  5. Defining Rigor

  6. Math Teachers Beware! Evaluate. Let x = 2 and y = -3 3xy-12y2 Although the word evaluate is located at a level 6 on the knowledge taxonomy, this question does not require students to think at a high level. This question is a traditional “plug and chug” exercise.

  7. Another Caution for Math Teachers Content Knowledge When teaching concepts and skills to students for the first time, it is important to remember that what is easy for the teacher is challenging to the student

  8. Math Relevance at Grade 3

  9. Algebra Relevance

  15. In a recent report from the Raytheon Company it was reported that 84% of middle school students would rather clean their rooms, take out the garbage, or go to the dentist than do their math homework.

  16. Traditional, lecture-based classrooms are no longer adequate to prepare students for a highly technological society.

  17. Learners in the 21st century need to be captured through interactive experiences.

  18. The Rigor/Relevance Framework D C Evaluation 6 5 4 3 2 1 create a formula spreadsheet with recipe ingredients that increase or decrease according to number of people feeding. solve multiplication and division problems using multiple strategies and justify the procedures selected K N O W L E D G E T A X O N O M Y Synthesis Analysis A B Application triple your recipe for 12-15 cookies and distribute evenly among your classmates. recall basic multiplication facts and corresponding division facts Understanding Awareness 1 2 3 4 5 Apply across disciplines Apply to real world predictable situations Apply to real-world unpredictable situations Knowledge Apply in discipline APPLICATION MODEL

  19. The Rigor/Relevance Framework D C Evaluation 6 5 4 3 2 1 derive the special right triangle relationships (i.e. 30-60-90, 45-45-90) build a scale model of a tree design for the Urban Art project and prove how you ensure it will remain stable in the outdoors K N O W L E D G E T A X O N O M Y Synthesis Analysis A B Application determine the length of ladder needed to reach an upstairs window 25 ft above ground safely. state the Pythagorean Theorem and plug in the values for the variables given a triangle.

  21. County Updates – Your turn • Quantile Professional Development • Other Mathematics PD taking place in your county • Questions and Comments

  22. Wiki Assignment Go to http://wiki.k12.wv.us/cmlt/doku.php?id=countymlt Answer the following: List mathematics professional development or technical assistance that your leadership team has provided to your county during the 2008-2009 school year. If you are not providing leadership in mathematics to your county, what obstacles do you have (time, money…)? We will be mailing the book “Mind Set” with a book study guide for your use. Please record one address on the wiki site for us to send the books to your county.
