  1. What do mathematicians do?

  2. Agenda • Connected Math • Math Anxiety • Math Literacy • Buying a Car • Curriculum Review

  3. So Why Connected Mathematics? • Aligns with high school resource, Core-Plus • Supported by NCTM and NSF • Has been awarded numerous awards, including from the US Dept of ED for “exemplary curriculum” • Follows an investigative approach to mathematics to build conceptual understanding of math topics that leads to a rich and connected understanding of math • Students are reading, writing, thinking, and talking in every class, every day – CIF is built in throughout

  4. Analyzing Graphs • 6th Grade – Variables and Patterns • Problem 1.2 - C • Problem 1.3 • ACE #10, 11, 12, 21 www.graphingstories.com Graphing Points

  5. Thinking With Mathematical Models • Problem 2.3

  6. Say It With Symbols • Problem 3.1

  7. It’s In the System • Problem 1.2

  8. Math Anxiety • Read the article • Text Rendering Protocol: Highlight a paragraph, sentence, and a word that sticks with you from this article – we will be sharing these out

  9. Literacy • How can we help students read math word problems when they can’t even read basic word problems? • Key words are not the answer • So what in the world is the answer?

  10. Some Solutions • Have explicit lessons on reading math word problems, could be whole lesson, warm-up, etc., not just at the end of the year • Team teaching with English teacher • Must teach them how to illustratewhat is happening; how the vocabulary plays together and how we can represent that • Organizers with vocab, mathematical definition, everyday language definition, and visual • Partner rephrasing

  11. More Solutions • Practice rewording questions • Read problems a few times before beginning to solve • Highlight (determine goal) and rewording – they can use highlighter on EOG if they have been practicing using it in class • Menu of Mathematical Strategies • Others?

  12. Math Activities • Buying A Car

  13. Last Minute Notes • K-8 Standards Review • Calculator Use • SchoolNet

  14. Curriculum Guide Review • YAAG • Unit Overview • In Depth Curriculum Guide
