Problem Solving to Develop Mathematical Concepts. Rigor : Require fluency , application , and deep understanding. How do you help kids do well with Constructed Response?. You have them ACE it!!. ACE it? What does that mean? How do we implement a process like this?. Implementing ACE. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT

Problem Solving to Develop Mathematical Concepts
Implementing ACE
Introduce the ACE poster and concept
to students
Go over poster, hang in your
classroom.
Have students setup their own folder.
Run through a Constructed Response.
Grade Student Work as a Class
• Give students a problem.• Have them brainstorm a solution with a partner.• Work as a class to understand the solution and
appropriate plans.• Give students copies of student work for the
problem.• Have students sort the work into 0-3 points,
following the ACE format (use the checksheet).• Discuss.
Grade Student Work as a Class
• You can find problems with graded student responses in MCAS link (2007 – 2009) have more open-ended questions then years following.
• Try something relatively easy, maybe from the previous year.
Class Models of ACE Solutions
• Students work with a partner to think about the problem and come up with a solution
• Groups present their ideas
• A class solution is written out using ACE
• Students reflect on the model. – Does the solution follow the steps to get full
credit on ACE?
• This may have to be done several times
Establish Student Baseline Score
• Teacher assigns a problem.
• Students do it individually.
• Teacher grades the problem using the ACE evaluation sheet
Peer Evaluation
• Introduce Peer Evaluation forms
• Students do a problem individually.
• Students switch papers and “grade” the problem using the ACE evaluation sheet
Problem Cycle
Students do a problem
Peer Evaluation, filling out theCheck Sheet
Student Tracks his/her progress
After 2 problems Teacher collects & grades,
student tracks the data.
Scaffold the answer sheets.
