  2. Elements of the Comprehensive Mathematical Model • Components of Mathematics • Math Model Examples • Principles of Mathematics • Descriptors • Best Practices • Self-Reflection Survey • Resources

  3. Components • Problem Solving • Reasoning and Proof • Communication • Connections • Representation

  4. Problem Solving • Unless students can solve problems, the facts, concepts and procedures they know are of little use. • Example I have four pennies, four dimes, and four nickels in my pocket. If I take three coins out of my pocket, how much money could I have taken?

  5. Reasoning and Proof • Mathematics should make sense to students • Example (Using the same money problem) I took 30¢ out of my pocket. Which coins did I take out of my pocket? Provide evidence of your answer and share in some type of group setting.

  6. Communication • An important step in communicating mathematical thinking to others is organizing and clarifying one’s ideas. • Example If I take three coins out of my pocket, could I have 24¢? Explain with words or pictures how you solved the problem.

  7. Connections • Students build new understandings on previous knowledge • Students build new understandings between mathematics and other subject areas • Students build new understandings between mathematics and every-day life. • Example List how many ways you might use money. Discuss why it is important to know how much money you have.

  8. Representation • Students can develop and deepen their understanding of mathematical concepts and relationships as they create, compare, and use various representations. • Example Make a graph of the class solutions and ask students to analyze the data.

  9. Questions to Foster Mathematical Understanding • “Does anyone have the same answer but a different way to explain it?” • “Can you convince us that that makes sense?” • “Can you model that to prove your thinking?” • “Does that always work?” • “How does this relate to …?” • “Can you give us an example of …?”

  10. Principles of Mathematics • The Equity Principle • The Curriculum Principle • The Teaching Principle • The Learning Principle • The Assessment Principle • The Technology Principle

  11. Self-Reflection Survey • Individual reflection • Based on Best Practices of the Principles of Mathematics

  12. Resources Web sites used in OCSD classes Principles and Standards for School Mathematics - NCTM
