  1. Critical Thinking in the Math ClassroomPresenters:Stephen Coddington Andrea HassellVictory Scott School Whitney Institute Middle School

  2. Introduction • Engage/Activate • Working on It • Reflect and Connect Agenda:

  3. What does Critical Thinking look like? Critical thinking in elementary mathematics: What? Why? When? and How? Critical Thinking in the Math Classroom.

  4. When does Critical Thinking Begin? Critical Thinking in the Math Classroom.

  5. Cooperative Learning Groups & Responsibilities Engage/Activate!

  6. Cooperative Learning Groups & Responsibilities Task A: Triangle Sort Sort the entire collection into three groups so that no triangle belongs to two groups. Give a description or name to each of the groups and record on chart paper. Once you have found one criterion for sorting. Determine a second. Engage/Activate!

  7. Cooperative Learning Groups & Responsibilities Task 1: Classifying Triangles The following shows how triangles can be classified according to some of their features: ANGLES, SIDES, SIZE

  8. Individual Activity. • Sketch a triangle in each of the nine cells. • Of the nine cells in the chart, two of them are impossible to fill. Can you tell which ones and why? Engage/Activate!

  9. Question to Help Student’s Share Their Feelings • What was easy/difficult for you? • How did solving this problem make you feel? • Do you feel ready to solve a problem like this again? Question to Help Student’s Reflect • What did you do well? • What difficulties did you have? • What did you learn by solving this problem? Reflect and Connect!

  10. The aim is to encourage children to think critically about solutions rather than focus on one “right” answer. Conclusion

  11. Critical Thinking in the Math Classroom STATE: • 3 things you learned from today’s PD • 2 things you are still unsure about • 1 thing you are TOTALLY confused about Closure Activity
