  1. Then and Now: How Teaching Math Has Changed2014 SDCTM-SDSTA Professional Development Conference LuAnn Lindskov, NBCT Timber Lake High School Science and Math Teacher 2014 South Dakota Teacher of the Year National Math and Science Initiative Teacher Training Corps

  2. My perspective • 29 years of high school science and math teaching in South Dakota • TEC-RAM, Goals 2000, LOFTI, HSTW • 2005 Nationally Board Certified • Summer 2009—Laying the Foundation now National Math and Science Initiative • Common Core State Standards Training

  3. Then… • As the teacher, I read the textbook, synthesizing math into a series of specific steps • I presented these steps to my students providing examples with explanations • Students “did” practice/homework by themselves • I had an answer when asked, “When will I ever use this?” • Textbook was mostly the curriculum

  4. Now… • Students explore big ideas by working together and discovering concepts • Model “I do, we do, you do” with guidance • I ask questions, questions, and more questions • Students communicate understanding and explain reasoning • Students make connections to previous learning • Students see the relevance of the work • I use various assessments---formative to guide instruction

  5. NMSI Lessons • Applying Piecewise Functions (Algebra I or II) • Frantic Functions (PreCalculus) • Solids of Revolution (Geometry) • Free Lessons On-line • Home Runs, Statistics, and Probability • Using Linear Equations to Define Geometric Solids

  6. Applying Piecewise Functions • Take 10 minutes to work through as much of the activity as you can • Work in groups of 2 or three • We’ll reflect about how this activity is different

  7. Frantic Functions • Take 10 minutes to work through as much of the activity as you can • Work in table groups • We’ll reflect about how this activity is different

  8. Solids of Revolution • Take 10 minutes to work through as much of the activity as you can • Work in groups of 2 or three • We’ll reflect about how this activity is different

  9. Open Lessons • http://www.nms.org/ Resources Free Lessons

  10. Then and Now: • Lessons aren’t limited to 1 class period • Integration of many different mathematic concepts • Communicate understanding in multiple ways

  11. Assessments • Short Quizzes • Multiple choice tests • Free Response—AP Style • Writing to Win Journaling

  12. Contacts • National Math and Science Initiative http://www.nms.org • luann.lindskov@k12.sd.us
