Why Teachers’ Mathematics Content Knowledge Matters:
“Professional Learning Opportunities for teachers of mathematics have increasingly focused on deepening teachers’ content knowledge. Based on research studies…
Teachers’ content knowledge made a difference in their professional practice and their students’ achievement.
Teachers’ depth of knowledge meant problems were presented in familiar contexts to the children and the teacher linked them to activities they had previously completed.
Teachers with stronger content knowledge were more likely to respond to students’ mathematical ideas appropriately, and they made fewer mathematical or language errors during instruction.
The Instructional Core
Principle #1: Increases in student learning occur only as a consequence of improvements in the level of content, teachers’ knowledge and skill, and student engagement.Principle #2: If you change one element of the instructional core, you have to change the other two..

“Fractions hold the potential for being the best kind of pre-algebra.”
H.WuProfessor of Mathematics
University of California, Berkeley
“…when the ramp collapses, the students aren’t able to scale a gentle slope, but rather try and climb a wall at 90 degrees.”
“In algebra, generality and abstraction are expressed in symbolic notation. Fluency with symbolic manipulation is an integral part of algebra proficiency.”
“Is it reasonable to expect a person to run well if his walk is wobbly?”
“Early grades algebraic thinking approach gives focus on gaining conceptual understanding of abstract symbols.”
Teachers need to be very careful to extend their own knowledge of what a fraction is (IT IS NOT AN ACTIVITY), as well as how to approach teaching addition and subtraction of fractions with their students. The definitions and strategies that are impressed upon the students needs to be accurate and a continuum from what they already know about whole numbers and their operations.
“No matter how much algebraic thinking is introduced in the early grades and no matter how worthwhile such exercises might be, the failure rate in algebra will continue to be high UNLESS WE RADICALLY REVAMP THE TEACHING OF FRACTIONS AND DECIMALS.”
H.Wu, Univ. of Calif., Berkeley
Fraction Progression Online Module
The Council of the Great City Schools, University of Arizona’s Institute for Mathematics and Education (IM&E), and Achieve collaborated on the development of an online professional development module to deepen understanding of the Fractions Progression - a critical focus in the standards. This online, interactive module is available free of charge to all users and takes about 60 minutes to complete.
The module features: Brief video segments that explain fraction concepts
Illustrative tasks associated with the progression
Built in, interactive checks for understanding throughout the module

Rigor is defined as a process where students: Approach mathematics with a disposition to accept challenge and
apply effort.
Engage in mathematical work that promotes deep knowledge of content, analytical reasoning, and use of appropriate tools; and
Emerge fluent in the language of mathematics, proficient with the tools of mathematics, and empowered as mathematical thinkers.
Focus on complexity of content standards in order to successfully complete an assessment or task.
The outcome (product) is the focus of the depth of understanding.

A scale of cognitive demand (thinking) based on
the research of Norman Webb (1997).
Categorizes assessment tasks by different levels
of cognitive expectation required of a student in
order for them to successfully understand, think
about, and interact with the task.
Key tool for educators so that they can analyze
the cognitive demand (complexity) intended by
the standards, curricular activities, and
assessment tasks.

“Writing in mathematics gives me a window into my students’ thoughts that I don’t normally get when they just compute problems. It shows me their roadblocks, and it also gives me, as a teacher, a road map.” -Maggie Johnston
9th grade mathematics teacher, Denver, Colorado“Using Writing in Mathematics to Deepen Student Learning”
by Vicki Urquhart
Why are we writing in math class?
David Pugalee (2005), who researches the relationship between language and mathematics learning, asserts that writing supports reasoning and problem solving and helps students internalize the characteristics of effective communication. He suggests that teachers read student writing for evidence of logical conclusions, justification of answers and processes, and the use of facts to explain their thinking.

Integrating writing into the mathematics classroom
• Writing can provide valuable insight for teachers into their students’ mastery of math concepts.
• Writing often reveals gaps in learning and misconceptions which can help inform teachers for instructional planning and intervention strategies.
• Communicating about mathematics through writing helps strengthen student learning which can build conceptual understanding.
• Students are able to clarify their thinking about a math topic through writing.
• Integrating writing into the curriculum can be easy with a little planning.

“Students write to keep ongoing records about what they’re doing and learning.”
“Students write in order to solve math problems.”
“Students write to explain mathematical ideas.”
“Students write to describe learning processes.”
http://www.readwritethink.org
Grade Levels: K-2“Going on a Shape Hunt: Integrating Math and Literacy”• Students are introduced to the idea of shapes through a read-aloud
session with an appropriate book. They then use models to learn the names of shapes, work together and individually to locate shapes in their real-world environment, practice spelling out the names of shapes they locate, and reflect in writing on the process. This lesson provides opportunities to engage students using many different learning modalities.
Grade Levels: 1-2“Draw a Math Story: From the Concrete to the Symbolic”• identify and use key mathematical terms in discussion and in writing.
• draw a series of pictures telling a sequential story which depicts objects being added or taken away.
• tell and write a sequential story which corresponds to their drawings.
• state or write equations that correspond to their stories.
http://www.readwritethink.org
Grades Levels 3-5“Talking, Writing, and Reasoning: Making Thinking Visible with Math Journals”
Getting Started with Math Journals• Sharing a good math-related children’s book or exploring
puzzles – such as the Magic Triangle are good ways to begin working with Math Journals.
• At the beginning stages of working with Math Journals, it helps students if they are presented with an open-ended prompt instead of having to develop an idea on their own. This kind of prompt is best for revealing students’ thinking, too.
• Teachers should collect and view journal entries and make written comments to encourage the written dialogue between the student. Teachers can ask specific questions.
Tasks to build literacy through mathematics and science content
Inspired and informed by the work of the Literacy Design Collaborative, the Dana Center has created mathematics- and science-focused template tasks to explicitly connect core mathematics and science content to relevant literacy standards for students in grades 7–9. The mathematics template tasks were built from the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics Standards for Mathematical Practice.

"It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly
secure, and to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is
no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous
and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.“
Alan Cohen
