A Quick Overview
Math Practices Mathematical Practices have always historically been imbedded in the study of Mathematics. The Practices are “HOW” we learn instead of “WHAT” we learn. At your tables.. (2-4 minutes) What do the MP's mean to you? How do you use them? Share activities or tools used within your school. What is something you hope to learn about the MP's?
Math Practices Discussion... At your tables.. (2-4 minutes) What do the MP's mean to you? How do you use them? Share activities or tools used within your school. What is something you hope to learn today about the MP's?

Card Problem Choose 5 cards (no face cards) Use at least two cards (each one only one time) to make at least one expression that simplifies to 10 Now, can you use 3, 4, or all 5 cards using at least 2 different operations? How many different expressions can you make? Record your expression(s) on your paper

Problem of the Day Chris has 13 candy bars. She wants to share them among 8 children. How many candy bars will each child get if each child gets the same amount and all of the candy bars are used? You do know what fractions are and how to write some of them. You do NOT know how to complete operations with fractions. Record your work on the chart paper

Consider these things. . . Instead of an opening problem on the board that a student solves and the teacher tells the right answer... Have the students work a problem and invite a student to share his work and then invite peers to ask questions and give feedback, and share alternate approaches. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Instead of projecting the answers on the board for the student to correct homework... Have students pair and share solutions and if their solutions are different they can compare their processes and defend their thinking.
More to Consider… Instead of having the teacher present the mini lesson with a lecture explaining the concept, give definitions, and demonstrate problems… Have teachers invite students to share what they already know about a topic, then link new information to their background and invite the class to work demonstration problems collaboratively. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Instead of students completing tasks individually with the teacher answering questions… Allow the students to work alone or in small groups and seek peer assistance in order to be accountable for thinking and learning.
