Math practices, mike rospenda 1
• students actually do math• use mathematics • using math knowledge• engaging in mathematical thinking• investigate situations with mathematics. • Actively Involved-in order to build
their understanding of mathematical ideas, to see the power and usefulness of mathematics in their lives, and to feel confident in their own capabilities as "problem solvers"
Math practices, mike rospenda 2
Actively Involved build their understanding of math to see the power and usefulness of
math to feel confident in their own
capabilities as "problem solver
Math practices, mike rospenda 3
To develop mathematical power Kids must believe that mathematics
make sense Math is understandable Math is useful to them
-Mathematical thinking is a normal part of everyone's mental ability
Math practices, mike rospenda 4
To provide experiences that stimulate students' curiosity
To build confidence in investigating, problem solving, and communication
To formulate and solve problems related to their world
Math practices, mike rospenda 5
To create their own way of interpreting an idea
To see how ideas fit with what they already know
To experience the enjoyment of a challenge, the excitement of success
Math practices, mike rospenda 6
Understanding mathematical ideas is far more important than how many skills they acquire
Devote less attention to telling students about mathematics assigning worksheets for computational practice and requiring rote memorizationEmploy activities that promote the active involvement of students in doing mathematics in authentic situations-
Math practices, mike rospenda 7
Use concrete manipulative materials regularly to build understanding
Promote exploration, discussion, questioning, and explanation
Learn the best methods for knowing when and how to use a variety of computational techniques such as mental arithmetic,
Math practices, mike rospenda 8
as well as reasonable paper and pencil process
Problem solving should be a process that throughout the curriculum and provides contexts in which concepts and skills are learned
Math practices, mike rospenda 9
Students and teachers create and apply strategies to work on and solve problems
To provide many opportunities to use language to communicate mathematical ideas
To discuss, write, read, and listen to mathematical ideas
Math practices, mike rospenda 10
To collecting data, make graphs and charts of their findings.
To give opportunities for reflective and collaborative work with others◦ This is a critical part of mathematics
teaching
Math practices, mike rospenda 11
Concepts of numbers, operations, computations, geometry, measurement, statistics, data, chance, and probability should be broadly defined, and applied.
Students must have many experiences in order to develop an intuitive sense of numbers and operations, ◦ a "feel" for what is happening in different
situations
Math practices, mike rospenda 12
When students construct their own knowledge of geometry and measurement they will be able to use their initial understandings in applied, real-world settings
Measurement concepts are best understood through actual experiences with measuring and estimating measures
Math practices, mike rospenda 13
Evaluation is there to help teachers better understand what students know and make meaningful decisions about teaching and learning activities
A variety of assessment methods should be used to assess individual students, including written, oral and demonstration formats
