Math CAMPPP 2012 The Hunt Continues K-4 Breakout Four 1
Learning Goals: Participants will: • explore multiple-group problems and the use of a number line to represent fractions • identify ways to build more purposeful assessment for learning opportunities into instruction • increase understanding of the use of learning goals
Minds On: Walk the Line • You will each receive a card with a fraction represented as a picture, a number, or words. • Arrange yourself in order along the number line.
Minds On • What did you observe while you were collectively solving this problem? • How would you “morph” this to do it in your classroom? • How does using various models and allowing students to negotiate their position on the number line facilitate their understanding of both number lines and the size of fractions?
Action • In a group of four, identify who will be A, B, C, and D
Action • In a group of four, identify who will be A, B, C, and D • A and B will be doing some problem solving • C will be writing down observations of what the pair are doing • D will be scribing as much as possible of what A and B are saying, and asking questions to clarify
The Problem • How would you share 3 brownies between 4 children?
From Growing Success • “Teachers will obtain assessment information through a variety of means, which may include formal and information observations, discussions, learning conversations, questioning, conferences…”
Action: Pair, Square • Partner A and C will join with partner B and D from another group. Partner A will bring the chart paper from the group. • Each person will record their own notes from the following group discussion.
Action: Pair, Square Discuss the following: • What information could you assess through observation? • What questions could you ask of students to assess understanding (conversations)? • What could you learn about the “students” from the student work?
Consolidation • Group discussion
Reflection: For those who are willing to make an effort, great miracles and wonderful treasures are in store. Isaac Bashevis Singer
