Warm Up – Creating a “Math Most Wanted” List of Standards Echo: NTN Math Problem Based Learning Course NTAC 2011 Math Training Project Briefcase
Session Goals • Create a “Top 10 Most Wanted” linking math content standards with problems/projects. • Calibrate ourselves to the onslaught of information • Collaborate to develop curriculum maps with what we’ve learned this week: • Problem Based Learning • Formative Assessment • Math Literacy • Examine sample PrBL Unit & download PrBL Unit template to our Echo course • Share curriculum maps with like-content area • Workshops as needed
Problem Based Learning • A potentially useful mode of instruction that : • immediately and apparently engages student in math content deeply • maintains fidelity to your SWLO
Formative Assessment Lessons (Modules) • An available set of activities that promote best teaching practices in math, including: • Questioning techniques • Managing group work • Student analysis of student work • Aligns with common core
Literacy in the Math Classroom Let’s Get Started! Literacy Support Center Every Problem Unit or Project must have a literacy task and associated scaffolding.
Identify Standards • Think outside the box of your traditional pacing guide • What standards might fit together in a real world setting? • Choose some standards you want to start with, maybe some that you already have a problem idea for • If you’re drawing a blank, this might help… Standard(s)/ Key Concepts Real life situations Remember: This is NOT set in stone. You are brainstorming, gathering and processing ideas. front back
Potential Action Items for the rest of our time here • Start here: in groups of 3-5 discuss the math concept you shared to the google form • After that, you may wish to…. • Begin work on a curriculum map for a unit, work collaboratively • Continue your discussion on problem ideas with your table • Small group workshops on any or all of the initiatives Today and going forward: post in the Echo Discussion board: solicitation for problem ideas & problems
