Math Lab Lesson What did you hear in the news bulletin? Why are some of those things still regarded as controversial?

DOG WASH Four girls offered to wash the neighbor's dog for $5.00. They didn't know how to divide the money. The dog owner said: "I will pay 4/5 of the total amount equally to the four of you. The first one to tell me how much money each child should receive will get 1/2 of the other 1/5 of the cost in addition to their portion of the original 4/5". If someone gave the dog owner the right answer, how did the money get divided up between the children? Did the dog owner pay the full price that the children asked? Why or why not? Write to help explain your best thinking using words, numbers, or pictures.

Birthday Cookout Be able to explain and describe what you see happening during this lesson and task. Think about what needs to take place before children would be able to perform this task.

How many people asked for chicken? How many people asked for steak? Bob turned 60 this year! His family celebrated by having a cookout. Marcy took orders and found one fifth as many people wanted chicken as wanted steaks, one fourth as many people wanted steaks as wanted hot dogs, and one half as many people wanted hot dogs as wanted hamburgers. She gave her son-in-law, the chef, an order for 80 hamburgers. How many people asked for chicken? How many people asked for steak? How many asked for hot-dogs? What percent of the guests ordered each type of entrée? Write to help explain your best thinking using words, numbers, or pictures. Be prepared to share!

What did you see in this lesson?

What should we see? Warm-up Mini lesson, opening, setting the stage Work period, activity period Summary, closing

Role of the teacher: Plan authentic learning experiences. Provide solid foundations in math to promote application of skills and knowledge Talk less, listen more.

Role of the teacher: Circulate through the classroom, facilitating math discussions. Provide clarification when necessary. Ask questions that encourage reasoning and making connections.

Role of the teacher: Establish classroom procedures to promote effective management of small groups of differentiated learners. Participate in ongoing assessments of all learners.

Role of the students: Work individually, in pairs, or small groups to complete a task. Gather data, share ideas, look for patterns, make conjectures, and utilize problem-solving strategies.

Role of the students: look for solutions. Explore mathematical relationships and make connections to real life experiences. Ask questions and look for solutions.

What does the teacher do? TRADITIONAL STANDARDS-BASED textbook guides instruction standards and curriculum map guide instruction spends most of the time telling – whole group spends most of the time facilitating – small group seeks the “ONE” right answer from students asks more open-ended / application questions

What does the teacher do? TRADITIONAL STANDARDS-BASED teaches only specific procedures encourages students to use problem solving strategies encourages students’ questions, explanations, and discussions discourages student interaction/discussion asks mostly knowledge-level questions asks more high-level questions

What do the students do? TRADITIONAL STANDARDS-BASED work alone work in flexible groups or pairs focus on only getting the right answer use reasoning to justify their answers and solutions memorize facts for tests understand and apply concepts, as well as, facts Let’s compare the traditional classroom to the standards-based classroom. Remember that these are generalizations!! solve problems and look for real life connections practice procedures

What do the students do? TRADITIONAL STANDARDS-BASED use pencil, paper, and worksheets use manipulatives, graphic organizers, and games show knowledge by writing down numbers show knowledge both orally and written one way to show an answer use multiple representations for solutions (pictures, models, diagrams, words, etc.

What does a standards-based elementary school math classroom look like? Flexible cooperative groups of children Hands-on learning experiences “Productive” noise Differentiated student tasks and products Student work with teacher commentary Multiple representations of solutions Manipulatives, graphic organizers, charts, and graphs Minimal number of worksheets / skill and drill

More and Less LESS whole-class teacher-directed instruction LESS student passivity, sitting, listening, receiving LESS attempts by teachers to cover large amounts of material LESS rote memorization of facts and details LESS stress on competition and grades MORE experiential, inductive, hands-on learning MORE active learning with all the attendant noise of students doing, talking, collaborating MORE deep study of a smaller number of topics MORE responsibility transferred to students for their work: goal-setting, record-keeping, monitoring, evaluation MORE choice for students; e.g., picking their own books, etc. MORE attention to affective needs and varying cognitive styles of students MORE cooperative, collaborative activity. E. D. Hirsch Jr, 1986

What does a standards-based mathematics classroom look like? Essential Question 2 What does a standards-based mathematics classroom look like?

BASEBALL PIZZA PARTY Your table is going to Mellow Mushroom restaurant to celebrate your baseball team’s big win. You order food for your entire table. The restaurant charges a 6% tax for all food items, and since everyone loved the service, you decide to tip the recommended 20% to your waiter / waitress. Remember to write out your table’s order and to show all of your work. Calculate the total amount for the check (be sure to include tax and tip!) Write all of your work on a poster and be prepared to share.

Baseball Pizza Party Example: Two large all-meat pizzas for $9.99 each = $19.98 Two medium veggie pizzas for $7.88 each = $15.76 Four large waffle fries for $1.79 each = $7.16 Four large drinks = $3.96 Huge ice cream cake = $12.88 Subtotal = $59.74 6% tax = 0.06 X $59.74 = + $3.58 Total (with tax) = $63.32 20% tip = 0.20 X $63.32 = + $12.66 Total Cost (with 20% tip and 6% tax) = $75.98

Well Facilitated Classrooms Teachers must: foster student involvement and cooperation in all classroom activities; establish a productive working environment.

Table Talk What needs to be done in order to foster student involvement and cooperation in all classroom activities? Be prepared to share.

“It takes just as much energy to achieve positive results as it does to achieve negative results. So why waste your energy on failing when that same amount of energy…

… can help you and your students SUCCEED.” Harry K. Wong 1998

“Parents are sending us the best kids they have “Parents are sending us the best kids they have. They are not keeping the good ones at home.” - Larry Lezotte

Routines These are things that students automatically do without the teacher needing to prompt or supervise.

Procedures These must be explained in a clear and concise manner. These must be rehearsed, practiced, done over and over and over again until they become routines! These must be reinforced by reminding the students of the expectation and experiencing it.

“We are what we repeatedly do “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.” ---Aristotle

What is important when developing a lesson plan? Essential Question 3 What is important when developing a lesson plan?

What is important? A focus on learning, rather than teaching Bringing the “big ideas” to life A focus on learning, rather than teaching Helping students to understand, not just remember the understanding of others Incorporating a variety of different teaching strategies

Instructional Planning Be extremely familiar with grade-level standards Lessons Identify standards Determine acceptable evidence Plan instruction

Criteria for Good Tasks Involves significant mathematics Can be solved in a variety of ways Elicits a range of responses Requires communication Stimulates best performance Lends itself to a scoring rubric

Making Instructional Decisions How will we hook and hold student interest? Where are we going? Why? What is expected? How will we equip students to explore and experience? Consider How will we organize and sequence the learning? How will we help students rethink, rehearse, revise, and refine? How will we tailor learning to varied needs, interests, styles? How will students self-evaluate and reflect on their learning?

Multiple Representations Pictures Tables Words Symbols Graphs Demonstrate activities that can be used to support the given standard: Arrays (Pictures) Collections (Words) Repeated Addition (Symbols) Multiplication Table (Tables) Function/ Input-Output Chart (Graphs)

As you work this task, keep in mind what needs to be done to Polygon Percent Task! As you work this task, keep in mind what needs to be done to foster student involvement and cooperation in all classroom activities; and establish a productive working environment.

Polygon Percent Task Cut out the hexagons, triangles, rhombuses, and trapezoids to make your designs. Use polygons to make designs that cover part of the pattern (there are 60 triangles in the design). Make designs that cover at least three of these percentages of the pattern: 20%, 25%, 40%, 50%, 75%, 80%. Activity from : http://www.thefutureschannel.com/pdf/math/polygon_percent_patterns.pdf
