Introduction Marylandacademic support program

PART 1 • TEACHER’S GUIDE

Instruction

The Maryland Academic Support Program (ASP) for Algebra and Data Analysis is a complete,turnkey solution for improving educational performance. Topics are built around accessible corecurriculum ensuring that the ASP is useful for striving students and diverse classrooms.

This program recognizes that many struggling students aren’t reached by traditional “skill-and-drill” or strict test-prep approaches.

The ASP includes components that review, instruct as needed, provide practice, and assessstudents’ skills. Instructional tools and strategies are embedded throughout. The scope and sequenceaddresses the needs of students who require additional support in topics included in Maryland’sCore Learning Goals and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Standards.

This 3-ring binder includes:

• Over 120 hours of lessons with reproducible activity sheets

• A section on test-taking strategies and a collection of practice items

• A collection of hands-on and real-life activities for small group work

• A problem-based mathematics teacher’s guide that:

• describes the purpose of the materials and options for using the package

• provides pacing guide options

• recommends an assortment of graphic organizers for instructional strategies

• includes a collection of openers—to begin a class or to make a transition

• references relevant state standards

• supplies a series of appendixes for student reference

Purpose of MaterialsThe Maryland Academic Support Program for Algebra and Data Analysis is a flexible program thathas been organized to fit your students’ needs in credit recovery, evening, or summer school.

Each day’s schedule includes activities beginning with direct instruction and guided practice andmoving on to opportunities for developing and applying new skills and concepts in problem solvingsituations.

The 120-hour program includes all the major topics in the Maryland Core Learning Goals forAlgebra and Data Analysis. These include:

• Functions and Algebra

• Data Analysis and Probability

Problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, connections, and representation areinfused throughout.

Structure of UnitsNearly all of the instructional units in Parts 2 through 7 have some common features.

In each class session, you will present a topic. Some topics may be a review for students. Othertopics may be completely new to them. After some instruction, you will provide students withpractice activities to try. Students will have a chance to talk about how they completed their work.There are additional materials to use if you are confident that students are ready to extend theirlearning. If students need more practice or further explanation, you can provide them with that, too!

11.. TThhee GGooaall SSttaatteemmeenntt

Each unit begins with a brief objective of what students should know, understand, or be able do atthe end of the unit.

22.. WWoorrddss ttoo KKnnooww

Vocabulary terms are provided as background information for instruction or to review key conceptsthat are addressed in the unit.

33.. DDiirreecctt IInnssttrruuccttiioonn

This section is a guide for a teacher-led activity to review and/or instruct students on a specific skillor topic (activities are 15 to 45 minutes in length). Instructional strategies include lecture, modeling,discussion, group facilitation, and more. The activities may include the use of one or more of thegraphic organizers found in the Teacher’s Guide. This section frequently refers to presentinginformation on the board or via an overhead projector, and includes diagrams and sample problemsto be presented to the class in this manner.

44.. SSttuuddeenntt AAccttiivviittyy SShheeeettss

Each unit includes three or more lesson tasks and activities to support students’ achievement oflearning objectives. These sheets are written for the student. They can be used in any combination ofteacher-led instruction, cooperative learning, or independent application of knowledge.

55.. AAsssseessssmmeennttss

Each unit includes a review assessment to document the extent to which students’ grasped theconcepts and skills addressed during instruction.

OOvveerrvviieeww

Teams (pairs of students) will use positive and negative integer tiles to perform addition andsubtraction and to discover some properties of integers. Students will draw the tile operations ontheir worksheets and summarize their findings.

OObbjjeeccttiivveess

Students will

• discover the properties for adding and subtracting integers

• understand the concept of additive inverse

MMaatteerriiaallss

• groups of 20 tiles that are two different colors or that are marked with + and – symbols

• integer mats (on page 586)

• Pass out integer mats and positive and negative tiles for each pair of students. If tiles are notmarked with + and – symbols, choose one color to represent negative numbers and one torepresent positive numbers.

• You may wish to model the activity, or you may have each pair work at its own pace.

• The purpose of Activity 1 is to discover that adding a positive to a positive equals a positive.

AAccttiivviittyy 22

• Follow the same procedure as Activity 1, only this time students should discover that a negativeadded to a negative is always a negative.

Negative and Positive Numbers: Integer TilesAAccttiivviittyy 11:: AAddddiinngg IInntteeggeerrss

You will use positive and negative integer tiles to discover some properties of adding and subtracting. Each positive tile has a value of 1. To show the number positive 3, you would place 3 positive tiles on the mat.

= 3

To show negative integers you will use the negative tiles. Each negative tile has a value of negative 1. To show the number negative 4, you would place 4 negative tiles on the integer mat.

= –4

Try the following additions with the tiles and the integer mat.

When two tiles of unlike signs are combined, they form a zero pair. That is, their value = zero.

EExxaammppllee::

When you put the two together, they form a zero pair and cancel each other out.

When you combine positive and negative tiles, find how many form zero pairs and remove themfrom the mat. The tiles that remain show the answer.

Show the following additions with the tiles. Remove all zero pairs and find the answer.
