Learning Objectives

Teachers will …

  1. (HS.AEE.C.8) Construct a viable argument to justify a method for solving equations or inequalities. (the concept of completing a square is also linked to the standard “complete the square in a quadratic expression to reveal the maximum or minimum value of the function it defines”)
  2. Develop (or reinforce) an understanding of lesson planning and worthwhile tasks

4 of 32

Course Standards

Teachers will …

  1. Expand your mathematical understanding, your views regarding the nature of mathematics and mathematical activity
  2. Deepen your understanding of how students learn mathematics and how a teacher can facilitate the mathematical growth and development of all students through creating an environment that supports individual and collaborative learning
  3. Plan instruction that supports each student’s progress toward learning goals by drawing upon knowledge of content, curriculum, pedagogy, as well as knowledge of students and the community context

Math Lesson

Please do the following with your team:

  1. Review your list of team norms

  • Have each person get familiar with their role (see this chart --->)

  • Work on the problems as follows follows for 20 minutes (original problem set):
    1. Read the math problem you are working on aloud (all work on the same problem)
    2. Each person independently works on task for 30-60 seconds
    3. Each person shares their thinking about the problem

AND group members ask clarifying question, add on to,

or reason about the thinking shared

  • (Once each person has shared) Prepare to write a collective solution for 5-73

Math Lesson

Ask a clarifying question about the solution:“What do you mean by …?”, “Why do you think that?”, “Will you explain that again?”, “I have a question about …”, “I don’t quite understand. Can you explain it a little bit more?”, “How do you know your answer is right?”

Add on to the solution: “I would like to add …”

Reason about the solution: “I (dis)agree with your strategy because …”, “My strategy is like yours because …”, “My strategy is different from yours because …”
