“Algebrafy” the Mathematics
in this room?
tell us how much money could fit in any room?
Look at your SMP and create an anchor chart describing what it should/could look like in a 3rd-5th grade classroom.
describe what it could look like.
What is mathematical modeling?
process of using mathematical tools and methods to ask and answer questions about real-world situations (Abrams 2012).
decontextualize contextualized
The sole use of manipulatives does not ensure that students are modeling mathematics.
The Condominium Problem
community 2/3 of all of the men are married to 3/5 of all of the women.
condominium community are married?
Three approaches to math instruction:
Level 1: "three step procedure" (the calculator)
homework and you'll see this exact same type of problem on the Georgia Milestone Assessment
problem”
Level 2: "this is how you" (the repeater)
participation is dependent on their willingness to attend to your “wonderful” lecture.
Level 3: the questioner (the problem solver)
What happens if we do this?
I have no idea what I’m doing making sense of the math and being able to apply it.
A Look Back
We need to change
TIMMS
TIMMS video take-aways:
angles, don't you?
because I want everybody to use the same one.
so don't worry about it.
see, when you get down to number 37 and 38, you’re gonna have to think a little bit.
Looking Back
We need to change
TIMMs We need to change
Process Standards
Georgia Milestones
How can we continue to promote and support best practice in our districts and schools? Hyper-focusing our attention on the Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMPs)
Reflect:
yourself on the last math lesson you taught.

4 pages = 35 problems
…but only 2 of them are “Common Core” because the label said so
I’m not sure that students get excited about this!
I’m not suggesting….
How my fairy works…
How do we foster growth in
What do you need to know?
Food for thought
Division: one of the most difficult math concepts we teach in elementary school?
.6 Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

Question: is the more white paper, colored paper, or is there an equal amount?
12 x 14 12 x 7
WHAT’S UP DOG?
as a little dog.
a medium-sized dog.
pounds more than the little dog.
Solve without using any numbers
How far apart are the exits on this freeway?
