Vision within enVision - Why are we making the switch?

Saxon Math was originally established by John Saxon in 1981. Since then, math instruction has changed and evolved with new technologies and expectations for students. Saxon will be going out of print in two years. Instead of waiting, Legacy wants to ensure the success of their students by adopting a new program to better prepare students for the necessities of today’s world.

Vision within enVision - What’s the difference?

Saxon Math

  • Focuses on spiraling concepts
  • Concepts are not grouped together
  • Teaches procedures of problems
  • Math becomes rote memorization
  • Supports concrete thinking
  • No online resources

enVision Math

  • Productive struggle
  • Multiple entry points for solving equations
  • Visual models
  • Three-concept tasks
  • Differentiation to meet the needs of all students: ELL, Enrichment, and Intervention
  • Concepts grouped together for complex usage
  • Online resources

Student Needs

  • Build mathematical literacy
  • Problem-solving skills
  • Discourse skills
  • Analytical skills
  • Progression of mathematical concepts
  • Opportunity to learn and explore

Vision within enVision - How does this relate to our mission statement at Legacy?

Our mission is to provide students with the opportunity to achieve academic excellence in an accelerated, back to basics, safe learning environment. enVision provides accelerated learning opportunities through encouraging problem-solving skills through problem-based learning. Back to basics will still be implemented through direct instruction and grouping concepts together to provide conceptual understanding from a basic level to an analytical, evaluative model. Teaching enVision Math provides a safe learning environment by encouraging students to work and learn together and make mistakes as they work through problems.

Vision within enVision - How does this relate to our mission statement at Legacy?

Our mission is to provide all students with opportunity, leadership, guidance, and support to achieve academic excellence in a safe, neo-traditional learning environment. enVision provides learning opportunities through encouraging problem-solving skills through problem-based learning. Leadership opportunities arise as students are able to work with partners or in small groups. Guidance from the teacher will still be implemented through direct instruction and grouping concepts together to provide conceptual understanding from a basic level to an analytical, evaluative model. Teaching enVision Math provides a safe learning environment by encouraging students to work and learn together and make mistakes as they work through problems.

K-5 Lesson Components

  • Each lesson in K-5 enVision should contain the following components:
    • Step 1 - Solve & Share (Problem Based Learning/Explore)
      • Provides students opportunities to create their own solution methods and models. The teacher introduces concepts with a problem-solving experience that activates students’ prior knowledge.
    • Step 2 - Visual Learning (Visual Learning Bridge/Guided Practice)
      • The teacher helps students connect what they saw in the Solve & Share to the important mathematical concepts of the lesson. Using enhanced direct instruction, the Visual Learning Bridge Animation, and a variety of engaging examples, students will examine multiple representations of new concepts to help them build conceptual understanding.
    • Step 3 - Assess and Differentiate
      • The teacher monitors student progress with a Lesson Quick Check, and then uses a variety of program resources to provide targeted differentiation to small groups. While working with small groups, the other students will work on a rotation of activities.

6-Geometry Lesson Components

  • Each lesson in JH enVision should contain the following components:
    • Step 1 - Introduction to the Lesson (Problem Based Learning/Explore)
      • Review objectives, introduces lesson with high-interest problem (new ideas), connects to prior knowledge, multiple solutions, collaborative
    • Step 2 - Examples (Visual Learning/Understand & Apply)
      • Students work through examples with the teacher, complete Try-its! while teacher monitors for understanding, review key concepts, answer essential question, teacher determines level of understanding
    • Step 3 - Practice and Problem Solving
      • Students work independently to build proficiency, higher order thinking, assessment practice. Each lesson also contains a quiz, which may be utilized in different ways in the classroom, and then differentiate instruction

11 of 23

Homework Expectations

  • K-5
    • Students should expect to have homework most nights, aside from assessment days
    • Homework will be from the Additional Practice Workbook
    • Should take 15-30 minutes to complete
    • Reviewed in class - Completion grade in GradeBook
  • 6 - Geometry
    • Students should expect to have homework most nights, aside from assessment days
    • Homework can be from the text or a worksheet

Mathematical Practices

  • Thinking strategies for proficient math problem solvers
  • Used and reinforced in each grade level of enVision
  • Students practice in each lesson and topic
  • Helps students refine and enhance thinking habits/skills
  • How parents can help:
    • Ask open ended questions (see examples)
    • Guide students, without giving specific answers
    • Apply questioning to other areas, besides enVision/Math

Standards for Mathematical Practice for Parents

​

Mathematical Practice Standard

What does this look like?

Questions to ask

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

  • Understand the problem
  • Find a way to attack it
  • Work until it’s done
  • Productive struggle

•What plan can you make to solve this problem?

•Can you draw a picture or act out the problem?

•What information is in the problem and what are you trying to figure out?

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.

  • Break the problem apart
  • Show it symbolically (pictures, charts, etc.)
  • Apply “math work” to the situation
  • Draw their thinking (with or without traditional number sentences)

•Can you explain what the numbers in the problem mean?

•How did you decide to use this operation?

3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

  • Talk about math
  • Use mathematical language
  • Support or oppose work of others

•How can we be sure?

•Is this like another problem you have solved before?

•How could you prove that….?

4. Model with mathematics.

  • Use math to solve real-world problems
  • Organize data
  • Understand math as it relates to their world
  • Use math in situations outside of “math class”

•What model could you construct that might help you solve this problem?

•Can you visualize the action in this problem?

Savvas BouncePages

When using BouncePages, the image is first uploaded with a back-end controller API. In slow connection low bandwidth environments, persistent "Matching content not found" or various timeout-related messages may occur. The success or failure is largely dependent on the upload speed. Environments with less than 2 Mbps may not be reliable for the BouncePages service.

​

BouncePages requires access to your camera and will prompt you to allow each time unless the browser's settings have the camera settings set to ALLOW.

​

iOS setting examples:

Settings > Safari > Camera > Allow

Settings > Privacy > Camera
