Facilitated by:
Pam KrambeckDebbie Schraeder
Descriptor: Focusing on the content area of math, participants will connect with the K-12 scope and sequence literacy map for mathematics from the Partnership for 21st Century Skills with the newly adopted math standards. Ideas and activities for integrating 21st Century Skills into the math curriculum will be shared.
Activities will include an overview of the 21st Century Skills, connecting 21st Century literacy maps to the math standards, and activities that utilize on-line math and collaboration tools. Participants will work through four math activities that address the 21st Century Skills of: * Information and Media Literacy * Communication * Critical Thinking and Systems Thinking * Problem Identification, Formulation & Solution * Creativity and Intellectual Curiosity * Collaboration

20th Century Education Model

• No – but bring curriculum and instruction into line with modern world.– Emphasis on collaboration– Emphasis on problem solving– Students need to apply what they have learned in the
real world.
• “Kids learn better this way than with the old ‘chalk and talk’ approach!”
Will Teachers Become Obsolete?
“This is a story about the big public conversation the nation is not having about education… whether an entire generation of kids will fail to make
the grade in the global economy because they can’t think their way through abstract problems, work in teams, distinguish good information from bad, or speak a language other
than English.”

Student Benefits- Writing in Math:
Solidifies learning
Helps students make connections
Encourages critical thinking
Encourages higher-level thinking
Reliable means of assessing what students actually know
Real life implications
Tools of Classroom TalkThe following are five main “talk moves” or strategies to develop mathematical conversations in your classroom:
•Revoicing
•Asking students to restate someone else’s reasoning
•Asking students to apply their own reasoning to someone else’s
•Prompting students for further participation
•Using wait time

Types of Writing in Math
•Keeping Journals or Logs
•Solving Math Problems
•Explaining Mathematical Ideas
•Creative Writing in Math
•General Writing Assignments
1. Listen to the “Welcome” to the global village.
2. As a group we will be learning more about our global village.
What you find out may surprise you!
