  1. Finding the ‘Write’ Solutions: Incorporating Writing in Math Class Presented by Heather Sparks OSUWP Teacher Consultant September 19, 2009

  2. Mathography • Think of a memory from math class…

  3. Why Write in Math? National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) “Instructional programs from Pre-K through grade 12 should enable all students to— • communicate their mathematical thinking coherently and clearly to peers, teachers, and others; • organize and consolidate their mathematical thinking through communication; • analyze and evaluate the mathematical thinking and strategies of others; • use the language of mathematics to express mathematical ideas precisely. “

  4. Oklahoma’s PASS Objectives: Process Standard 2: Communication • 1. Use mathematical language and symbols to read and write mathematics and to converse with others. • 2. Demonstrate mathematical ideas orally and in writing. • 3. Analyze mathematical definitions and discover generalizations through investigations

  5. Organize & Consolidate • Garden Planning • What’s My Rule?

  6. Garden Planning • Michelle is creating plans for her spring garden. She has 36 feet of fencing to put around her garden space. What is the area of the largest size garden Michelle can design that can be enclosed by the fencing? • Organize your data so that others can understand your answer.

  7. What’s My Rule

  8. Communicate Mathematical Knowledge • Every graph tells a story • Right hand/left hand • Two of Everything

  9. Work with a partner. Write a story that matches the graph.

  10. Right Hand/Left Hand Let’s gather some data!

  11. Two of Everything

  12. Analyze & Evaluate • PIG • Extend and Explain

  13. Playing PIG • The goal of the game is to be the first player to reach 100. • On your turn, roll the dice as many times as you would like, mentally keeping a running total of the sum. When you decide to stop rolling, record your total for that turn and add it to the total from any previous turns. • If a 1 comes up on one of the dice, your turn is over and you score 0 points for that round. If you roll a 1 on both dice, you lose your turn and ALL points.

  14. Extend and Explain

  15. Math Haiku • With a partner (or two), select one of your word lists and create a haiku. • 5-7-5 syllable lines Seven is heaven Luckiest number for me Love to roll the dice
