Quote

“The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think -

rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the

memory with thoughts of other men.” ~Bill Beattie ~

Part II:

Cylinder Activity

Cylinder Investigation

Quick Write:

•What are some questions you might have about the two cylinders?

•Table share and then chart your questions.

Hamburger

Gallery WalkWhich questions would you like to

investigate?

Cylinder Investigation

Cylinder InvestigationIn your corners, take three minutes to talk about why you think your chosen cylinder holds the most.

•Chart your rational. • Be prepared to share why you think the one you chose holds

the most. Include reasoning for NOT choosing the other cylinder/s.

• What could you use to prove or disprove your hypothesis?•Explain why you selected your cylinder.

• Be prepared to share out, you will have 30 seconds to justify your stand.

Cylinder Investigation

What must be true, for your thinking to be correct?

If your thinking is not correct then what are the results?

Give it a Go!

Outcomes

•What happened?

•What did you notice?

•Why do you think that happened?

Cylinder Challenge

• Your group’s challenge is to use one sheet of paper to create a cylinder that would hold the most popcorn ever!

You have only five minutes!

Linking to Research/LiteratureConnections between Representations

Adapted from Lesh, Post, & Behr, 1987

Which of these

happened?

Linking to Research/Literature

Research has shown that children who have difficulty translating a concept from one representation to another are the same children who have difficulty solving problems and understanding computations.

Strengthening the ability to move between and among these representations improves the growth of children’s concepts.

Lesh, Post, & Behr, 1987

So what’s “The Big Idea?”

1. What were your behaviors?

2. What were the facilitator’s behaviors?

3. Identify which hypothesis was proven.4. What concepts and or skills did you use?5. How does this relate to the real world?

Part III:

FfT and CCSS Connection

Reflect

• How does this activity connect to the Frameworks for Teaching? Specifically components and elements for 1c, 1e, 3b, and 3c.

• What Common Core State Standards for mathematical practices were addressed?

• What Common Core Writing Standards were addressed?

Part IV:

Brainstorm, how does this

look in your class?

Head, Heart and Foot

•Head-•What are your thought?

•Heart-•What do you feel?

•Foot-•What will be your action?
