This document outlines the agenda and goals for a year 3 meeting of the Creating, Collaborating and Computing in Math project between the Riverside School Board and McGill University aimed at enhancing mathematics teaching and learning through technology. The meeting will include demonstrations of video lessons, sharing of research outcomes, and discussions on key themes of the project including digital literacy, professional learning networks, and using data to improve practice. Attendees will also reflect on the main topics covered over the past 3 years of the project.

6. CCC-M Project
Why this project?
 Student success in mathematics
 Focus on the transition from elementary to secondary
 Digital literacy
Goals
 Teachers, consultants, and researchers engage in on-
going, sustained professional learning
 For the benefit of student learning
 Using rich data to monitor and orient practice, inquiry,
and learning

7. 1. Cultivate a community of practice in mathematics
teaching and digital tools
2. Develop solutions and measure and evaluate the results
3. Develop practice of using digital tools for teaching and
learning math
4. Promote reflective practice and inquiry
5. Consolidate a long-term partnership between RSB and
McGill
Objectives

9. Strategies for Year 3 (2015-2016)
Objectives for Year 3 Strategies (examples)
1. Cultivate a community of
practice in mathematics teaching
and digital tools
Ongoing, active online interaction
(e.g., Edmodo & Vialogues)
2. Develop solutions and measure
and evaluate the results
Video-
based
Reflective
Practice
Student learning data &
Voices from students (e.g.,
Formative assessment)
3. Develop practice of using digital
tools for teaching and learning
math
ICT hands-on sessions at
F2F meetings (e.g., Plickers,
Padlet, etc)
4. Promote reflective practice and
inquiry
Regular, ongoing reflection
5. Consolidate a long-term
partnership between RSB and
McGill
Plans & Strategies for scaling-up

10.  Video capture of classroom activities
 Video-based collective reflection
 Mapping out “Learning Target” for students (Global
planning):
 Learning objectives / Strategies / ICT tools / Formative
assessment
 Pair work: Co-planning & Co-reflection
Activities in Year 3 (2015-2016)

11.  The evolution of a teacher professional learning
network for digital literacy and mathematics (Lei Nong)
 Facilitating online interaction and collaboration in a
professional learning network (Gyeong Mi Heo)
 Peer observation with collective reflection for
enhancing reflective teaching practice in a professional
learning network (Gyeong Mi Heo)
 Promoting collective teacher reflection through the use
of video clips of authentic classroom events (Leah
Dayan)
Research Outcomes

12.  Students’ group work, engagement, and discourse
 Strategies for reflective practice
 Facilitation of collective video-based reflection
 Video capture
 Students capturing video with iPads
 Interaction between students from different levels
 (e.g., Gr 6 & Gr 8 through Vialogues)
Next Opportunities

13. 1. Student success in mathematics
2. Digital literacy
3. Focus on the transition from elementary to
secondary
4. Professional learning network
5. Use of data to monitor and orient practice, inquiry,
and learning
Key Themes of CCC-M project

14. Objectives for Year 3
1. Cultivate a community of practice in mathematics
teaching and digital tools
2. Develop solutions and measure and evaluate the results
(More focus on Student learning data)
3. Develop practice of using digital tools for teaching and
learning math
4. Promote reflective practice and inquiry
A Key Activity for Year 3
Video-based Reflective Practice

15.  Flipping the classroom
 Math talk
 Formative Assessment
 3 problem solving strategies: working backward, error
analysis, modelling the problem visually (bar model or
other)
 Open questions
 Effective feedback
 Mathematical Mindset
Main Topics Over 3 Years
