shares

Head over to read to a greater extent than most it together with select grip of a gratis laid of problems.  

Welcome
If y'all are exactly joining us, it is non to belatedly to bring together our mass study.  Grab a re-create of the mass together with perchance a friend or ii together with jump inwards when y'all are ready.  Also, if this Dec is exactly to hectic for you, I volition live on starting about other mass written report the minute calendar week inwards January.  Read to a greater extent than details most both mass studies here.  

Here is the posting schedule for Children's Mathematics:
Dec 7: Chapters 1- 3
Dec 14: Chapters four & 5
Dec 21: Chapters six & 7
Dec 28: Chapters 8 - 10
Jan 4: Chapters eleven - 13

I volition postal service each Lord's Day morning time together with portion it on my Facebook page.  Please bring together inwards past times leaving a comment on my spider web log postal service or Facebook page.  If y'all cause got your ain spider web log together with desire to write a postal service most the mass that plant too!  Add your link inwards the comments department here.  Thank y'all to all who shared final week!

Chapter 8: Problem Solving every bit Modeling

To me, this chapter is form of the anthem to who I am every bit a math teacher.  I so strongly believe that kids larn best through occupation solving together with modeling situations rather than learning procedures together with so applying the procedures to solve problems.  While working alongside kids of all might levels I cause got seen that "Children who are progressing to a greater extent than slow than their classmates are meliorate served past times beingness supported inwards generating their ain models to solve problems than past times beingness taught problem-solving strategies that cause got no inherent pregnant for them together with but travel procedures to follow." One of the things that saddens me the greatest every bit a instructor is when I honour a fry who is so far removed from this feel making stance that they solve a occupation similar 300-299 using a procedure.  The fact that math has travel all most procedures to them is exactly a shame.  

Chapter 9: Developing Classroom Practice: Posing Problems together with eliciting Thinking

I scream upwards starting Cognitively Guided Instruction tin make the sack live on intimidating.  When teachers commencement run across CGI beingness done it tin make the sack await effortless but it sure enough takes a alter of practise for most teachers to acquire to that level.  Moving your classroom to i where kids are sharing strategies together with a make of ideas are celebrated sure enough takes about endeavour but is so worth it inwards the long run.  The might to know what problems to pose, how to unpack those situations together with how to inquiry kids most their strategies develops over time.  There actually isn't a incorrect means to create these things.  If y'all are novel to CGI, the hardest business office tin make the sack exactly live on getting started.

Chapter 10: Developing Classroom Practice: Engaging Students alongside Each Other's Ideas

I dear listening to students portion ideas most math.  I scream upwards it is such a vital business office of getting kids to educate a conceptual agreement of a topic.  There is so much might inwards hearing kids verbalize to each other most math together with to brand statements that compare together with contrast strategies.  I dear the ideas inwards this chapter most getting kids to scream upwards most other students thinking.

One affair that has made having students portion strategies easier over the final few years is the availability of document cameras.  When I read the commencement edition of this book, I had an overhead projector together with a modest chalkboard.  Now many classrooms cause got access to document cameras hence allowing kids to portion their run directly without having to re-create it to the board or a transparency.  While watching the video of Mr. Graces's class, I was thinking most how dainty it was that the entire course of written report of students could run across multiple strategies at the same fourth dimension together with how the kids who were non writing on the board were talking most unlike strategies acre they were beingness written upwards there.  I scream upwards I cause got gone a fighting to far away from this alongside using document cameras together with request to remind myself that the fourth dimension invested inwards having kids present their run on the board is valuable inwards itself.  I request to honour a meliorate residuum betwixt the efficiency of the document photographic boob tube camera together with the breadth of possibilities I acquire past times having multiple kids present their run on the board.
