Teaching Math for Learning: Standards-Aligned System,

Secondary Mathematics, Year 2

Team Pierogi Head

Complete the team activity entitled Team Pierogi HeadBe prepared to share your poster and team name

Goals for Year 2

• Become familiar with a process for planning a lesson which includes thoughtful consideration of selecting and setting up a task, supporting students’ exploration of the task, and sharing and discussing student solutions of the task

• Utilize the PA Standards-Aligned System as a tool in lesson design

Algebra I Keystone Exams Assessment Anchors

• Review the assessment anchors and eligible content for the Algebra I Keystone Exam on the SAS portal

• How do these ideas relate to our year 1 academy?

Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content

Assessment Anchor A1.1.1.5

• Simplify expressions involving polynomials.

Eligible Content A1.1.1.5.1

The Case of Monique Butler

Read the Case of Monique Butler on pages 88-95 in Implementing Standards-Based Mathematics Instruction: A Casebook for Professional Development (Stein, Smith, Henningsen, and Silver, 2009)

The Case of Monique Butler

1. What issues was Monique concerned about in this lesson?a) What were the mathematical issues Monique was concerned

about?

b) What do you think Monique wanted her students to learn?

c) Were there any nonmathematical issues of concern to Monique?

2. What do you think Monique’s students were learning in the lesson?

a) Were they making connections between the area representations and the symbolic procedures?

b) Was Malcolm’s explanation at the end of class a good mathematical explanation ? Why or why not?

The Case of Monique Butler

3. How did the set-up of the task, both prior to and during the lesson, affect the implementation of the task?

4. What factors may have influenced whether students were making the connections Monique was hoping they would make?

a) Were there things Monique was doing to support or inhibit the students’ engagement in high-level thinking?

b) What were the students doing that might have influenced their own learning?

The Case of Monique Butler

5. What do you think Monique should do next? (Or if Monique had more time in the lesson, how do you think she should have responded to Malcolm?)
