This project involves the preparation and implementation of four interactive math sessions for 3rd and 4th grade students at Sacred Heart Elementary School, scheduled for March 31, April 7, April 21, and April 28. Participants will also complete reflective journal entries and conduct two observations of math lessons in public schools (grades 1, 2, 3, and 4, 5, 6). Each session focuses on different teaching strategies, with an emphasis on student engagement and understanding. Reports will compare classroom observations with NCTM's standards on learning environments.

Math Field Component 1. Preparation and implementation of four sessions at Sacred Heart Elementary School (3/31, 4/7, 4/21, 4/28) 301 N.Burgher Avenue You will be assigned a child(ren) from either grade 3 or 4. 2. Reflective journal entries for each session at Sacred Heart Elementary School 3. Two observations of a math lesson at a public school (one in grade 1, 2, or 3 and one in grade 4, 5, or 6) 4. Report for each observation at a public school
Sessions • At beginning of each session, engage in “Today’s Date.” • Session 1 • Guess My Rule • Which One Doesn’t Belong? • Basic Facts Book and Story Book • Session 2 • Attribute Piece Puzzle • Barnyard Story • Roads To Reasoning and Assessment Using Rubrics • Session 3 • Lesson Plan you craft (Fractions) • Session 4 • Function Machine • Game that you design (Team Teaching)
Journal Entries • 1. What did you do? • 2. What went well? • 3. What would you do differently and why? • 4. What questions did you pose? • 4. What were some of the student responses and what did their responses tell you about their thinking/understanding of the topic?
Observations • Review the material on the following website concerning the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics’ Teaching Principle concerning the mathematics learning environment. • http://my.nctm.org/standards/previous/ProfStds/TeachMath5.htm • If link does not work, please refer to file on St. John’s Central entitled” Mathematics Learning Environment.”
Observations (continued) • Write a report for each of the two observations including: • A description of your observation • Place • Grade • Class characteristics • A discussion comparing and contrasting what you observed in the classroom with the vision provided in NCTM’s Learning Environment Standard concerning: • Time • Physical Space and Materials • Context • Respect and Value for Students’ Ideas
