  1. Course 3 Mrs. Bass

  2. FunFact I went to Elsinore Elementary and was promoted from EMS (then EJHS). I also attended EHS before moving to Oregon to finish my education.

  3. Elsinore Middle School Has new math textbooks! • As we are piloting the CPM textbooks, we will have a limited supply of physical copies of the text. However, every GEMS student will receive password and login information to view the textbook at home. If you do not have access to the internet at home, please let me know and we will make the appropriate accommodations. • Practice and discussion are required to understand mathematics. When your child comes to you with a question about a homework problem, often you may simply need to ask your child to read the problem and then ask what the problem is asking. If they are still struggling please try one of the following questions: • What do you know about this part of the problem? • Explain what you know right now. • What do you need to know to solve the problem? • Can you draw a diagram or sketch to help you?

  4. Growth Mindset Positive Math Mindset By Jo Boaler Everyone can learn math Mistakes are valuable Questions are important Math is about creativity and making sense Math is about communication and connections Depth is more important than speed Math is about learning not performing

  5. The Focus of the Classroom The Teacher Centered Classroom The Student Centered Classroom All students discuss a new problem/concept (explore) Formal definition Teacher asks questions to focus and support the learning Teacher lectures/shows examples of basic problems Students and teachers summarize Clarifications and Formal definition Some students engage with the math via whole class discussion Students work on their own and problems increase in difficulty Rigorous • Aligned • Balanced • Accessible
