  1. Conjectures/Justification Session 5

  2. Outcomes for Conjectures/Justifications • When you want the students to take informal knowledge and make it formal. • Proof that it will always work • It is truly based on mathematical rules

  3. Big Ideas about Conjectures • Read individually • Share at your table • Talk about it as a large group

  4. Review the introduction and editing of conjectures in the classroom. • Read pages 47-53 • Post one “big idea” from the reading on chart paper to discuss after the break.

  5. Conjectures • Go through a series of T & F number sentences 27 + 0 • Look at the series, can someone tell me a mathematical rule to help us solve these math problems

  6. Conjecture examples • 27-0 • Can someone suggest a mathematical rule for this series • How do we know this is true

  7. Watch video clip 3.2 and 3.3 • Generating a Conjecture Using Number Sentences

  8. Justification • Kids can prove to you that their answer is mathematically correct • Examples of justification must be proven by using concrete examples • Students will begin to say “I know this” • Use justification to make students understand a rule, why it works, and to prove that the algorithm will always work

  9. Handout • Big Ideas of Justification • Work through these problems and provide proof for each one. • Present justifications to the rest of the group

  10. Watch video clip 5.3, 5.1 and 5.8 • Watch students make conjectures and justify

  11. Convention What we just tell them -all symbols +, -, /, x (start talking about them when they appear in context) -definitions-when it comes up in conversation “I counted along the outside”, mathematicians call this perimeter -when they learn notations don’t use words anymore, use “add” instead of “plus”

  12. Accountibility • Developing Teachers Eyes and Ears (3-2-1) • Do in class before you leave and hand in 3-2-1
