Protocols and Procedures for Fostering Mathematics Discourse - Elementary Sep 16, 2013 (2:00 pm - 2:50 pm) Protocols and Procedures for Fostering Mathematics Discourse - Elementary Sep 16, 2013 (2:00 pm - 2:50 pm) This session will examine some of the protocols and procedures you’ll need to foster meaningful mathematics discourse in elementary school classrooms, including Number Talks.
Outcomes Participants will deepen their understanding of mathematics discourse, including some background and rationale. Participants will experience Number Talks and consider how they might be used as part of a daily routine. This session will examine some of the protocols and procedures you’ll need to foster meaningful mathematics discourse in elementary school classrooms, including Number Talks.
Agenda Background and rationale Experience a variety of Number Talks Consider implications for implementation of mathematics discourse. Closing Cecilio
Enhancing Instruction for CCSSM “FAL” Mini-Unit with Forma-tive Assess-ments Intent: Participants will understand how a unit can be upgraded. Talking Points: Explain to participants that a unit normally lasts between 9 and 14 days. It begins with a pre-assessment and instructional decisions are based upon the misconceptions that arise from the pre-assessment. An expert investigation is then given and instructional decisions are made based upon the misconceptions and strengths from the expert investigation. A Formative Assessment Lesson (FAL) is then given to students and instruction is again based upon data from the FAL. A final assessment is given to students at the end of the unit. This is the big picture of unit design. We will be looking at each one more carefully during the math break-out sessions this year. Number Talks Upgrading Units

CCSS Mathematical Practices REASONING AND EXPLAINING 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others OVERARCHING HABITS OF MIND 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them 6. Attend to precision MODELING AND USING TOOLS 4. Model with mathematics 5. Use appropriate tools strategically SEEING STRUCTURE AND GENERALIZING 7. Look for and make use of structure 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

Curriculum Leadership Council 2011-2012 CLC December 6, 2011 Norms “No one is as smart as all of us are together.” Respect Individual think time Everyone participates Everyone helps Leave no one behind Be positive Technology courtesy
Socio-mathematical Norms Errors are gifts, they promote discussion. Share a second sentence to connect your thoughts. The answer is important, but it is not the math. Build on the thinking of others. Ask questions until ideas make sense. Think with language and use language to think.

Questions Teachers Might Ask Who would like to share their thinking? Did someone solve it a different way? Who else used this strategy to solve the problem? How did you figure it out? Cecilio Intent: Participants will review possible questions teachers may ask of their students during a number talk. Talking Points: These questions are just a few questions a teacher would ask. The teacher could also have sentence stems that students use to share out their solutions and strategies. (Especially helpful for EL students.)
