16. Common Core Math Standards
based on math in Singapore
Three step model:
Concrete
Pictorial representations
Abstract (algorithms)
(Real world application)
Emphasis on modeling word problems
World Rankings

17. Math Time Simply Memorizing Doesn’t Make Math “Stick”
Emphasis on Learning Why
Teach Students how to Think, not Stuff
Use Similarities to Help You Learn (using prior knowledge)

18. Computation or Concepts
Which is more important?
Concepts
Understanding
Computation
Number crunching
3 stages
figuring it out (counting)
procedural (using strategies)
automaticity
Students Don’t Acquire Automaticity from Typical Drill and Practice Programs

19. Practicing Math Facts
Computer Based Programs Typically Don’t Work For Automaticity
Will help to achieve the procedural stage
Too many facts at once
How to Achieve Automaticity
No strategies – just recall
Practice 15 facts at a time – 12 known facts and 3 unknown ones
Rocket Math App
