Standards for Mathematical Practice 8 Mathematical facts and proceduresthe Content part of what we teachare the results of the application of mathematical habits of mind reflected in the Practices. For that reason, fidelity to the way mathematics is made and useda big part of the intent of the Mathematical Practices, requires that the Content be taught through the Practices. That way, the connections are real integrated rather than interspersed. ontent_and_Practice_standards

A recording of todays webinar will be available at: Series Design Features Each module is designed to support the exploration of two or more of the CCSS Mathematical Practices. The modules are: –designed to help teachers deepen their understanding of the practices and implement them in their classrooms –situated in classroom practice, –anchored by a high demand mathematical task, –presented in power point format with slide annotations on the Notes pages to support facilitation –1.5 to 3 hours in length, –designed to be used individually or in combination

The Common Core State Standards Illustrating the Standards for Mathematical Practice: Problem Solving Across The Grades The National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics

21 Problem Solving from NCTMs Principles and Standards for School Mathematics Problem solving means engaging in a task for which the solution method is not known in advance. In order to find a solution, students must draw on their knowledge, and through this process, they will often develop new mathematical understandings. NCTM (2000). Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. Reston, VA: Author. (p. 52)

22 Problem Solving from NCTMs Principles and Standards for School Mathematics Students should have frequent opportunities to formulate, grapple with and solve complex problems that require a significant amount of effort and should be encouraged to reflect on their thinking. NCTM (2000). Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. Reston, VA: Author. (p. 52)

23 Problem Solving In Your Classroom What opportunities do your students currently have to grapple with non-routine complex tasks and to… …. reflect on their thinking and consolidate new mathematical ideas and problem solving solutions?

24 Problem Of the Month (POM) POM is a strategy for engaging students across a range of grade levels within a school or district in problem solving. This is done using a series of related, leveled, non-routine, and challenging tasks. Here is how it works: Students in grade x and grade x + 1 work on the first of a series of leveled tasks. Then students in grade x + 1 show students in the next grade, x + 2, what they were able to do with the first task and together try to expand/enhance their solutions. Next students move on to the next level of task. And so on…

Exploring Quadrilaterals Doing Mathematics The kite manufacturer only builds quadrilateral kites. But, the company doesnt only make kites according to the mathematical definition. The manufacturer can make any type of convex quadrilateral. Manufacturer's Problem: Every time an order comes in she needs to figure out how to make the kite. This is not efficient.

Exploring Quadrilaterals Preparation for Problem Solving Teacherss Overview… of-quadrilaterals/297-properties-of-quadrilaterals-tuesday-introduction-part-a

Exploring Quadrilaterals Task as Set Up 1.In what ways could this instructional move support perseverance and/or precision within a problem solving context? 2.What might the teacher achieve by incorporating this instructional move? 3.What other instructional moves did your facilitator model that supported perseverance and precision? In the clips you watched during the task facilitation, the teacher chose to be explicit about the investigative process.

Exploring Quadrilaterals Implications for Instruction Take a few minutes to reflect on the instructional strategies discussed today. 1.Which of these strategies would you like to integrate into your own toolbox for instruction to promote problem solving and precision? 2.What could you do to prepare yourself and your students to interact with mathematics in similar ways?
