10.25.19 Advance Your Inner Mathematician (Session 4) #TrinityLearns

Selecting and Sequencing Student Solutions:

  • Purposeful Selection to Tell a Coherent Story
  • Challenges to face and take up 

Course Goals:

At the end of the semester, participants should be able to say:

  • I can exercise mathematical flexibility to show what I know in more than one way.
  • I can intentionally plan and teach using the 5 Practice Framework.

Session Goals:

At the end of this session, participants should be able to say:

  • I can select cognitively challenging mathematical tasks that align to the specified learning goal.
  • I can work independently and collectively to anticipate student responses.

Visual Patterns – Strength Mathematical Flexibility:
I can use and connect mathematical representations

Course Goals:

At the end of the semester, participants should be able to say:

  • I can exercise mathematical flexibility to show what I know in more than one way.
  • I can make sense of mathematical tasks and persevere in solving them.
  • I can work within NCTM’s Eight Mathematical Teaching Practices for strengthening the teaching and learning of mathematics.

Use and connect mathematical representations. 

Effective teaching of mathematics engages students in making connections among mathematical representations to deepen understanding of mathematics concepts and procedures and as tools for problem solving.
