Practical Practices for Parents, Students and Teachers Jeremy Centeno Ilea Faircloth Cylle Rowell
You would never hear someone say: I am not very good at reading. I can’t read.
You do hear people say: I am not good at math. I can’t do math. When I was a kid math was my worst subject.
What is the difference? The difference between the USA and other higher performing nations is that a culture of learning math is established from the beginning of a students career in school. Students are informed and taught everyone can do math.
What are the following? • Cryptanalyst $137,780/yr • Computational Biologist $150,000/yr • Mathematical Physicist $166,400/yr • Actuary $160,000/yr
The way we taught students in the past simply does not prepare them for the higher demands of college and careers today and in the future. Your school and schools throughout the country are working to improve teaching and learning to ensure that all children will graduate high school with the skills they need to be successful. In mathematics, this means three major changes.
Teachers will concentrate on teaching a more focused set of major math concepts and skills. This will allow students time to master key math concepts and skills in a more organized way throughout the year and from one grade to the next. It will also call for teachers to use rich and challenging math content and to engage students in solving real-world problems in order to inspire greater interest in mathematics.
Do you know…. The Mathematical Practices? Progression Scale Level 4- I understand how to help my student/child with the Mathematical Practices. Level 3- I know all of the of the Mathematical Practices. Level 2- I can state some of the Mathematical Practices. Level 1- I know there are Mathematical Practices. Level 0- I know there are Florida Math Standards.
Mathematical Practice #1: • Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
Mathematical Practice #2 • Reason Abstractly and Quantitatively
Mathematical Practice #3 • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
Mathematical Practices #4 • Model with Mathematics
Mathematical Practice #5 • Use appropriate tools strategically
Mathematical Practice #6: • Attend to precision
Mathematical Practice #7 • Look for and make use of structure CCSS
Mathematical Practice #8 • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
Number Bonds • Write the Words Funny and then Dolphin at the top of your sheet protector • Underneath each word write the total number of letters Funny Dolphin 5 7 2 3 7 2 + 10 = 12 What does 6+7=
Math StringsMental Math • The number of fingers on two human hands • Subtract the number of toes on one human foot • Multiply it by the number doughnuts in a half dozen • Divide by the number of eyes on a human face • Add to it the number of hearts in a human body • The answer is? 16
Find the Fiction • On your board write the number of the statement that is fiction and write the word fiction next to that number (DO NOT SHOW ANYONE) • Example: 4 Fiction • When you hear the signal word discuss with your group one at a time your answer. Come to a consensus
Find the Fiction • My number is 100. • I can be broken into 4 parts equally • I represent a millennium • My quantity in pennies is equal to a dollar • Answer: 2 is the Fiction • Praise: Expert Thinking
Word ProblemTake a Deep Breath! • Mr. Centeno had a fruit fly problem. • On day 1 there were two fruit flies. • On day 2 there were four fruit flies. • On day 3 there were six fruit flies. • How many fruit flies would Mr. Centeno have on day 5? • Answer: 10 • What was the pattern? +2
Repeated Pattern Activity Directions. Multiply the middle number by itself. Multiply the outer numbers to each other. Compare the products 5,6,7 3,4,5 6,7,8 What conjecture can you come up with? What is 29x31 and why? What would the Algebraic formula look like?
