This Evening’s Agenda

*21st Century Math*

  • Group Activity - It’s more than just problem solving
  • Mathematical Practices ----> NJ Math Standards
  • Video - How the world is changing
  • What do the changes look like?
  • Opportunities to meet and exceed the Standards
  • Our New Assessments
  • Let’s try it!

Group Activity - “I’m not a Math Person”

  • 1. Select an envelope from the center of the table and

in partners, work together to solve the problem.

  • 2. Remember there may be more than one way to

solve a problem.

  • 3. Once you have completed your puzzle, use the

blank template in the center of the table to create your own puzzle.

  • 4. Now let’s reflect!

Where did it all begin?

➔ Math education to become more focused and coherent ➔ Provide clarity and specificity rather than broad general statements ➔ Stresses student understanding of key ideas, but also by continually returning to organizing principles such as place value and the laws of arithmetic to structure those ideas

Introducing the NJ Student Learning Standards

What are Standards? Standards are the learning goals for what students should know and be able to do at each grade level.

  • Teachers know what to teach
  • Parents know what children are expected to learn
  • School districts (and teachers) know what to assess

A teacher decides how best to teach students to achieve this goal.

This is where we were...

Jamie had a bag of 24 jellybeans she wanted to share with her two friends. She shared the jellybeans equally. How many jellybeans did each person get?

24 / 3 = 8 8 jellybeans

Write a number model to show your answer.

This is where we are now...

Karen had a bag of jellybeans. She gave one-eighth of them to Jenny and then one-fourth of the remaining jellybeans to

  • Jon. Karen had 21 jellybeans left in the bag.

Let’s work in groups to solve this problem.

How many jellybeans were originally in the bag? How many different ways can be used to solve this problem?

Thank You For Coming!

In the past we assigned problem solving...now we are saying, we need to teach problem solving. We need to teach students to be thinkers. ~ Sue O’Connell, author of Putting the Practices into Action
