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?

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?

Pinch Cards This is our Elementary Example (PK-2).

Our 3rd grade uses both this version and transitions

• ur students to our Intermediate example.

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

Linking Math Work to the Mathematical Practices

DISCUSS THE FOLLOWING AT YOUR TABLE: WHICH PRACTICES WERE APPLIED WHEN SOLVING THIS PROBLEM?

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.
