Examining the Standards for Mathematical Practice

MTL MeetingOctober 18, 2011

Hank KepnerConnie LaughlinLee Ann PruskeBeth Schefelker

K-7 Content Goal for 2011-2012• Deepen our understanding of the Standards

for Mathematical Practice with a focus on: 1- Making sense of problems and persevere in

solving them.3 - Construct viable arguments and critique the

reasoning of others6 - Attend to precision

• Develop an understanding of various progressions of mathematics development.

Standards for Mathematical Practice: More than just 8 statements!

Turn and talkSummarize the Standards for Mathematical Practice.

Why are the Standards for Mathematical Practice important?

Learning Intention and Success Criteria

We are learning to Deepen our understanding of the

Standards for Mathematical Practice

We will be successful when…We can link Standards for Mathematical to

classroom instructional behaviors both teachers and students.

Reasons to Re-visit the Mathematical Practices

• Develop a common understanding of the Standards for Mathematical Practice in all MTLs.

• Develop a common message across the district as to the work of the MTL and the development of understanding for the CCSS-Mathematics.

Jigsaw the ReadingEach person reads their assigned standards

Person 1 and 5 read #1 and #6 Person 2 reads #2 and #3 Person 3 reads #4 and #5 Person 4 reads #7 and #8

Highlight the important ideas in these standards and prepare a short summary of these ideas.

3-4 MINUTES each: Take turns explaining your standards to the rest of your table group

Multiplicative Comparison4.OA.1 Interpret a multiplication equation as a

comparision, e.g., interpret 35=5 times 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisions as multiplication equations.

Let’s put that thinking to use….

Books Checked Out of The LibraryNajeeTariqCelineJamarcus

Brooks = 5 books

If Jamarcus checked out three times as many books as Dawson, how many books did Dawson check out?

Write two more sentences using the words “times as many”.

Memories

Draw upon the thinking you did on the CABS question and session on Multiplicative Reasoning – Strip Diagrams

Focus on your Mathematical Practices. For each:Identify specific instances of the practiceWhat were you doing as students?What were the instructors doing to foster this practice?

Be prepared to share your example with the whole class.

Linking the Practices to Your Work as an MTL In what way are lessons being planned toprovide students an opportunity to applyaspects of the Standards for MathematicalPractice in their daily experiences?

What experiences do classroom teachers needin order to develop these practices in their skillset?

Two areas of focus that need to be linked

Linking of LESA and Mathematical Practices

Continuum of development of the Mathematical Practices over time

Learning Intention and Success Criteria

We are learning to Deepen our understanding of the Standards

for Mathematical Practice

We will be successful when…we can link Standards for Mathematical to classroom instructional behaviors both teachers and students.

Reflection

How will you model thesepractices in each of yourassigned schools?

Feedback Question How will you use today’s ideas in your

classroom visits and coaching conversations about lesson planning? How will you notice when students’ behaviors exhibit the mathematical practices?
