MATH 90 CURRICULUM RENEWAL& MATH MAKES SENSE 9 WORKSHOP
January 28th, 2010
PrayerHeavenly Father, remind us each
day that, of all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love. It is not enough to share that love with those we hold dear. Open our hearts not just to those who are close to us, but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive; show patience, empathy and love. Amen.
Goals for this Session:
To become acquainted with the renewed Mathematics 90 curriculum
To become familiar with the MMS 9 resource components and lesson format
To get ready to teach Unit 2: Exponents and Powers

Why the change? Development of a Common Curriculum
Framework: Western & Northern Canadian Protocal (WNCP, 2006) http://www.wncp.ca/english/subjectarea/mathematics/ccf.aspx
According to the WNCP, the critical components students must encounter in a mathematics program are: communication, connection, mental math and estimation, problem solving, reasoning, technology, & visualization.

How can we promote deeper understanding and incorporate inquiry learning in the mathematics classroom.?
“BELIEVE IN KIDS! GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS AND MAKE SENSE OF MATHEMATICS. YOU DO NOT NEED TO TELL THEM EVERYTHING. KIDS ARE AMAZING!”

Math Makes Sense: Resource Components
ProGuide CD - editable files (need Math Type 6.0 and Adobe Reader)
Program Masters Unit Masters (from the back of each Unit
ProGuide, including the sample test & step-by-step masters)
Planning for Instruction Charts EP(Extra Practice) & APK (Activating Prior
Knowledge) Handouts Projects (Unit 1, 4, 9)
Math Makes Sense: Resource Components
Preparation and Practice Book - reproducible copy and teacher edition
This book is designed to support teachers in their work with students who struggle with math.
It parallels the textbook, but provides a lower entry point for weak students.
Handouts can also be used to review prior concepts and reinforce the course material.

and calculators to do math Glossary
The Lesson Modell
Investigate
Connect
Practice
Reflect & Share
Discuss the Ideas
The Lesson Model
1. Investigate – brief problem-solving activity designed to draw out prior knowledge and stimulate student interest
Reflect and Share – allows students to make connections and develop mathematical reasoning skills
The Lesson Model
2. Connect – presents new problems and instruction to teach the math concepts. Involves a range of examples.
Discuss the ideas – opportunity for students to communicate their understanding of the concepts
The Lesson Model3. Practice – progressively
challenging range of problemsAssessment Focus Question – allows
students to demonstrate their level of achievement
Take it Further – extension questions Reflect – opportunity for students to
communicate/summarize their understanding
Math Makes Sense OverviewProGuide Structure to Support Teachers: Before – Getting Started: Teachers should
activate prior knowledge using the introduction to the lesson and key questions. Present the problem in the investigate and ensure expectations are clear.
During – Investigate: Teachers should listen carefully, observe and assess, and ask questions to facilitate learning.
After – Connect: Review responses from the reflect and share. Use the connect and examples to complete the lesson.
Items to consider Importance of a positive attitude Classroom organization Manipulative organization Parent Communication (i.e. division
parent letters) Use of Calculators Assessment Focus Questions Word Walls – highlights key words in
each unit
