Week 6: Finding Evidence of Standards for Mathematical Practice in the Classroom

Thanks for your responses from last week. This week we are going to watch a video that shows some of the mathematical practices in action. Get your popcorn ready!

TOPIC FOR THIS WEEK:
Finding Evidence of Standards for Mathematical Practice in the Classroom

READING AND MEDIA:
1) Navigating the Mathematics CCSS, rest of Chapter 3 (p. 64-75)

2) View the video of Exemplary Lesson with Fran Dickinson’s 5th and 6th graders (it’s the video on the left).

THIS WEEK’S PROMPT:

  • PART A:  Fran Dickinson planned the lesson to include mathematical practices #3, 6, 7 and 8.  Give specific evidence of where you see these mathematical practices in the video.
  • PART B: The mathematical practices are not intended to be taught in isolation. How did Fran integrate the practices with the content standards in his lesson?

DUE DATES:

  • by Friday, April 26 Your initial response to the prompt should be posted.
  • by Tuesday, April 30  Revisit this site and respond to at least one of your fellow participant’s comments.

If you need help posting your comment, watch this video.

READ FOR NEXT WEEK:
Standards for Mathematical Practices Progression through Grade Levels (pdf)

Next week’s prompt will be posted on Tuesday, April 30.
