  1. PTO Meeting Tokeneke School Math in Darien Elementary Schools March, 2010

  2. A Few Key Messages About Needed Changes in Math Education Mastery of facts requires more than facts and procedures Students learn math with understanding Problem solving is not found in texts and requires experience

  3. Brain research tells us that in order to be successful, students have to see connections to the real world. The comparisons and contrasts to the world and experience are critical.

  4. We need to help children work on math as THINKERS and REASONERS.

  5. The ability to retrieve information matters very little if there is no ability to apply or adapt it. We can plant memory in two ways:

  6. 1. REPETITION: but you need to repeat it 4 times to get 48% retention or 24 times to get 80% retention 2. PROCESS-teaching in an authentic way that requires manipulation of a skill.

  7. Math learning must be connected to real life and be seen in contexts.

  8. Strategies for early addition 1. Add in pieces 8+4 8 +2 +2 16 + 12 16 + 10 + 2

  9. Group by place value 14 + 12 Tens together, ones together 10 + 10, 4 + 2 = 20 + 6

  10. Find easy sums 8 + 2 4 + 6 Make smart groups 29 + 29

  11. 5 x 88

  12. Is it easier to work in: 9’s or 10’s 4’s or 5’s 11’s or 12’s

  13. 85 + 65 + 35 + 15 + 75 + 25 7 x 10 x 8 x 10

  14. 8 x 4 x 3 x 250

  15. How do you know? 15 + 15 75 + 75

  17. Language Arts Instruction • Student Centered Learning • Now Math - • What are we working on?

  18. Math Continuum vs. DRA Assessment driven instruction

  19. Assessments • CMT • 3 times a year assessment to show growth over time • GWM assessments • Up close conferencing

  20. Once we know about our students as mathematicians we need to differentiate to meet the students’ instructional needs How is this done?

  21. How do we help teachers differentiate? Experience with GWM – 8 years Supplemental materials – Cathy Fosnot Units Greg Tang First Steps
