Enhancing Math Learning Online: Prioritizing Student Outcomes
E N D
Presentation Transcript
Student Outcome When selecting and implementing the online resources, the student outcome should be the priority. • What WV CCRS are the students expected to demonstrate? • What Mathematical Habits of Mind are students showcasing? • What are the expectations placed on the students?
Online Resources List There are plenty of resources, but we will explore: • Open Middle • Desmos (Grades 6-12) • Virtual Manipulatives
Open Middle • Start with a “closed beginning” where students start with the same problem. • Could potentially have a “closed end” or have the same result. • The “open middle” means that there are several methods of thought to which a problem can be solved. • “Low Threshold, High Ceiling” type of question.
Example Use the digits 1 to 9, at most one time each, to create an equation where has the greatest possible value. Retrieved from OpenMiddle.com
Resource List Take a few minutes to explore the various resources. Think about the standards, the Habits of Mind, and student outcomes. • What one resource do you see yourself using or encouraging others to utilize? Why?
