Want to Engage Your Students? Engage Them in the Math Practices
It’s one of the most important questions math teachers ask every day: how do we engage students in meaningful, enjoyable mathematics? In this webinar for the Adaptive Math Learning community, presenters Zachary Champagne, Researcher at the Mathematics Formative Assessment Project at the Florida Center for Research in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (FCR-STEM), and Tim Hudson, former Math Curriculum Coordinator for Missouri’s Parkway School District, and DreamBox’s Senior Director of Curriculum Design, shared useful insights about the Mathematical Practices that will help deepen students’ understanding, enjoyment, and success in math class. Zachary and Tim discussed how to stop teaching ‘tricks’ and instead engage students in thinking like a mathematician. They also shared insights about the power of formative assessment, the importance of uncovering students’ intuitive thinking, and how technologies such as adaptive learning can support the Mathematical Practices. Topics included: understanding equality and precision, observing students engaged in sense-making, and designing learning experiences that empower students to “look for” important mathematics. Additionally, Julie Benay, Principal of Malletts Bay School in Vermont, shared how her school implemented DreamBox and the outcomes they experienced. View the webinar to learn how to make math more engaging for your students.

The document also provides several case studies with examples of lesson plans and problems that assess different mathematical concepts like operations, fractions, problem solving, and place value.
Blake Grade 2
The document discusses a Grade 2 math institute that will focus on place value using concrete and pictorial representations. It provides several case studies on topics like subtraction across zeros, fractions, and problem solving. The lessons follow a basic format of an anchor task, guided practice, and independent practice. Key learning theories that will be drawn from include those from Piaget, Bruner, Dienes, Vygotsky, and Skemp. Bruner's CPA approach and Skemp's classifications of understanding will be particularly relevant for using different representations to build conceptual and relational understanding.

2104 WSU Cutouts
This document contains instructions for cutting out numbers and mathematical symbols from a page. It includes numbers from 0 to 9, basic mathematical operators like + and -, and instructions to cut out the listed items. The document is repetitive, listing the same numbers and symbols twice.
2014 WSU Handouts
The document summarizes discussions from breakout sessions at the 4th Singapore Math Institute on teaching mathematics using Singapore's approach. It provides tasks and problems from Singapore classrooms related to practicing skills through problem-solving, using anchor tasks to structure lessons, and teaching geometry in grades 4-6. The goals are to emulate Singapore's emphasis on problem-solving and multi-step word problems to develop students' mathematical thinking.
2014 WSU Day 2
The document discusses strategies for developing and improving mathematical practices, such as using anchor tasks, collaborative structures, questioning techniques, journals, textbooks for reflection, and focusing on visualization, generalization, and number sense. It also discusses moving from concrete to pictorial to abstract representations, and using anchor tasks and challenging word problems to teach Singapore math concepts.
2014 WSU Day 1 Slides
This document discusses using a problem-solving approach to teach mathematics. It focuses on practicing problem-solving lessons and breaking students into groups to work on problems. The document provides resources for lesson plans and contact information for the speaker who advocates for integrating problem-solving into mathematics education.
Se01 abc's of singapore math through whole numbers
The document discusses the Singapore approach to teaching mathematics, which was developed to help Singaporean students perform better in math. It is based on Bruner's ideas of a spiral curriculum and using representations. The document provides 15 sample math tasks that demonstrate fundamentals of Singapore Math instruction, such as the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract approach. It also includes quotes from Bruner about revisiting basic ideas repeatedly to help students master structured bodies of knowledge.
Sd09 visualization
This document contains an agenda for a staff development conference on Singapore Math strategies with a focus on visualization. It includes 4 sample math tasks: 1) finding the area of a 4-sided polygon on a geoboard; 2) calculating leftover wire used to make a figure of 6 equilateral triangles; 3) dividing numbers by 3, 4, and 6; and 4) a word problem about Peter and Nancy exchanging coins to determine how many Peter originally had. The tasks are meant to illustrate ways to get students to visualize math concepts.
