  1. New Teacher Orientation 2013Kindergarten • Welcome! • Please sign in, take a cube and make a name tent using an index card. • Find a mathematical characteristic that you and your tablemates share. “Of students surveyed, 64% prefer English and 32% prefer math. The fact that these numbers do not add up to 100 may help explain why.”

  2. Describe your elementary math learning experience? • I did lots of worksheets, memorized facts and used very few manipulatives. • I remember using manipulatives to learn math in K, 1st and 2nd. • I solved problems with partners, in groups and on my own. • I could solve problems using any strategy or manipulative I wanted, was expected to explain my thinking clearly and justify my approaches.

  3. How do you feel about teaching Math? • I’d prefer someone else teach it. • I don’t mind teaching math but I’d rather teach reading. • I like teaching math. • Math is my favorite subject to teach.

  4. CMS Elementary math utilizes Standards Based Instruction What it isn’t What it is There were 52 boxes in the house and 39 in the garage. How many boxes were there in the house and garage? (share student work?) 52 + 39 First you add the two and the nine. Then you carry the one and put the other one under the nine. Then you add the five, three, and one… More or Less than 100?

  5. 52 + 49

  6. CMS Elementary math utilizes Standards Based Instruction What it isn’t What it is Students talk about the math they are doing Students use what they understand about number to solve problems Students share and analyze their own strategies with teacher guidance • Teacher stands and talks • Students memorize procedures • Students copy teacher examples

  7. Typical Investigations Lesson 1. Classroom Routines; spirals 2. Introduction; this portion of the lesson is used to introduce a concept (usually through an activity) 3. Activity(s)/Workshop; students are engaged in the math, teacher observes 4. Discussion; During this portion of the lesson, the teacher guides the discussion and students share strategies

  8. Typical Investigations Lesson Classroom Routines • What are they? • Where can I find them? • What are they used for? • Why should I do them? • How do they work in the classroom?

  9. Calendar

  10. What day will it be tomorrow?

  11. What day was it yesterday?

  12. Calendar Mix up!

  13. Calendar How many more days?

  14. Counting Jar

  15. Typical Investigations Lesson Introduction • What are they? • Where can I find them? • What are they used for? • What do I show them? • Where do they fit in the lesson?

  16. Typical Investigations Lesson Activities/Workshop • What are they? • What is the difference between the two? • What are they used for? • Why should I do them? • How do they work in the classroom?

  17. Tribal Counting two One three

  18. Workshop Roll and Record Counting Jar Build It

  19. 3 Keys to Successful Math Workshop • Organizing children for movement • Organizing materials for learning • Listening and observing for evidence of learning

  20. Organizing Manipulatives By Type By Group Pattern Blocks Yellow Group Pop Cubes

  21. Organizing Movement

  22. Keeping Track of what students do Students keep track of their work in a folder

  23. Keeping Track of what students do Kids “sign-in” and date each time they visit an activity

  24. LISTENING for a purpose! Purposes: to guide discussion to determine what students need to determine teacher-assisted groups to determine class needs to complete assessments

  25. Typical Investigations Lesson Discussion • How often do I conduct these? • Why do I conduct these? • What am I teaching during this time? • How do I decide what to talk about? • Do all children share?

  26. CMS Elementary Math Standards Based Instruction Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day! What it is Students talk about the math they are doing Students use what they understand about number to solve problems Students share and analyze their own strategies with teacher guidance
