Teaching and Learning Mathematics Ways of doing Ways of thinking Habits of thinking
THE Rules of Engagement Speak meaningfully — what you say should carry meaning to others; Exhibit intellectual integrity — base your conjectures on a logical foundation; don’t pretend to understand when you don’t; Strive to make sense — persist in making sense of problems and your colleagues’ thinking. Respect the learning process of others— allow them the opportunity to think, reflect and construct. When assisting your peers, pose questions to help them construct meaning rather than show them how to get the answer.

Define Square Triangle Angle
True or False? A square is a rectangle.
But that isn’t the only possibility… • Some are based on symmetry

From the CCSS: Grade 3 3.OA.1: Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 × 7. Soucre: CCSS Grade 3.

From the CCSS: Grade 4 Source: CCSS Grade 4 • 4.OA.1, 4.OA.2 • Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 × 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations. • Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem, distinguishing multiplicative comparison from additive comparison.

From the CCSS: Grade 5 Source: CCSS Grade 5 5.NF.5a Interpret multiplication as scaling (resizing), by: Comparing the size of a product to the size of one factor on the basis of the size of the other factor, without performing the indicated multiplication.

Daro, et al., 2011. p.49 “In Grades 6 and 7, rate, proportional relationships and linearity build upon this scalar extension of multiplication. Students who engage these concepts with the unextended version of multiplication (a groups of b things) will have prior knowledge that does not support the required mathematical coherences.”
Perimeter What is “it”? Is the perimeter a measurement? …or is “it” something we can measure?
Perimeter • Is perimeter a one-dimensional, two-dimensional, or three-dimensional thing? • Does this room have a perimeter?
From the AZ STD's (2008) • Perimeter: the sum of all lengths of a polygon. • Discuss

Measurement What do we mean when we talk about “measurement”?
Measurement • “Technically, a measurement is a number that indicates a comparison between the attribute of an object being measured and the same attribute of a given unit of measure.” • Van de Walle (2001) • But what does he mean by “comparison”? Van de Walle, J. (2001) Elementary School Mathematics : Elementary & Middle School Mathematics Teaching Developmentally.
How about this? • Determine the attribute you want to measure • Find something else with the same attribute. Use it as the measuring unit. • Compare the two: multiplicatively. Measurement

Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. • Reason abstractly and quantitatively. • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning • of others. • Model with mathematics. • Use appropriately tools strategically. • Attend to precision. • Look for and make use of structure. • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. • Mathematic Practices from the CCSS/ACCRS
