Tonight’s Reflection

1. What are the 2 most important points you felt Dan Meyer made in his talk?

2. After discussing with your peers, now reflect on Dan’s talk and tell why his ideas are important to think about when preparing to tell high school mathematics.

3. Tell about a time you implemented something during a lesson that you think Dan would approve of – given his beliefs about teaching mathematics.

Send your reflection to mkestell@sympatico.ca marylou.kestell@utoronto.ca by 6 pm Wednesday April 6th

Theepika and Mariya need to be added

Theepika

Remember the purpose of the Tidbit…

• Some mathematics or some strategy for teaching it that puzzled you

• A neat application of some mathematics you can identify in the curriculum

• A mathematical resource that you value – with examples and explanations of how it would help one get ready to teach HSMath

• An assessment / classroom management / equity / social justice / etc. article that you have us process and respond to

• and so on…
