Yekaterina Milvidskaia and Tiana Tebelman CSUSM March 12, 2015 Adapting Lessons Yekaterina Milvidskaia and Tiana Tebelman CSUSM March 12, 2015

Background 8th grade math teachers at Vista Magnet Middle school (4th and 5th year) Math for America San Diego Fellow and Alumni

Math Teaching Philosophy We strive to give students open ended, rich math problems that allow students to think critically and lead them to discover or see the need for a mathematical concept.

In Our Classroom We Believe that Students must be thinking to be learning Less is more and deeper is better Student collaboration is key Student thinking and creativity should be highlighted All students have mathematical abilities that should be valued Mistakes are important

How to Adapt Lessons Two of the fundamental components of adapting a lesson involve changing the: Lesson Content Classroom Culture

Lesson Content

CPM Problem CC Course 3 (8th)

Modified Problem Small Modification: Delete directions and don’t give students a numbered/labeled graph to use. Further Modification: Given the table, predict the cost of the vehicle with 23,000 miles.

CPM Problem CC Course 3 (8th)

Modified Version Is it possible to find the measure of angle 1 if angle 2 is 78o and angle 4 is 127o. Provide mathematical justification for your claim.

Compare and Contrast What differences and similarities do you notice? Which lesson would you prefer as a student? Which mathematical practices standards are addressed in each lesson?

The Secret Weapon… when things fail... The “student from last year” had this conjecture… The “student from last period” had the idea to… Do you agree or disagree with them?

Holt Textbook Algebra Problem 80. Carrie is reading a book and wants to find the first page of a specific chapter. She is now on page 217. She knows that the chapter she is looking for starts within 40 pages of where she is now. Write and solve an absolute-value equation to find maximum and minimum page numbers where Carrie should look. (Lesson 2-7)

Adapted Algebra Problem Book Problem Gabriel is reading a book and he is currently on page 105. He is looking for a specific event and he knows that the event is within 30 pages of the page he is currently on. a)Which of the following page numbers are possible pages where he should look? Please circle them. 111, 125, 140, 177, 99, 86, 75, 74

Adapted Algebra Problem Book Problem (continued) b) What is the lowest possible page number that he should look at? What is the highest possible page number that he should look at? c) What are ALL the possible page numbers where Gabriel might find the specific event? Please represent your solution in as many ways as possible.

Traditional Transformation Problems

Modified Version Directions: Your goal is to rotate the following pre-image (triangle ABC) so that it matches my new image exactly (triangle A'B'C'). First, your team must decide which questions you need to ask in order to rotate the pre-image correctly. Your challenge is to ask as few questions as possible. When your team has written down your question(s), please have the Team Captain raise their hand to ask the question(s).

Why Modify? •Increased student engagement •Effective method of eliciting student thinking •Students create their own mental images, instead of imposing teacher's image •Students appreciate different methods and ways of thinking •Students see a need for mathematics

Changing Lesson Content Remember that less is more and deeper is better. Consider fewer problems for students to work on. Leave problems open-ended and don’t tell students what tools to use to solve the problems. Let the students think and be creative.

Teacher Guide

Classroom Culture

Classroom Culture Purposely structured group work(group roles, complex instruction, high expectations) Student presentations to value multiple approaches, methods, and mistakes Teacher is the facilitator and questioner

Change Takes Time… Start Small! Don’t try to change everything at once! Try implementing one idea at a time (but keep a list of other things you want to try later so you don’t forget them)

Questions?

Work on Adapting a Lesson Pick an upcoming lesson and think about ways to modify the lesson so that: Students are puzzled Student can be creative By the end of the problem, students will see the need for the mathematics they learned. Be ready to share your ideas!
