  1. Math Instructional Block Jodi Redman April 23, 2013

  2. Objectives • Effective Components of Math Block • Strategies for Each Component • Connecting to the Standards for Mathematical Practice

  3. Article • “Math Takes Time” by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics • Text Rendering Protocol • Word • Sentence • Phrase

  4. Time… • Currently, • How much uninterrupted instructional time do you spend on mathematics per day? • What do you do during your time? Discuss in table group

  5. 60 minute math block • Introduction/Launch • Instruction • Guided Practice • Independent Practice • Closure • Application

  6. Introduction/Launch • Brainstorm in teams… • Warm-up • Review • Timed Test • Mental Math • Calendar Time • Meeting Time • Video (hook them in) How long should this take?

  7. Article • “Mental Math” by Marilyn Burns • Focused Reading • = Got it. I know or understand this • = This is really important information • = I’d like clarification or elaboration of this material

  8. Introduction/Launch • https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/third-grade-mental-math - Mental Math • https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/class-warm-up-routine - Warm-up While watching videos think about: • How could this apply to my classroom? • What mathematical practice standards are being addressed?

  9. Instruction • Brainstorm in teams… • Direct Instruction • Discussion • Student Directed Activity • Video Clip How long should this take?

  10. Instruction and Guided Practice • https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/multiplication-division-in-the-core?fd=1 • https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/counting-by-ten-lesson While watching videos think about: • What mathematical practice standards are being addressed? • How are instruction and guided practice alike/different?

  11. Guided Practice • Brainstorm in teams… • What opportunities are you giving your students to practice the skill/concept? • Activities • Stations/Centers • Pair Shares • White Boards How long should this take?

  12. A word About Centers

  13. Using Instructional Materials PREVIOUSLY USED… Attribute Blocks Balance Scale Base Ten Blocks Unifix Cubes Counters Judy Clock Links Ten Frames Five Frames Story Boards

  14. To Practice Authentic Mathematical Skills! Practice Practice Practice

  15. Other Thoughts… • Computer station • iXL • Online applets • iPads • http://www.appitic.com/ • http://ipadsinclass.weebly.com/math.html • Math Games • http://www.coolmath-games.com/ • livingmath.net/GamesMisc/BooksDiceCardsBoardgames • http://www.mathplayground.com/games.html • http://www.coolmath4kids.com/ • http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/math.htm

  16. 3-6 Math Centers/Stations

  17. Say Something • Work as table group • Read silently until the designated stopping point • When each person is ready, stop and “say something” (e.g. a key point or personal connection) • Stopping points • After big idea 3 • After big idea 7 • After big idea 10 • Don’t go through the step-by-step lesson

  18. Independent Practice • Brainstorm in teams… • How are you providing students the opportunity to demonstrate what they know about the skill/concept? • Homework • Performance Task • Activity • Verbal/written • Poster • Stations/Centers How long should this take?

  19. Closure • Brainstorm in teams… • Math Journals - writing • Questioning • Exit slip • Sharing sample work • Discussion How long should this take?

  20. Exit Ticket • https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/teacher-assessment-strategy • https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/texting-to-assess-learning While watching videos think about: • How could I use this strategy in my classroom? • How could I modify this strategy to use in my classroom?

  21. Sample Exit Ticket Something that squares with my beliefs Something still circling in my head 3 points to remember

  22. Websites for Texting • http://www.polleverywhere.com/ • https://cel.ly

  23. Application • How are you providing your students with opportunities to take it to the application level? • Are your students receiving opportunities outside the instructional block to see and do the mathematics?

  24. 60 minute math block • Introduction/Launch • Instruction • Guided Practice • Independent Practice • Closure • Application

  25. Great Resources • My math page - includes all the links below • www.wmisd.org/ge/mm- by grade level • Great Links for Searching by Topic or Standard • http://ccssmath.org/ • http://mathwire.com/index.html • http://www.protopage.com/lchambless#Professional/Kdg_Math • http://nsdl.org/search/standards/ • Math Literature Resources • http://sci.tamucc.edu/~eyoung/literature.html -

  26. Traffic Light • From our discussion today, what are you going to… • Stop Doing • Continue Doing • Start Doing
