Page 4 Standards of Mathematical Practice

Page 5 What does it mean to “do mathematics?” What does it mean to “do mathematics?” The Standards of Mathematical Practice are descriptions of the fundamental skills needed to “do” mathematics.

Page 6 What does it mean to “do mathematics?” What does it mean to “do mathematics?” Standards of Practice describe what it means for students to demonstrate proficiency in mathematics. They are our new “basic skills.” Content Standards are the “what” of mathematics

Page 7 We must get past the idea of mathematics as a collection of algorithms, steps, or procedures. Just getting answers, although important, is not “doing mathematics.” “Doing mathematics”

Page 16 Understanding the abstract Do you think that using base-10 blocks helps to give meaning to the multiplication algorithm? How? One common concern when using models is that students will not make connections between the concrete models, their representations, and the mathematical concept. Did we make the connections? How?

Page 17 Practice Concrete Division What does division look like using base ten blocks?

Page 18 American Idol is back! If they travel to 11 different cities and can only take a total of 132 people to Hollywood, how many people can be selected from each city? How can we use the base ten block and the array model to help us with division?

Page 20 Another Strategy for Division Use of friendly or “benchmark” numbers Partial quotient division: Multiplication for division – use what we know

Page 21 Partial Quotient Division Our family took a trip and my dad told me we drove a total of 2,112 miles in 6 days. How many miles per day did we travel on the average? What friendly numbers did you use?

Page 34 · Charge Model Use your positive/negative counters to represent the following numbers using at least the number of tiles listed. You can challenge yourself by using more than the minimum number of tiles. Be prepared to share and prove your solution. Ways to build understanding of Integers

Page 35 · Linear Model Matt earns merits and demerits at his school. One day he earned 3 merits for his math game, 2 demerits for being late to class, 1 merit for being courteous, 5 demerits for arguing with his teacher, and 2 merits for helping another student. If he began the day with 4 merits, how many did he have at the end of the day? Ways to build understanding of Integers

Page 36 Model the following problems with your counters and sketch your work using a plus sign for positive and a negative sign for negative counters: (-5) (-5) What do you notice? Make some generalizations about the rules for adding integers. Now consider: -3 - (-5) What generalization can you make? Ways to build understanding of Integers

She spent $5 on a game, but realized that she forgot to pay her annual club dues so she wrote a check for $15 because her dad said he would loan her enough money to cover the check. How much does Heather have to borrow from her dad? Ways to build understanding of Integers
