1. Situation 1
A housewife goes to a supermarket to buy grocery
items. At the dairy section she took the can of the milk that
is being advertised in the TV commercials to be creamy in
taste. Way back home, she found that the milk she bought
has less nutritional value than the other brands.
Situation 2
Rina learned that calcium is good for the bones and
can be derived from milk. She heard about the daily
calcium requirement that the body needs from a TV
commercial. With this information, she scout for the most
economical, creamy and rich in calcium milk at the grocery
store.

16. Mathematical Connections
and Representations
Making connections enables students to see
relationships between different topics and to
draw on those relationships in future study.
This applies within mathematics, so that
students can translate readily between fractions
and decimals, or between algebra and
geometry; to other content areas, so that
students understand how mathematics is used
in the sciences, the social sciences, and the
arts; and to the everyday world, so that
students can connect school mathematics to
daily life.
next
17. Representations are necessary to students'
understanding of mathematical concepts and
relationships. Representations allow students to
communicate mathematical approaches,
arguments, and understanding to themselves
and to others. They allow students to recognize
connections among related concepts and apply
mathematics to realistic problems.
next
18. All students will...
Link conceptual and procedural knowledge.
Relate various representations of concepts or
procedures to one another.
Recognize and value the relationships among
different topics in mathematics.
Use mathematics in other curriculum areas and in
daily living.
Explore problems and describe results by using
graphical, numerical, physical, algebraic, and verbal
mathematical models or representations. next
19. Apply mathematical thinking and modeling to solve
problems that arise in other disciplines.
Recognize equivalent representations of the same
concept.
Relate procedures in one representation to
procedures in an equivalent representation.
View mathematics as an integrated whole, which is
connected to past learning, the real world, adult life
skills, and work-related settings.
next
20. Explore problems by using appropriate technology,
and describe results by using a variety of
mathematical models and representations.
create and use representations to organize, record,
and communicate mathematical ideas;
select, apply, and translate among mathematical
representations to solve problems;
use representations to model and interpret physical,
social, and mathematical phenomena.

21. Experiential learning is the process of making
meaning from direct experience. It is learning
through reflection on doing.
framework
22. Constructivism is a theory of knowledge which
argues that humans generate knowledge and
meaning from their experiences.
framework
23. Cooperative learning is an approach to
organizing classroom activities into academic and
social learning experiences. Students must work in
groups to complete the two sets of tasks
collectively. Everyone succeeds when the group
succeeds.

• At the beginning of a unit, assess prior
knowledge & skills, & develop differentiated
activities to accommodate different knowledge
& skill levels.
• Provide students with open-ended questions,
activities, assignments that enable students to
give different but equally valid responses.
• Appeal to various modalities (e.g. present information
orally, visually, & in writing).
• Use a variety of resource materials (e.g. multiple reading
materials at different levels) to help students understand
a difficult concept.

• Accommodate students with different
learning styles by providing
opportunities for them to work alone and
in groups.
• Encourage students to develop their own
research questions for in-depth
exploration of a key idea or question.

• Allow students choices of products (e.g.
visual, written, oral) for activities &
assignments.
• Provide students with options for
demonstrating understanding through
various products and performances
without compromising the goals or
standards.

OO - How shall we oorrggaanniizzee learning
experiences so that learners move
from teacher-guided and concrete
activities to independent applications
that emphasize growing conceptual
understandings (sequenced to
maximize engagement & effectiveness)?

What is most appropriately and effectively
covered in a linear & didactic fashion?
• Present information in a logical, step-by=step fashion
(Teacher as tour guide).
• Follow the sequence of the textbook.
• Move from the facts & basic skills to the more advanced
concepts & processes.
• Expose students to a breadth of material dictated by
established goals.
• Use hands-on & other experiential activities selectively
because these can make considerable time.
• Teach & test the discrete pieces before having students
apply what they are learning.

What is most appropriately and effectively
“uncovered” in an inductive, inquiry-oriented
experiential manner?
• Begin with a hook and teach on an as-needed basis. Don’t
front load all of the information before application.
• Make the sequence more surprising & less predictable.
• Ensure that there are ongoing cycles of model, practice,
feedback & adjustment built into the unit.
• Focus on transferable, EUs
• Move back & forth between the whole & the parts rather
than teaching all the little bits first, out of context (Think of
sports, the arts, and vocational/technical projects.

• Activate prior knowledge.
• Clarify expectations and how learning shall be assessed:
standards; products/performances; criteria; tools.
• Hook and engage learner interest.
• Ask EQ; encourage learner questions; welcome tentative
responses as guide to further exploration.

• Provide variety of learning resources (books, videos,
readings/documents, web-based resources, etc) and
differentiated activities to validate responses to EQ;
process learners’ meanings and check these against
the EU.
• Encourage learners to reflect, revise, or rethink their
understanding.
• Check for understanding; provide feedback; check
