Sequence of Activities • Pre-interview • Single Soma figures: Verbal task cards • Two-Soma assembly figures: Shaded and unshaded task cards • Geocadabra interface: Integrates top-view coding and face views • …
Reflection Questions: The Big Picture • What instructional strategies observed or shared in this presentation can be applied to any strand in a mathematics classroom? • How is literacy development addressed in the classroom shown in this presentation?
Verbal Description • Put the first block down • Place the second block in front of the first block • Place the third block to the right of the first block • Place the fourth block on top of the third block
Verbal Description Listen for and list the descriptive terms this student uses in his explanations.
Summary to Date • Verbal representation: Continue to emphasize verbal descriptions BY the child to assess accurate use of descriptive language • Semiotic representation: What is more difficult, code reading or code creation? • 2-D conventional figures: Reproduction of corresponding 3-D models and codes using 2-Soma assemblies
Closing Questions: The Big Picture • What instructional strategies observed or shared in this presentation can be applied to any strand in a mathematics classroom? • How is literacy development addressed in the classroom shown in this presentation?
