Warm Up – Creating a “Math Most Wanted” List of Standards

04/20/234

NTAC 2011 Math Training Project Briefcase

Echo: NTN Math Problem Based Learning Course

Session Goals

• Create a “Top 10 Most Wanted” linking math content standards with problems/projects.

• Calibrate ourselves to the onslaught of information• Collaborate to develop curriculum maps with what

we’ve learned this week:• Problem Based Learning• Formative Assessment• Math Literacy

• Examine sample PrBL Unit & download PrBL Unit template to our Echo course

• Share curriculum maps with like-content area• Workshops as needed

Problem Based Learning

A potentially useful mode of instruction that :• immediately and apparently engages student in math content deeply• maintains fidelity to your SWLO

Formative Assessment Lessons (Modules)An available set of activities that promote best teaching practices in math, including: • Questioning techniques• Managing group work• Student analysis of student work• Aligns with common core

Literacy in the Math Classroom

• Every Problem Unit or Project must have a literacy task and associated scaffolding.

The goal

Curriculum Map Sample and Template

Identify Standards •Think outside the box of your traditional pacing guide

•What standards might fit together in a real world setting?

•Choose some standards you want to start with, maybe some that you already have a problem idea for

•If you’re drawing a blank, this might help…

Remember: This is NOT set in stone. You are brainstorming, gathering and processing ideas.

Potential Action Items for the rest of our time hereStart here: in groups of 3-5 discuss the math concept

you shared to the google formAfter that, you may wish to….• Begin work on a curriculum map for a unit, work

collaboratively

• Continue your discussion on problem ideas with your table

• Small group workshops on any or all of the initiatives Today and going forward: post in the Echo Discussion
