A majority of what we do in the class room has been picked up through our years of attending workshops, conferences, and internet searches.
We have modified to fit the needs of our teachers and school.
We thank all of you who contributed by allowing us to take and extend your ideas.
The structure of your class and how you teach will guide your students in one of two ways:
Motivated to learn more
Mayhem with little learning taking place
Motivation is a positive tool.
Mayhem is chaotic!
High Expectations
Aligned Department: Horizontal & Vertical
Rubrics/Effort
4 step problem solving plan
Math Class Daily Agenda with music
Benchmarks/Tests
Differentiated Instruction
High expectations for Math students prepare them for a successful adult life
Learn AND UnderstandResponsibilityTeam Work Giving up is not an optionZeros are not an optionBelieve they can do anything
• Worked with 4 other districts to create an aligned curriculum to the TEKS
• Spiraled Curriculum–Do NOT teach in order of TEKS
• Horizontal & Vertical Alignment• NO shortcuts are taught• Secret Pals
• Students use rubrics to analyze their work
• Every assignment/test has effort built into the rubric
• When the best effort is given, students will be successful
Problem solving is a big part of the math class
Must Follow 4 step plan on benchmarks/tests, Weekly Assignments, & POTW (problem of the week)

Four figures have the following dimensions:
Rectangular prism: l=2 in; w=4 in; h=7 inCylinder: r=4 in; h=6 inCone: r=4 in; h=6 inRectangular pyramid: l=2 in; w=4 in; h=7
in1. What is the probability that a figure chosen
at random will have a volume greater than 150 cubic inches?
2. Two figures are pulled one at a time. After you pull the first time, you do not replace. What is the probability both figures will have a volume less than 125 cubic inches?
3. Calculate the mean of the volumes.

A cardboard box has the following dimensions: 7.5 ft, 3 ft, 4 ft
How many cubic feet of material will the box hold?
What is the volume?
To calculate the amount of cubic feet, I need to find the volume. The figure is a rectangular prism. To calculate the volume of a rectangular prism, I found the area of the base. The base is a rectangle, so I multiplied the length by the width. I multiplied the area of the base by the height of the prism.
A cardboard box has the following dimensions: 7.5 ft, 3 ft, 4 ft. How many cubic feet of material will the box hold?
The volume is 90 cubic feet.

Speed Test1. Get out a dry erase marker.2. You have 1 minute to complete as many problems as you can.3.We will grade in 1 minute.4. Graph your results. Keep the graph in your notebook.5. We will do this every day.
Problem of the Week
#5-21. You have 5 minutes to work on the
problem of the week.2. The problem of the week must follow
the Read, Think, Solve, Justify format.3. When you are finished, turn it in.4. It is due Friday.
Common Assessments: every grade level open ended questions, multiple choice, essay
Benchmarks: STAAR format
Every 6 weeksAligned with current scope and sequenceReleased TAKS questions (modified questions to include multi step and extra info)Comprehensive
Mathematics concepts are presented in various formats to accommodate diverse learning styles in order to help each child reach his/her full potential.
Student teaching, Hands on, technology, microphone
Students help teach other students
Students are up at the board or Elmo presenting their problem(s) to the class
Students explain in detail what they did to solve the problem and why
Students journal: paper or electronic (I use a class wiki)
Students get hands on experience in solving math problems when they use manipulatives
Examples include: algebra tiles, cuisenaire rods, blocks, dice, base ten blocks, number lines, and other visual aids
Grid paper allows for a better understanding of size and proportion
Students learn that drawing a picture is a very helpful tool that allows them to see what is occurring
Encourage creating tables to model patterns
Computers Data projectors Document camera (Elmo)Graphing calculatorsCPS
Online quizzesInternet ResearchReal life application projectsVirtual manipulativesVisits to various math websites Microsoft Office applications
