Important Information • Foundations in Spearfish-”new” teacher leaders • July 12-17 • BHSU • Will have same opportunities as current teacher leaders • Master’s, math specialist • If you are continuing with SD Counts, you will be able to pick up the class you need for Master’s degree • Leadership Conference • June 15 (12:00) thru June 18 (2:00) • Madison • Registration open about January 15 • Will have 4 “bundles” to choose from worth $125-$150 • Middle School summer institute • June 8th thru 12th BHSU • “Using Manipulative in the Middle School” • Each participant will receive a kit of manipulatives

  5. Sizing Up MeasurementIntroduction • Read as a large group • Page xiii in K-2 Sizing It Up • Page xiii in 3-5 Sizing It Up

  6. Big Ideas from Chapter 9 What big ideas did you take from the reading in Chapter 9 “Developing Measurement Concepts?” With your table, write down on a piece of chart the interesting ideas you took from the reading that made you think about what you were doing in your classroom. 1-recorder 2-reporter 3-timekeeper 15 minutes

  7. Notice/Reflect/Respond • Table 9.1 Plan for Measurement Instruction-this is the purpose of why • Assessment Note-Page 258 and 260 • Misconceptions about rulers • Stop sign Page 274 • Stop sign Page 284

  8. Math Activity • “Ordering Rectangles” • Cut out your rectangles • Do the activity individually. Put them in order from biggest to smallest

  9. Let us look back to Van de Walle • Turn to Pages 264-265 in the Van de Walle book • Would this activity help to get students to the understanding that he suggests that students should have about the relationship of area to perimeter

  10. Case Study 4 • Identify 3 places where students worked through, or are in the process of working through key issues about measurement. What are the measurement ideas you see in their work? • What measurement attribute was initially used most often by students in this case to define the “biggest”? Why do you think that attribute is so prevalent? What helped to move students away from this idea?

  11. Math Activity-Crazy Cakes • Work on your own to divide the cakes into equal halves? The two halves do not need to have the same shape (5 minutes) • Work with a partner to see if they divided them the same? • Let us see how some of you divided the shapes.

  12. Crazy Cakes Video 1 • 4th grade • 15:30

  13. Large group discussion of Shape E • How did you divide Shape E

  14. Crazy Cakes-Video 2 • 4th grade class • 4:00

  15. Broken Rules • Be ready to share how you used the rules pieces to find the perimeter • What problems do you think your students will have with this activity?

  16. Exploring With Containers • Math is all about learning “non-standard” ways to measure things • Read how these first grader’s determined which container’s held the most liquid • Video clip 9:30

  17. Measuring VolumeInformally Using the colored pencils answer each question. Use the blocks if you need.
