Identification and Analysis of 8 Math Practices

Name: Due Thursday, Sept 13.

The assignment could be done in a narrative format.

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. (the heading is the math practice)

(i, ii, iii, iv are the 1, 2, 3, 4 components from the assignment directions you need to respond to for each math practice) (I have listed a potential way to answer or begin to answer the component.)

i. Tell why it is important for students to make sense of problems and persevere in solving

ii. When students are making sense of problems, they will be… and as they persevere in solving the problem they will… .

iii. Teachers could help student make sense of problems by… .

iv. As a teacher I could have students think about a problem they had and how they solved it. For example, I remember a child seeing a child who was learning to skate on rollerblades. The driveway sloped down from the street and he was having trouble going uphill when he was first learning, so he would crawl out to the end of the sidewalk then stand up and he would begin to roll down the slope. He kept doing this until he could first skate down the slope by moving his feet then eventually he was able to skate back out to the end of the driveway.

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.

Math practice	What is the importance of the mathematical practice as it pertains to student learning.	Provide a minimum of two examples of what the student will be doing when they are demonstrating this math practice. For example are they thinking abstractly, reasoning, explaining, using concrete objects, analyzing, monitoring their own thinking, questioning, arguing, justifying, and making conjectures.	List a minimum of two methods the teacher can use to help students master skills when using this math practice. For example, graphic organizers, questioning, scaffolding, modeling, using concrete objects, construct, and deconstruct.	List one activity you could utilize for each math practice.
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.	It is important that learners…	One example is… . Another example is … .
