Part I PowerTeaching: Mathematics Overview
What is PowerTeaching: Mathematics? PowerTeaching: Mathematics is an instructional framework that links state standards and school curricula to research-proven instructional strategies that promote rigor and student engagement.
PowerTeaching: Mathematics Basics • Multiday lesson framework • Can be used with any textbook and/or curriculum • Supported by ongoing professional development • Designed to move from a teacher-centered classroom to a student-centered classroom through: • compelling concept presentations • assessments for learning • student learning teams
What is cooperative learning? Cooperative learning refers to a set of instructional methods in which students work in small, mixed-ability learning teams. The students in each team are responsible not only for learning the materials being taught in class, but also for helping their teammates learn.
Benefits of Cooperative Learning • Increases positive peer interaction • Increases student motivation to learn • Increases student academic achievement
PowerTeaching: Mathematics:The task is not to do, but to learn.
Part II Experiencing PowerTeaching: Mathematics
Activity | Team Résumé • List names of the team members. • List work experiences outside the field of education. • List number of years in the field of education and the total number for your team. • List individual strengths you bring to the team. • Choose a team name. • Place the team name at the top of the résumé. • Sign your names upon completion.
The Team Score Sheet • Write your team name at the top of the team score sheet. • Write the names of each team member in the spaces provided. • Write your team name on each side of the table tent provided.

Teamwork | Team Huddle • As a team, glue the items from your sailboat kit onto the inventory sheet. • Make sure that each team member can justify the team’s choices and that the inventory sheet reflects the model sailboat presented. • The first one is done as an example.
Teamwork | Team Mastery • Complete the worksheet individually. • After you finish, compare and justify your answers to your teammates.

Debriefing the Geometric Sailboat Activity • During Active Instruction, how were you kept engaged? • What was the teacher doing during Teamwork? • What were you and your team doing during Teamwork? • What did you learn from this simulated experience?
Part III How will PowerTeaching: Mathematics affect you and your students?
Cognitive Complexity and PowerTeaching: Mathematics Low Complexity PowerTeaching: Mathematics Warm-Up: • Focuses on previously learned concepts/principles • Supported by team cooperation goals • Allows for differentiated responses
Cognitive Complexity and PowerTeaching: Mathematics Medium Complexity Active Instruction and Teamwork (Huddle): • Built around state standards • Seeks and builds on the foundation of prior knowledge • Employs reasoning and problem-solving strategies • Encourages justification of steps used to solve problems • Challenges ones own methods
Cognitive Complexity and PowerTeaching: Mathematics High Complexity Teamwork (Mastery) and Assessment: • Centers around individual explanations of the concepts being presented • Allows for the independent practice and demonstration of state standards objectives/Big Ideas
