Main Goal
Get your kids to reason, analyze, problem solve, compare, predict, prove…….
-Not just regurgitate-
How?
Textbook looks different…..Read math- problems imbeddedWrite math- explain answers in wordsDiscuss math- in teams and with whole classRemember- Problems are spiraled so don’t
forget how (see again in new situations at a deeper level)
More on teams…..Students now have multiple resources
available to problem solve, the teacher acting as the ultimate resource.
More complex problems can be solved with the help of others.
Teacher can now give more individualized instruction.
If students can explain their understanding, they definitely know it!
Important highlights of Class Expectations Team Test- Similar to problem solving we do
daily… with higher stakes…. Now they HAVE to perform.No make-ups
(sports absences need to arrange to take theirs before they leave)
Drop the lowest test score each semester (if missed or messed up)
Homework Must get questions answered
Will get full credit when they doMust be done before individual test
Keeping tabs on your child’s progress…
What they should be doing:
Assignment sheetAlways in their
binder
How they are doing:Assignment sheetReal time access to
grades
How can you help?Ask questions (on
the hand out that is on my website)
Encourage them to ask a friend or me!!!Tutorial (day pass)
Invest in a private tutorI will have a list
next week!
That’s all folks.Thanks for coming!
My normal handout is on MY teacher website along with other goodies.
