TEACHING AND LEARNING SURVEY

When your table has completed the survey, please have a discussion on questions 3, 8, and 11.

We will be discussing the other areas at future sessions.

5 PRACTICE SCRAMBLE

In your groups:- Refresh yourself on the 5

Practices- Look at pages 7-12 for more help- Make a list of the 5 Practices and

characteristics to each practice

5 PRACTICE SCRAMBLE

In your groups:- Compare your list to the purple

list, how did you do?- In pairs at your table, cut our the

square teacher quotes- Match the quotes with a practice

5 PRACTICE SCRAMBLE

In your groups:- Compare your groups to the other

groups at your table.- Were any statements difficult to

categorize? - Did any of these statements give you

new insight into the practices? - Could any teacher comments be

placed in more than one category?

5 PRACTICE SCRAMBLE

In your groups:- Write one statement for each practice

that best summarizes your understanding of how to implement that practice.

- Be prepared to share!

This data is used to support our project… When you are done

complete MI Buff Problems

Proporti

onal?

…or Not?

P-18

Proportional?…or Not?

1.First, INDEPENDENTLY cut and sort the “cards” according to whether or not they represent proportional situations. 7 mins.

2.On the back of each card (or on scrap paper), present a mathematical/numerical explanation that “proves” your selection: proportional or not. 15mins.

3.Then, share out with your table. If you disagree on any cards, present your numerical “proof”.

P-19

For each question, decide which statements are TRUE. Explain your

answers.If you double one

quantity, you double the other.

The ratioFirst qty : second

qty is always the same

Speed, Time Speed : Time

SomeQuestionsGive reasons why it is important for students to recognize proportional relationships – versus those that are not.

What are key features of direct proportionality?

What are hindrances students face when they are unaware of proportional relationships.

What are common mistakes students make when solving proportions?

More Proportional Reasoning!

1. EACH PERSON AT YOUR TABLE SELECT ONE OF THE 6 PROBLEMS.(EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT PROBLEM)

2. SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM AS MANY WAYS AS YOU CAN WITHOUT USING THE CROSS PRODUCT.

More Proportional Reasoning!

3. FIND YOUR “STATION” GROUP AND DISCUSS THE STRATEGIES USED.

4. MAKE A POSTER DISPLAYING THE STRATEGIES YOUR STATION USED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

More Proportional Reasoning!

GALLERY WALK: QUESTIONS

Which strategies were used to solve more than one problem?

Could strategies used for #1 (for example) also work for another problem?

GALLERY WALK: QUESTIONS

Compare with the strategies you used to solve the sample problem (MI Buff).

What strategy do you find the most effective?

Which strategy is most effective with your students?

GOAL SETTINGWhat is one goal you would like to set for yourself from

now to the next session?
