathematically powerful

teachers.”--Lance Menster

What is DMI?Developing Mathematical Ideas (DMI) is

a professional development curriculum presented through a series of seminars.

The premise of the DMI materialsis that the art of teaching involves helping students move from where they are into the content to be learned.

DMI PremisesDMI seminars bring together teachers

from kindergarten through middle grades to:

• learn mathematics content• learn to recognize key mathematical

ideas with which their students are grappling• learn how core mathematical ideas

develop across the grades• learn how to continue learning about

children and mathematics

DMI is a Process• This year we are working through the first module: Building a System of Tens• Today and tomorrow we are working in

the

first 3 sessionsSession 1: Analyzing Addition StrategiesSession 2: Place Value and Multiplication

Session 3: The Mathematics of Algorithms

Session One:Building a System of

TensStudent's Addition and Subtraction Strategies

Mathematical Goals for Session One• I can use multiple strategies relying on

the base ten structure and properties of operation to add and subtract multi-digit computations.

• I can use a logical visual or physical representation, such as a number line, base ten blocks, arrays, etc. to explain why my strategy works.

• I can express the same amount in different ways using powers of 10. For example, I can decompose numbers using the powers of 10 (100 is 100 ones, or ten tens, or one ten and 90 ones, etc.).

need to work through these questions.

Math Activity: Close to 100 Game

The object of the game is to create two 2-digit numbers whose sum is as close to 100 as possible. Each game has five rounds. At the end of five rounds the player with the lowest total score wins.

For Session 2, please be sure to read:

Case studies 6, 7, & 10

1. What mathematical ideas did this session highlight for you?

2. What was this session like for you as a learner?

3. What burning questions do you have about this session?

Session Two:Building a System of

TensThe Base Ten Structure of Numbers

August 16, 2013

Mathematical Goal for Session Two• The value of a number is determined

by multiplying the value of each digit by the value of the place that it occupies and then summing. For whole numbers, the value of the place farthest to the right is 1; the value of every other place is 10 times the value of the place to its right.
