  3. Research Reveals • Most math problems come from textbooks • Pre-service teachers have little exposure to • creating and developing authentic problems • The focus is on memorization and procedures • instead of reasoning and critical thinking • Understanding mathematics is directly connected • to the creation and exploration of questions

  4. Transitioning to the Common Core • 93% of teacher questions are knowledge • based focusing on recall of facts. • The National Council for Teachers in • Mathematics encourages teachers to • increase student participation by • “posing questions that elicit, engage, • and challenge student’s thinking.

  16. Try this instead I pay $50 per month plus $.05 per minute for my cell phone. What could be my bill for this month and how many minutes did I use?

  17. Try This There are 6 birds and 2 cats. If the answer is.. a. 20 b. 8 c. 4 What could the question be?

  18. Preparing Teachers and Students for the Common Core Curriculum • How can we team within the department to be more intentional about creating discourse? • Ideas and/or suggestions?
