WHAT WE LEARN

Developing the Behaviors of Mathematicians1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving

them.

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.

3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

4. Model with mathematics.

5. Use appropriate tools strategically.

6. Attend to precision.

7. Look for and make use of structure.

8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

HOW WE LEARN

Shifts in Mathematics InstructionBuild skills and understanding across grade

levels

Learn more about less

Work with numbers easily

Understand and apply

Use math in the real world

HOW WE TEACH

Why: What + How + Shifts

Changing ExpectationsRounding Decimals

Number TalkPARCC Example

An example…Procedural Conceptual

Find common denominators

Cross multiply(bow-tie,

butterfly, the x)

Compare to 1/2

Same number of pieces

Size of pieces

Concept + Procedure = Understanding Conceptual UnderstandingUsing the digits 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 make two three-digit numbers that when added together have a sum between 800 – 1000.

Procedural Knowledge

Resources

I consider myself to be great at math!

Let’s Begin With Ourselves

These ideas no longer have a place:

“ I was never that good at math either.”

“Our family just doesn’t have the math gene.”
