Learning mathematics … requires understanding and being able to apply procedures, concepts and processes. In the twenty-first century, all students should be expected to understand and be able to apply mathematics. NCTM, Principles and Standards, 2000.
Mathematical Processes • The Actions of Mathematics • Ways of acquiring and using the content, knowledge, and skills of mathematics • Not new • Life long learning
Mathematical Processes Communicating Problem Solving “communicate solutions to problems in appropriate mathematical forms …” p. 20, Gr. 9 & 10, 1999 Representing
Mathematical Processes Communicating Problem Solving “- present solutions to patterning problems and explain the thinking behind the solution process;” p. 60, Grades 1 - 8, 1997 Reasoning and Proving
Expert Group Task • Select one of the Mathematical Process pages and meet the “experts” at the designated table. • Read the detailed description of your process. • Discuss and summarize your mathematical process by selecting one or two main ideas and incorporating them into the following: The important thing about is (process name) (insert a statement that captures the essence of the process).
“Save the Last Word” Return to your home group. • In turn, experts hold up their card for group to read. • The group discusses each process expectation. (1 minute) • The expert holding each process card has “the last word.”
Process Matching Game • Cut out phrases in each row. • Match each phrase with the correct Mathematical Process. • Paste into place on BLM 1.3b
Two things I hope to gain from this learning series. • The expertise I bring to this workshop. Reflection
