MAKING THE CASE FORHOW THE NUMBERS WORK
Things to Think About:
• As educators we should be judged more by who we are than by what we know. Will Durant
• We can’t give away what we don’t have…And we are destined to give away what we do have.

PLICKERS• Are we satisfied with the current math scores in
our school, district, country?
• Do we want/need better math scores?
• With CCSS, the Standards of Mathematical Practice, and the Teacher Evaluation Rubric, how can we make sense of it all?
![Page 6: MAKING THE CASE FOR HOW THE NUMBERS WORK Things to Think About: As educators we should be judged more by who we are than by what we know. Will Durant We](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649dfe5503460f94ae5fa7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
TEACHER STANDARDS
• Quality Standard 1 – Teachers demonstrate mastery of…the content they teach, the elementary teacher is an expert in …math…
• Element C: Teachers responsible for teaching math• The Teacher: Focuses math instruction beyond:• Recall of facts, computational skills and rote
procedures• Balances conceptual understanding and
procedural fluency
![Page 7: MAKING THE CASE FOR HOW THE NUMBERS WORK Things to Think About: As educators we should be judged more by who we are than by what we know. Will Durant We](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649dfe5503460f94ae5fa7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
TEACHER STANDARDS, CONT.
• The Teacher establishes an effective mathematics environment by:
• Challenging students to think deeply…
• Requiring students to explain their solutions
• Posing questions/stimulate students’ curiosity…
• Actively engaging students…
• Using real-world examples for problems…
![Page 8: MAKING THE CASE FOR HOW THE NUMBERS WORK Things to Think About: As educators we should be judged more by who we are than by what we know. Will Durant We](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649dfe5503460f94ae5fa7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
TEACHER STANDARDS, CONT.
• …and STUDENTS:
• Solve problems in a variety of ways.
• Demonstrate mathematical thinking by explaining their thinking…
• Recognize when they make procedural errors and…correct them
• Expand their learning by using mathematical concepts in other subjects
![Page 9: MAKING THE CASE FOR HOW THE NUMBERS WORK Things to Think About: As educators we should be judged more by who we are than by what we know. Will Durant We](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649dfe5503460f94ae5fa7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
MY DESIRED OUTCOMES
• That today’s work will:
• challenge your thinking about math instruction
• refine your practices in math instruction
• provide you with new ideas, strategies, and resources
• enable your students to develop deeper understanding of the math you teach
![Page 10: MAKING THE CASE FOR HOW THE NUMBERS WORK Things to Think About: As educators we should be judged more by who we are than by what we know. Will Durant We](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649dfe5503460f94ae5fa7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
REFLECTIVE WRITING
• What are your desired outcomes from today’s work?
What are your best hopes, worst fears?
• Record them in your ½ Comp Book
![Page 11: MAKING THE CASE FOR HOW THE NUMBERS WORK Things to Think About: As educators we should be judged more by who we are than by what we know. Will Durant We](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649dfe5503460f94ae5fa7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
WARM UP
Respond in your ½ comp book first, then on the posters, then using PLICKERS!
• How did you feel about math as a child?
• What is the highest level of mathematics you studied?
• What do the results tell us?
![Page 12: MAKING THE CASE FOR HOW THE NUMBERS WORK Things to Think About: As educators we should be judged more by who we are than by what we know. Will Durant We](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649dfe5503460f94ae5fa7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
UNDERSTANDING• What do we know when…?
• What is deep understanding? In math?
Dewey cautioned that the practice of teaching without understanding damaged students’ ability to reflect and
to make sense of what they were doing. (1910)
Deep understanding is gained byREFLECTION and COMMUNICATION!

DOING SOME MATH
• A Lesson with Lance
When we memorize rules for moving symbols around on paper we may be learning something, but we are not learning mathematics.
Taken from, Making Sense: teaching and learning mathematics with understanding, (1997, p. 2.)
![Page 14: MAKING THE CASE FOR HOW THE NUMBERS WORK Things to Think About: As educators we should be judged more by who we are than by what we know. Will Durant We](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649dfe5503460f94ae5fa7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
DOING SOME MORE MATH
• Something to ponder…• What if you didn’t have any algorithms to use?
• The Inverses: +, - and *, /
• The Operations: 4 corners
• Using the Tools: composing and decomposing
![Page 15: MAKING THE CASE FOR HOW THE NUMBERS WORK Things to Think About: As educators we should be judged more by who we are than by what we know. Will Durant We](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649dfe5503460f94ae5fa7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
BREAK
Is our instruction enabling the understanding or inhibiting it?

POINT TO PONDER
Understanding breeds confidence and engagement; not understanding leads to
disillusionment and disengagement.

THANKS FOR COMING!
Students’ understanding is built up gradually,over time, and through a variety of experiences.
Understanding usually does not appear full-blown after one experience or after completing one task.
The primary goal of mathematics instruction is the development of conceptual understanding.
