Content goals: The goals this week are for you to
Format and structure of the math standards:
Videos to watch:
1.** Introduction to the Standards
2.** Content Standards
3.** Process Standards
**Note, the numbers of the videos refer to the video numbers on your
DVD. If any video takes a long time to load, or is sluggish
(skips and jerks), you may want to watch it from the DVD rather than
over the internet connection.
Readings: Summary of things to know about Math Standards
Assignment 1:Worksheet about the Standards. (type your answers in, and upload your assignment to the appropriate drop box in D2L) May27
Resources: Links to Standards documents
Process standards: Note that I am using the NCTM standards as my reference when talking about process standards. This is because all the process standards are covered in somewhat more detail in the NCTM standards than in the Wisconsin standards, so that makes the NCTM standards a good place to learn about what the goals and ideas are of the process standards.
Videos to watch:
First watch The Wheel Problem which is # 14 in the Teaching Math Video Library K-4 at http://learner.org/resources/series32.html You will be asked to sign up for a free membership to be able to watch videos on this site.
Readings: Then read my commentary on the process standards and the Wheel Problem (I tried to record videos, really I did, but it all sadly failed...)
Assignment 2: May 27
Either watch the video lesson: # 16: This Small House in the Teaching Math Video Library K-4 at http://learner.org/resources/series32.html
OR
Read the lesson Exploring Halves from the Math Solutions issue 29 newsletter
Then write an analysis of the lesson telling what process standards are used in the lesson. (Upload your assignment to the appropriate drop box in D2L).
- I have hand-picked these lessons to be ones that meet some process standards.
- You don't have to address every standard or claim that the lesson meets every standard (the Wheels Problem was unusual in that way).
- You should find at least two process standards that are met in the lesson.
- You should tell me not only what process standards are met, but which sub-goals of those standards are met, and what children are doing in the lesson that fits with that sub-goal of the standard.
Stages and understandings for counting:
Videos to watch:
Watch the first half of my video on early number concepts--paying attention to the stuff about counting. We'll come back to subitizing in week 3, so we'll re-watch the video then, paying attention to the stuff about subitizing: 4. Early number concepts
Watch 5. this clip of my son counting, and read my comments about counting
Assignment 3: Math Buddies which is # 3 in the Teaching Math Video Library K-4 at http://learner.org/resources/series32.html
Answer these questions (type your answers in, and upload your assignment to the appropriate drop box in D2L)
