MATH 90 CURRICULUM RENEWAL
& MATH MAKES SENSE 9
WORKSHOP
January 28th, 2010
Prayer
Heavenly Father, remind us each day that,
of all the gifts you give us, the greatest
gift is love. It is not enough to share that
love with those we hold dear. Open our
hearts not just to those who are close to
us, but to all humanity. Let us be slow to
judge and quick to forgive; show
patience, empathy and love. Amen.
Goals for this Session:

tics/ccf.aspx
According to the WNCP, the critical components
students must encounter in a mathematics program
are: communication, connection, mental math and
estimation, problem solving, reasoning, technology,
& visualization.

How can we promote deeper understanding and
incorporate inquiry learning in the mathematics
classroom.?
“BELIEVE IN KIDS!
GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SOLVE PROBLEMS AND MAKE SENSE
OF MATHEMATICS. YOU DO NOT
NEED TO TELL THEM EVERYTHING.
KIDS ARE AMAZING!”

The Lesson Model
Investigate
l
Reflect &
Share
Connect
Discuss the
Ideas
Practice
The Lesson Model
1. Investigate – brief problem-solving
activity designed to draw out prior
knowledge and stimulate student
interest
Reflect and Share – allows students to
make connections and develop
mathematical reasoning skills
The Lesson Model
2. Connect – presents new problems and
instruction to teach the math concepts.
Involves a range of examples.
Discuss the ideas – opportunity for
students to communicate their
understanding of the concepts
The Lesson Model
3. Practice – progressively challenging
range of problems
Assessment Focus Question – allows
students to demonstrate their level of
achievement
Take it Further – extension questions
Reflect – opportunity for students to
communicate/summarize their
understanding
Math Makes Sense Overview
ProGuide Structure to Support Teachers:
 Before – Getting Started: Teachers should activate
prior knowledge using the introduction to the lesson
and key questions. Present the problem in the
investigate and ensure expectations are clear.
 During – Investigate: Teachers should listen
carefully, observe and assess, and ask questions to
facilitate learning.
 After – Connect: Review responses from the reflect
and share. Use the connect and examples to
complete the lesson.
