Welcome! Your Guide: Paula Jones
Math Navigator • Deepens students’ knowledge of critical mathematics concepts • Closes the gaps in students’ understanding • Repairs students’ misconceptions • Develops essential mathematical practices.
Scaffolding Instruction Scaffolding is breaking up the learning into chunks and then providing a tool, or structure, with each chunk. —Alber (2011)
Components • 26 Modules • Teacher Edition • Show Me Cards • Student Edition • Study Cards • 30-45 minutes / lesson • 20 days / module
Math Navigator • Does NOT repeat initial teaching • Is NOT remedial in nature Instead the program focuses on…. • Revising misconceptions • Helping students reconstruct their conceptual framework
Math Navigator • uses students’ prior knowledge and focuses on and fixes misconceptions that students have developed • targets specific mathematical concepts—in particular those that cause students the most difficulty • takes an algebraic approach to reviewing arithmetic • creates a language-rich environment • does not just fill content gaps, but also teaches students to be better learners of mathematics
Six Principles of Effective Intervention • Targeted Concepts • The Algebraic Structure of Arithmetic • Prior Knowledge • The Language-Rich Environment • Better Learners of Mathematics • Instructional Support (America’s Choice n.d., 2–10)
Show Me The Show Me section • can be at the beginning or end of a lesson • uses Show Me Cards and questions • can be used as an informal assessment • 5 minutes • Note: you may not get through all the Show Me Cards

Probing for Understanding • How do students currently present their work? • What do you ask students to present? • What are the benefits? • What can you do to probe deeper into students’ thinking?
Probing for Understanding QUESTION
Questions to Probe for Understanding • Does that make sense mathematically? • Why does that make sense mathematically? • Why do you want to make ten? • Why can you change the order?
