Numeracy Routines in the Intermediate Classroom

Rose Palmer/Susan Aleson School District of Waukesha Friday, May 5, 2017 11:30 - 12:30

Session Outcomes

Participants will ~ ฀ understand the purpose of doing regular numeracy routines ฀ learn different types of numeracy routines ฀ engage in samples of numeracy routines

What is a Numeracy Routine?

An oral warm-up activity of 3-5 minutes ฀ Done on a regular basis ฀ Focused on a content standard ฀ Has students engaged with learning and critical thinking ฀ Used in place of traditional warm-ups or reviewing of homework

Why Routines?

฀ Make the design and flow of the learning experience more predictable ฀ Help to build critical math thinking habits ฀ Provide for a wide range of learners to access and use math practices ฀ Support reasoning and explaining thinking ฀ Support mental math calculations / fact fluency ฀ Support making sense of numbers ฀ Support students learning from each other

Number Sense Routines

Counting Routines

฀ Count Around ฀ Choral Counting ฀ Bizz-Buzz

Count Around

฀ All students participate. ฀ Everyone needs to listen to each other and count in their heads. ฀ Provide wait-time for students. ฀ Students develop fluency with place value and multiplication patterns. ฀ Teachers can record the numbers on the board to help with the noticing of patterns.

Count Around Variations

฀ Start at any number and count forwards or backwards (by 5s, 10s, 25s, 100s, powers of 10, etc.)

◌ Target number to reach ◌ Ask “What number will Jane say?” or “Will we reach

700 by the time we go around once?” ฀ Start at a multiple of a number and count forwards/ backwards (start at 120 and count backwards by 4s) ฀ Focus on fractions and decimals (count forwards/ backwards by halves starting at 13½ or by tenths starting at 24.0)

Count Around Variations

฀ Non-Incremental Counting

◌ 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, ½, ¼, ⅛, … ◌ 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45

฀ Each student picks a coin and keeps it visible. Count around adding the value of the coin. . Use coins appropriate to your grade level. 1, 26, 31, 41, 42, 67...

Choral Counting

฀ Counting aloud as a whole class ฀ Use when learning a new counting sequence ฀ Can start with visual supports (ie. hundreds chart, number line) and then gradually remove Variation: ฀ Divide class into sections to count by (ie., 1/2s, 1/4s, 1/8s, etc.) and then direct which group is counting

Bizz Buzz

฀ Determine multiples to focus on (ie. 3 and 5) ฀ Students count around the circle counting by 1s. ฀ When the count is a multiple of 3, instead of saying the number, you say “Bizz”. ฀ When the count is a multiple of 5, instead of saying the number, you say “Buzz”. ฀ When the count is a multiple of 3 and 5, instead of saying the number, you say “Bizz Buzz”.

Numbers and Relationships

฀ Target Number ฀ Guess My Number ฀ Which one’s not like the others? ฀ Operation Estimation ฀ Number Talks ฀ True False? ฀ Would you rather?

Target Number

฀ Provide students with a target number. ฀ Students think of as many ways as possible to represent the number. ฀ Share out their thinking while teacher records.

Guess My Number

฀ Give or select three clues about the number.

◌ Between 300 and 550 ◌ An even number ◌ Multiple of 4

฀ Students think through possible numbers for a moment ฀ Share with a partner ฀ Share with whole group Variation: have students create clues to share

Which one’s not like the others?

Operation Estimation: Estimation 180 Website

Operation Estimation: Where Am I?

฀ On a number line, indicate where your selected number is located. ฀ Students give possible answers. Teacher places their answers on the number line to help zero in

• n the number.

Variation: Give students numbers to place on line.. 3½ 5½ ?

Operation Estimation: Could be or Crazy?

• Teacher makes a statement.
• Students decide if the statement “Could be”

true, or is “crazy” and explain their reasoning.

• Examples:

○ If all the students in our school held hands

• utside we would reach all the way around
• ur building.

○ This container can hold 100 cm cubes. ○ Mrs. Palmer ate 3/5 of a pizza.

Number Talks

Pre-planned problem or string

• f problems that lead students

to an understanding. Example: 3 x 7, 30 x 7, 30 x 70, 0.3 x 7, 0.3 x 0.7 Resources:

True/False

This routine helps students to look at equality. Provide students with an equation to analyze. Students determine if it is true or false and defend their position. 48 + 63 - 62 = 47 3 x 7 = 7 + 7 + 7

Problem Solving

฀ Keep it short for an opening ฀ Can use CGI Problem types ฀ Avoid students racing to a solution ฀ Encourage working together ฀ Facilitate productive discourse ฀ Use a “warm-up” problem for the context

• f the main lesson’s problem

Problem Solving

The punch for the class party has orange juice, pineapple juice, and ginger ale. There is twice as much orange juice as there is pineapple juice, and 3 times more ginger ale than pineapple juice. How many ounces of each is needed if making 1½ gallon (192 ounces) of punch?
