In this Session, teachers will:
Reflect on current views of teaching mathematics and what it means to ‘teach through problem solving’;
Engage in a lesson which is taught through problem solving
Analyze a lesson – noticing the attributes of the Framework

…where students are confidently engaged in doing mathematics, problem solving,
reasoning, critical thinking, collaboration and inquiry. This classroom will feature teachers who intentionally facilitate a community of students with rigorous and relevant tasks,
building on student understanding and strategies to develop procedural and
conceptual knowledge. - National Mathematics Strategy

National Mathematics Strategy
Ensure common framework for teaching emphasizing problem solving
Ensure access to effective, proven interventions
Ensure opportunities for rigorous, relevant tasks
Establish standards for use of high quality texts and resources
Provide professional development for coaching, content and instruction

Observing the Mathematics ClassroomQuestions: What opportunities do students have to
discuss and share their own ideas and understandings of the mathematics?
How does the teacher elicit prior knowledge from the students?
How does the teacher use the prior knowledge of the students to build new ideas and understanding of concepts?
Which strategies does the teacher use to check for understanding?
What types of questions do(es) the teacher/students ask?
How do the tasks/problems presented by the teacher lend themselves to students’ discovery of important mathematical concept or further development of an understanding of concepts?
How rigorous and relevant were the tasks?
