Modeling and Tools in the Practices EdWeb Webinar 10 April 2012 Sara Delano Moore, Ph.D. smoore@etacuisenaire.com
Standards for Mathematical Practice • Make sense of problems & persevere in solving them. • Reason abstractly and quantitatively. • Construct viable arguments & critique the reasoning of others. • Model with mathematics. • Use appropriate tools strategically. • Attend to precision. • Look for & make use of structure. • Look for & express regularity in repeated reasoning.
Model with Mathematics • Apply mathematics to solve problems in the real world • Make assumptions and approximations to simplify • Identify important quantities and map relationships among them • Interpret mathematical results in context and make adjustments to the model
What happens in school? • Elementary children writing mathematical statements to describe situations • Students using mathematics to summarize and interpret data in science and other fields • Students creating lines of best fit for data
Use appropriate tools strategically • Consider available mathematical tools • Know enough about tools to make informed decisions • Recognize strengths and limitations of tools • Identify and use relevant external tools, including technological resources
What are mathematical tools? • Tools for doing mathematics • Paper and pencil • Calculators & Spreadsheets • Measuring Tools • Tools for learning mathematics • Tools for doing mathematics • Physical Manipulatives • Technological tools
Using Manipulatives for Learning Mathematics Concrete Representational Abstract
Looking at Lessons • Should every lesson address every practice? • How is this practice addressed in this lesson? • What practices does this lesson highlight? • In what ways does this lesson highlight one or more practices?
