  1. Teaching to the Next Generation SSS(2007) Mathematics Pre-School Inservice (6 – 8) August 18, 2010

  2. In today’s training, we will… • engage in activities and in-depth discussions that promote higher level thinking skills • connect each standard in relation to equations with an example • be aware of items that prior grade levels have learned

  3. Comparison of Standards

  4. How do we make sense of teaching deeply? • Provide a “focused” curriculum. • Collaboration of vertical and horizontal teaching • Explore deeper content-based knowledge. Think of a swimming pool. Most people stay in the shallow end…we now need to venture to the unknown depths of knowledge. • Develop connections from 6th grade math through pre-calculus • Emphasis on higher level thinking- analysis, evaluation and synthesis

  5. Teaching For Depth • Equations as an example standard linked through the grade levels • Fair game review through models and visuals • Use cooperative learning strategies to introduce or remediate equations • Represent equations using models, vocabulary, pictures, and real world situations • Lead students to mastery level not memorization

  6. What is Rigor?

  7. What Rigor is Not: a measure of the quantity of content to be covered. a special program or curriculum for select students. about severity or hardship. only about higher-order thinking.

  8. Rigor Eric Bergholm, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Florida Rigor is quality instruction that focuses on the depth of the learning not the breadth. It’s not more work; it’s meaningful, respectful work that requires the student to think deeply and critically to accomplish the assigned tasked.

  9. Coding Scheme for NGSSS MA.6.A.3.1

  10. Identify the threading standards for solving equations.

  11. The Common Thread

  12. What are the NCTM Process Standards? • Problem Solving • Reasoning and Proof • Connections • Communication • Representation 12

  13. NCTM Process Standards Problem Solving Developing perseverance and critical thinking Allow students think time to reach a solution Reasoning and Proof Mathematical conjectures Examples and counter examples Communication Read, write, listen, think, and discuss Increase the use of appropriate math vocabulary

  14. NCTM Process Standards Connections Integers, expressions, and equations Other content areas, science Real-world contexts Representation Useful tools for building understanding Concrete - Representational - Abstract Tables, describe in words, draw a picture, write and solve equations

  15. Focus on Equations!

  16. 6th Grade Equation Strategies Solving one-step algebraic equations

  17. NGSSS: Equations(6th) MA.6.A.3.2 • Example: The height of a tree was 7 inches in the year 2000. Each year the same tree grew an additional 10 inches. Write an equation to show the height h of the tree in y years. Let y be the number of years after the year 2000. The most literal equation might be 7 + 10y = h.

  18. STRATEGIES Dynamic Classroom Interactive Scale--Big Ideas website Human Equations Algebra Tiles Magic Square

  19. Dynamic Classroom Interactive Scale This strategy gives students a visual opportunity to see an algebraic equation solved using a scale. This demonstrates how equations must be balanced. Benefits: It allows the students to enhance computer skills and provides a high interest activity with graphics.

  20. Human Equations This is a kinesthetic activity that provides the students with an opportunity to move throughout the classroom while modeling how to solve one-step equations. Benefits: Allows students to cooperate in a group activity while moving throughout the room .

  21. How do I do this? Students are given cards with numbers, variables and symbols on them. An equation is placed on the board. X + 7 = 10 d – 8 = 9 a + 2 = 11 Students will model the equation with their cards in the front of the class. Students in the class are called on to solve the problem by moving the cardholders as they go through the steps of solving the problem.

  22. Algebra Tiles They are used to solve algebraic equations using colors and shapes. Benefits: Students see positive and negative integers in colors. It allows them to see constants and variables in different shapes.

  23. Algebra Tile Example Try x – 4 = 8.

  24. Magic Squares This is an enrichment option from page 289 of the 6th grade textbook. Benefits: This provides a cooperative learning activity for students to explore and expand their comprehension of one-step equations and encourages higher-level critical thinking skills.

  25. Magic Square…Your Turn!

  26. NGSSS: 7th gradeMA.7.A.3.3 Example: It costs an initial fixed cost of $2 plus an additional $1.50 per mile to rent a taxi. Write an equation that represents the method for calculating the total cost of a taxi ride? What is the total cost for a 5-mile trip?

  27. Systems of Equations Big Ideas Math Textbook Aligned to the Next Generation SSS www.floridastandards.org

  28. NGSSS: 8th grade Example: Jan decided to save some money. She already had $25. She received and saved $5 on Friday each week for 8 weeks. Make a table and a graph of the money she would have each week. If she continues with this same savings plan, how much money will she have after 2 years?

  29. Lesson: Systems of Equations Essential Question: How can you solve a system of linear equations? Chapter: 2 Section: 5 Topic: Linear Systems Next Generation Standard : MA.8.A.1.3 & MA.8.A.1.4

  30. Systems of Equations MA.8.A.1.3 • Big Idea 1 - Analyze and represent linear functions, and solve linear equations and systems of linear equations. • Benchmark: Use tables, graphs, and models to represent, analyze, and solve real-world problems related to systems of linear equations.   MA.8.A.1.4 • Big Idea 1 - Analyze and represent linear functions, and solve linear equations and systems of linear equations. • Benchmark: Identify the solution to a system of linear equations using graphs

  31. Vocabulary 2-5 System of Linear Equations – two or more linear equations placed together Solution of the System of Linear Equations – any ordered pair in a system that makes all of the equations true. No solution – when two lines are parallel there are no points of intersection. Since the two lines do not share a common point, there is no solution for parallel lines. Infinite solutions – a system of linear equations has no limit to the pairs of solutions

  32. Systems of Equations • Activities: • Taking Math Deeper TE pg. T-81 • Incorporates Kagan strategy, Think-Pair-Share • Game Closet: Tic-Tac-Toe • http://www.bigideasmath.com/uploads/games/game_14.pdf

  33. Systems of Equations Lesson Objective: To solve systems of linear equations using three different techniques http://www.bigideasmath.com/protected/content/ipe/grade%208/02/g8_02_05.pdf Vocabulary: system of linear equations, solution of a system of linear equations Previous Learning: In Section 1.3n 8th grade textbook, students learned how to solve equations with variables on both sides

  34. TIC – TAC – TOE

  35. Think – Pair - Share Setup: Six note cards with the solving methods below: (2 cards per a method) 1. Solve Using Algebra. 2. Solve Using A Graph. 3. Solve Using A Table. The teacher will give examples to the class, such as: A middle school yearbook committee has 35 members. There are 7 more girls than boys. Use the models to write a system of linear equations. Then solve the system to find the number of boy x and the number of girls y.

  36. Procedure Students will be in teams of 4. A stack of note cards will be in each team. Each team will choose a note card from the note card pile. Each student will allow 2-3 minutes to think and solve individually with the method that is shown on their card. When time is up, the students will share and check each others work and come up with a consensus before they share with the entire team. The teacher will then pick and review answers and methods from 2 groups before moving on to another example.

  37. Where do they go from here? • AlgebraMA.912.A.3.1 :3(2x+5) = 10x-3+2x • GeometryMA.912.G.5.4 : Are these equations parallel, perpendicular, or intersecting.Y = 3 (x - 3) + 9 y = 2.1 (x + 2) - 4 • Algebra IIMA.912.A.6.5 : 3 log x = 4 • Pre-CalculusMA.912.T.3.4 : Solve 2 sin(x) +1=0 on the interval [0, 2p)

  45. Thank You!

  46. Food For Thought • Liping Ma (1999) used this exact problem with teachers in the U.S. and in China. • Of 23 U.S. teachers: • 6 could not create a story problem • 16 created story problems with misconceptions • -Confusing dividing by 1/2 with dividing by 2 • -Confusing dividing by 1/2 with multiplying by 1/2 • 1 provided a conceptually correct representation, but it contained pedagogical problems • -Fractional number of children • 90% of Chinese teachers created a correct representation
