  1. Mathematical ReasoningGED 2014 Presenters: Amy Vickers and Lindsey Cermak

  2. Warm Up • What does this mean? Interpret this statement in your own words and explain it to everyone at your table. • Does this concept connect with any math topics that you currently teach? Which topics?

  3. Amy VickersTeacher GED 2014 PD Grant Coordinator Lindsey CermakGED Instructor/Coordinator …a program of theMinnesota Literacy Council

  4. Objectives • To articulate the content and format of the Mathematical Reasoning module of the 2014 GED test • To be able to use a few teaching strategies in your classrooms right away to begin the transition to the new test, including ways to use existing materials • To create a personal PD plan related to the Mathematical Reasoning module

  5. Outline

  6. Warm Up • What does this mean? Interpret this statement in your own words and explain it to everyone at your table. • Does this concept connect with any math topics that you currently teach? Which topics? Purpose 1: To demonstrate that it is possible to do everything that is on the GED 2014 Mathematical Reasoning module. Purpose 2: To expose everyone to the new content so that teachers will be more prepared to advocate for content knowledge refreshers at a later date.

  7. Compare and Contrast • Personally…do 2002 PLUS… • Reframing what we are ALREADY doing at EACH level • Pizza model • 10 minutes

  8. Compare and Contrast • Personally, we recommend just reframing what we are already doing at each level. 2002+

  9. Some NEW TOOLS • On screen calculator: TI 30XS • Calculator reference sheet • Formula sheet • Personal dry erase boards

  10. Assessment Target Activity Directions: Look at the 15 assessment targets of the 2014 GED Mathematical Reasoning module. Highlight trouble spots or confusing words in small groups. After 5 minutes, each table will report out to Amy and Lindsey, who will take notes to inform future content-based PD. Purpose: To FIND trouble areas, not to answer content questions

  11. Four Themes of the Change • Mathematical Practices • Four Content Areas • Number and Operation Sense • Algebra • Geometry • Data Analysis • Digital Literacy • Use of calculator • Item Types • Teaching at all levels now • Algebraic and Quantitative

  13. Four Themes of the Change • Mathematical Practices • Four Content Areas • Number and Operation Sense • Algebra • Geometry • Data Analysis • Digital Literacy • Use of calculator • Item Types • Teaching at all levels now • Algebraic and Quantitative

  14. Item Samplers: Where are the Themes? • What are the skills and concepts needed to answer the following question?

  15. Item Samplers: Where are the Themes? • What are the foundational skills that are needed to build up to these skills?

  16. Item Samplers: Where are the Themes? • What are the skills and concepts needed to answer the following question?

  17. Item Samplers: Where are the Themes? • What are the foundational skills that are needed to build up to these skills?

  18. Existing Materials • Do you feel you have materials that cover these things?
