Task Discussion 1: Focus on Reasoning and Explaining

July 14, 2016 10:30-12:30pm

SLIDE 3

Our Geometry Sessions

  • In our three sessions, we will engage in guided

geometry activities and facilitated discussions

  • We will look at:

– The CCSS Standards for Mathematical Practice – NCTM Mathematics Teaching Practices

  • We will come together in the same group

each day.

  • Learning vs. Doing

Our Geometry Sessions: Norms

Help one another to speak.

We stay aware of and contribute to the equity of voices in the room.

Welcome Diversity

We value and learn from our different opinions, experiences and practices.

Collaboration & Relationships

We are in this together. We are authentic in our questions/concerns/feedback.

Bring a Growth Mindset

We enter each session with a growth mindset -- open to change and to new ideas.

Self Responsibility

We take care of our physical, mental and emotional systems. We take what we came for.

True for You or Not Yet?

1.I’ve read the Standards of Mathematical Practice (SMPs: p.24). 2.I plan lesson activities to develop the SMPs in my students. 3.My classroom is structured in a way that promotes student discussions, including justifying and generalizing

Today’s Opening Talk

  • How did today’s opening talk help you better

understand the SMP’s? (discuss at your table)

Reasoning and Explaining

  • 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving
  • 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively
  • 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the

reasoning of others

  • 4. Model with mathematics
  • 5. Use appropriate tools strategically
  • 6. Attend to precision
  • 7. Look for and use structure
  • 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated

reasoning

Rotating Square Task

What do you notice?

slide-9
SLIDE 9

Rotating Square Task

What mathematical question(s) comes to mind when making sense of this figure?

slide-10
SLIDE 10

Rotating Square

The congruent squares (n units by n units)

  • verlap as shown in the figure. Vertex C
  • f one square is at the center of the
  • ther square.
slide-11
SLIDE 11

Private Reasoning Time

Remember, think like your students –How would they reason abstractly and quantitatively?

–What arguments would they construct?

If the square with vertex C is allowed to rotate about the center, C, of the other square, what is the largest possible value of the

  • verlapping shaded area?

Table Talk

Remember, think like your students –How would they reason abstractly and quantitatively?

–What arguments would they construct?

If the square with vertex C is allowed to rotate about the center, C, of the other square, what is the largest possible value of the

  • verlapping shaded area?
slide-13
SLIDE 13

Rotating Square

What is true about the largest possible value of the

  • verlapping shaded area. Justify your answer.
slide-14
SLIDE 14

Rotating Square

Use your chart paper to answer the following with your table:

  • What are mathematical questions that may

arise as students are thinking about the Rotating Squares situation?

  • How might students approach this problem?
  • How would you present this task to your

class?

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Rotating Square

What is the mathematical argument that the area of the general quadrilateral is ¼ of the area of the original non-rotating square?

slide-16
SLIDE 16

Reasoning and Sense Making

  • SMP #2: Reason abstractly &

quantitatively

  • SMP #3: Construct viable arguments and

critique the reasoning of other Read SMP’s & Discuss connection to the task.

SLIDE 17

Rotating Square Conjecture

  • Let’s examine the following conjecture based
  • n student discoveries:

The area of the shaded region is always ¼ of the area of the non-rotating square with center C.

  • Use mathematical reasoning to convince
  • thers that this conjecture is always,

sometimes, or never true.

SLIDE 18

Reasoning and Sense Making

  • Ranges from informal justification to formal

deduction, includes inductive observation.

  • Conjecture
  • Justification
  • Generalization
  • How do you get your students engaged in

each?

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Reasoning and Sense Making

  • Ranges from informal justification to formal

deduction, includes inductive observation.

  • Conjecture –

– a generalization that isn’t justified yet

  • Justification –

– a mathematical argument that is OR isn’t mathematically valid

  • Generalization –

– a conjecture for which a valid math justification can be provided

Rotating Square—Extension

D

Is this conjecture true for all pairs of squares? …other quadrilaterals?....for

  • ther regular polygons?...for circles?

Core Mathematical Idea(s)

  • What are two mathematical ideas

that stand out for you? Why are they salient?

  • What is one question that you

have?

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Thinking About Our Thinking

Reflecting on the task and activities today:

  • What new ideas for supporting student

mathematical reasoning are you thinking about?

Dialogue for Action: Next Steps

  • HW for Tonight: Reflect about our session
  • today. Be ready to share tomorrow!

–What actions will you take as a result of today? –Read the Mathematics Teaching Practices (p. 22) and reflect on how you will be implementing them in your classroom.
