Components of Number Sense OverviewUnit 4

What’s the “Big Idea”? Multiple authors recommend that teachers utilize the

“Big Ideas” in their instruction. Generally authors present the “Big Ideas” as lesson

specific. Often lessons are disconnected from each other and / or

focus on one “Big Idea” for that lesson.

Big Ideas Revisited We use the “Components of Number Sense” to connect

every part of the curriculum in almost every lesson, thus, making our lessons more powerful and more efficient.

Outcome equals stronger teachers and stronger math students.

How does this fit with the NCTM?

The NCTM utilizes a strands curriculum The Components of Number Sense are

not in conflict with the NCTM strands. The Components enable teachers to

build true understanding of the mathematical strands.

This helps maintain and build connections for the way students think about mathematics.

Analyze the Lesson!

How is that each component of the Components of Number Sense gets expressed in the teaching of the lesson as we connect the language and build true mathematical understanding?

Story One

You have a dime (1/10 of a dollar) and seven nickels (7/20 of a dollar).

In fractional form show how much money you have all together.

Story Two

A team has two team members 3-point shots 1/10 and 7/20.

How did the two of them perform as a team ?

Just Do It!

Language and Math Language

Is math-language language?

How can we use some of what we do in reading instruction to improve our mathematics instruction?

Language

We have to teach math like we teach reading!

How is math exactly like a mystery novel?

Do we really try to see the BIG picture?

How does our chapter in the novel fit the whole story?

Two stories

You have a dime (1/10 of a dollar) and seven nickels (7/20 of a dollar). In fractional form show how much

money you have all together. Two team members record their 3-

point shots as 1/10 and 7/20. How did they do as a team?

Trashketball

The Power to Understanding Percents, Fractions and

Decimals

Let’s Try It!

Agreements How far will the foul line be from the

basket? Are backboards allowable? What else?

Demo with two players How hot is their shot as a team? Representing their stats

Trashketball Procedures

Team members rotate shots. After you shoot, you record your result. Return to end of line for your next shot Team Members stay positive with team

members: “Nice shot!” “Nice try.” “You’re getting better.” “We’re doing great.”

Stay humble with other teams: “Great percentage!”, “Thanks”.

In teams of four, play Trashketball.

PICTURE IT!

Bobcats Stats!

A coach can choose any one player to shoot “technical fouls.”

If you were the assistant coach of the Bobcats and your team had to shoot technical fouls, who would you suggest to the head coach to shoot the foul shots and why?

Language

It is all about the language---

“I have heard many People say, ‘Give me the Ideas. It is no matter what Words you put them into.’”

To this he replies, “Ideas cannot be Given but in their minutely Appropriate Words.”

William Blake(quoted by J. Newman, The World of Mathematics, 1956)
