2017/ 2018 LUSD Math Focus A brief review

“A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new”

Turn to your neighbor and share. Fluency Check-In What is one fluency activity or adjustment you did since our August PD? How did it go? Turn to your neighbor and share.

Focus on Constructive Conversations

“ …It is not possible to separate the content of mathematics from the language in which it is discussed and taught (Francis et al. 2006a, 38). -- CA Math Framework, Universal Access Chapter, p. 685

What do English Learners need in Mathematics Classrooms? 1 What do English Learners need in Mathematics Classrooms? What does the research say?

What do English Learners need in Mathematics Classrooms? Have participants listen for main points about what ELs need in Mathematics classroom.

Judit Moschkovich What do English Learners need in Mathematics Classrooms? “They need teachers who are prepared to teach Math for understanding.” “Administrators and teachers need to know that English Learners can participate in mathematical discussions.” “It’s the role of teachers to help children connect their ways of talking that are more everyday and transform those into more academic ways of talking.” Have participants partner share answer to question before clicking through 3 main points

3 What protocols can we use to engage learners in constructive conversations in mathematics?

The Process Three Reads Math Interview Math Summit

Three Reads Protocol Supports learners as they read closely to make sense of challenging word problems LF leads learners as they read a scenario three times with a different goal each time Understand the context Understand the math Make a plan Math Practices Connection MP1, MP2, MP5 ELD Standards Connection Part 1: Listening actively Part 1: Reading/viewing closely

Your Turn Alondra went to the aquarium and visited the penguin exhibit. She saw 17 penguins on the ice. Some jumped into the water, and now she only sees 8. How many penguins jumped into the water? Conduct 3 Reads with task and give time for LFs to solve

Three Reads Protocol What did you notice in the video? What do you wonder? How does this protocol support English Learners?

Three Reads Protocol (Solving) What did you notice in the video? What do you wonder? How does this protocol support English Learners?

Math Interview Protocol Supports learners as they participate in academic discussions Learners interview each other Listen to and make sense of their solution pathway Clarify and justify mathematical reasoning Math Practices Connection MP1, MP3, MP6 ELD Standards Connection Part 1: Exchanging information/ideas Part 1: Supporting opinions

Your Turn Using the cards at your table, take turns interviewing your partner to find out how they solved the problem. Conduct 3 Reads with task and give time for LFs to solve

Math Interview Protocol What did you notice in the video? What do you wonder? How does this protocol support English Learners?

Math Summit Protocol Supports learners as they participate in a grand conversation facilitated by the learning facilitator Learners compare and connect two or more solutions Identify patterns and make mathematical generalizations Math Practices Connection MP2, MP3, MP4, & MP6 ELD Standards Connection Part 1: Exchanging information/ideas Part 1: Supporting opinions

Your Turn Group Share Conduct 3 Reads with task and give time for LFs to solve

NEXT STEPS Before the next PD Try out each of the protocols (together in a lesson or in individual lessons) Reflect on how they went Adjust and try again
