3. Expectations and clearing up confusion This webinar focuses on CCGPS content specific to Unit 4, 6 th Grade. For information about CCGPS across a single grade span, please access the list of recorded GPB sessions on Georgiastandards.org. For information on the Standards for Mathematical Practice, please access the list of recorded Blackboard sessions from Fall 2011 on GeorgiaStandards.org. CCGPS is taught and assessed from 2012-2013 and beyond. A list of resources will be provided at the end of this webinar and these documents are posted in the 6-8 wiki. http://ccgpsmathematics6-8.wikispaces.com/

4. Expectations and clearing up confusion The intent of this webinar is to bring awareness to:  the types of tasks that are contained within the unit.  your conceptual understanding of the mathematics in this unit.  approaches to the tasks which provide deeper learning situations for your students. We will not be working through each task during this webinar.

5. Welcome! Thank you for taking the time to join us in this discussion of Unit 4. At the end of today’s session you should have at least 3 takeaways:  the big idea of Unit 4  something to think about…some food for thought  how might I support student problem solving?  what is my conceptual understanding of the material in this unit?  a list of resources and support available for CCGPS mathematics

6. Welcome! Please provide feedback at the end of today’s session.  Feedback helps us become better teachers and learners.  Feedback helps as we develop the remaining unit-by-unit webinars.  Please visit http://ccgpsmathematics6-8.wikispaces.com/ to share your feedback..http://ccgpsmathematics6-8.wikispaces.com/ After reviewing the remaining units, please contact us with content area focus/format suggestions for future webinars.

7. Misconception?

8. Welcome! For today’s session have you:  read the mathematics CCGPS?  read the unit and worked through the tasks in the unit?  downloaded and saved the documents from this session? Ask questions and share resources/ideas for the common good. Bookmark and become active in the 6-8 wiki. If you are still wondering what a wiki is, we will discuss this near the end of the session.

9. Misconception?

10. What do we do with mistakes and misconceptions? Avoid them whenever possible? "If I warn learners about the misconceptions as I teach, they are less likely to happen. Prevention is better than cure.” Use them as learning opportunities? "I actively encourage learners to make mistakes and to learn from them.”

11. Diagnostic teaching. Source: Swann, M : Gaining diagnostic teaching skills: helping students learn from mistakes and misconceptions, Shell Centre publications “ Traditionally, the teacher with the textbook explains and demonstrates, while the students imitate; if the student makes mistakes the teacher explains again. This procedure is not effective in preventing... misconceptions or in removing [them]. Diagnostic teaching..... depends on the student taking much more responsibility for their own understanding, being willing and able to articulate their own lines of thought and to discuss them in the classroom”.

12. Activate your Brain A towns’ total allocation for firefighter’s wages and benefits in a new budget is $600,000. If wages are calculated at $40,000 per firefighter and benefits at $20,000 per firefighter, write an equation whose solution is the number of firefighters the town can employ if they spend their whole budget. Solve the equation. Adapted from Illustrative Mathematics: 6.EE Firefighter Allocation

13. Misconceptions It is important to realize that inevitably students will develop misconceptions… Askew and Wiliam 1995; Leinwand, 2010; NCTM, 1995; Shulman, 1996

14. Misconception

16. Misconceptions Therefore it is important to have strategies for identifying, remedying, as well as for avoiding misconceptions. Leinwand, 2010; Swan 2001; NBPTS, 1998; NCTM, 1995; Shulman, 1986;

17. Importance of Dealing with Misconceptions 1) Teaching is more effective when misconceptions are identified, challenged, and ameliorated. 2) Pupils face internal cognitive distress when some external idea, process, or rule conflicts with their existing mental schema. 3) Research evidence suggests that the resolutions of these cognitive conflicts through discussion leads to effective learning.

18. Some principles to consider Encourage learners to explore misconceptions through discussion. Focus discussion on known difficulties and challenging questions. Encourage a variety of viewpoints and interpretations to emerge. Ask questions that create a tension or ‘cognitive conflict' that needs to be resolved. Provide meaningful feedback. Provide opportunities for developing new ideas and concepts, and for consolidation.

20. Misconception If f represents the maximum number of firemen that could be employed then f = 15.5

21. Misconception If f represents the maximum number of firemen that could be employed then f = 15.5 There can only be one f in an equation, therefore 600,000 + 20,000 = 40,000 f 620,000 = 40,000 f 15.5 = f

22. Misconception If f represents the maximum number of firemen that could be employed, then 600,000 = 40,000 f + 20,000 f. f = 7

23. Misconception If f represents the maximum number of firemen that could be employed, then 600,000 = 40,000 f + 20,000 f. f = 7 f = 7 because f is the 7 th letter of the alphabet!

24. What’s the big idea? Overview Key Standards Enduring Understandings Essential Questions Strategies for Teaching & Learning

25. What’s the big idea? Develop a conceptual understanding of solving simple equations using properties of equality. Develop a conceptual understanding of inequalities. Deepen understanding of operating with variables.

34. Misconceptions x + 1 = 7 and y + 1 = 7 are different equations. You can’t do p + q = 10 because there isn’t an answer. If y stands for yards and f stands for feet, then y = 3 f. Adapted from Project Mathematics Update

39. Examples & Explanations

48. A theme park has a log ride that can hold 12 people. They also have a weight limit of 1500 lbs per log for safety reasons. If the average adult weight 150 lbs, the average child weights 100 lbs and the log itself weighs 200, the ride can operate safely if the inequality is satisfied. There are several groups of children of differing numbers waiting to ride. Group one has 4 children, group two has 3 children, group three has 9 children while group four 6 children. If 4 adults are already seated in the log, which groups of children can safely ride with them? Adapted from Illustrative Mathematics: 6.EE Log Ride

63. Suggestions for getting started: Read the unit and work through the tasks with your colleagues. The only way to gain deep understanding is to work through each task. Make note of where, when, and what the big ideas are. Discuss the focus and coherence of the unit. Make note of where, when, and what the pitfalls might be. Look for additional tools/ideas you want to use. Determine any changes which might need to be made to make this work for your students. Share, ask, and collaborate on the wiki. http://ccgpsmathematics6-8.wikispaces.com/
