 From Effective Questioning to Deeper Understandings

While asking questions may seem a simple task, it is perhaps the most powerful tool we possess as teachers. Knowing that effective questioning is the foundation for successful implementation of logical reasoning in the classroom, four opportunities for questioning have been identified (Texas and Jones 2013). One of the biggest challenges facing todays’ educators is addressing more rigorous standards that have now been adopted by many states. Students are required to develop deeper understandings of their content. Whether it is a contextual problem to solve in mathematics, a scientific investigation to perform, a piece of text to analyze, or interpreting historical events students are engaging in logical reasoning. A questioning structure and a bridging model that allows students to learn to create questions themselves will be shared.


Mathematicians Notebook

Need a fresh approach to integrating a notebook into your classroom? See how the Mathematician’s Notebook (MNB) can change the way you teach mathematics as well as how your students learn and experience mathematics. The notebook becomes a dynamic place where language, data, and problem-solving experiences operate jointly to form meaning for the mathematics student. The MNB helps students create an organized space for demonstrating their learning process. The notebook serves as a formative instructional tool as well as a portfolio of the students’ learning experiences, which provides rich documentation for their mathematical thinking development. The MNB is a tangible representation of the mathematical process standards and the mathematical practices. The MNB serves as a platform for turning conjecture into modeling and STEM curriculum integrations.


Excursions in Mathematics

Please register for Excursions in Mathematics at:

https://attendee.gototraining.com/r/2285867459294269954

Excursions in Mathematics is an opportunity for students from around the world to come together as they engage in monthly mathematical experiences. The event will be held from September, 2106 through May, 2017.

Each month your students take a journey to some part of the world to learn about the mathematics that originated there. During each of the 8 excursions there will be opportunities for collaboration with other students from around the world. Students will be engaged in:

  • Logical reasoning experiences while investigating and working with a variety of mathematical topics,
  • Writing about the mathematics they are studying,
  • Making interdisciplinary connections, and
  • Investigating the historical development of Mathematics and the implications for their work in today’s society.

The Top 5 Reasons for Using Manipulatives in the Classroom

Have you ever asked or said or heard a fellow educator ask or say… “Exactly what constitutes a manipulative?” “I have some of these manipulatives in my closet, but do not have a clue how to use them!” “How do I find the time to use manipluatives in the classroom when I have so much […]

Happy National National Chocolate Day: October 28thChocolate Day!

National Chocolate Day: October 28th My grandmother always said, “God was in a good mood the day He created chocolate!” I grew up thinking that chocolate was a basic food group! And, I admit, chocolate is one of my weaknesses. What does National Chocolate Day have to do with mathematics!   Well – where’s the math? […]

Functional Fluency

I just returned from NCTM Boston. What a great week! I got to catch up with a lot of old friends and made several new ones as well. My co-author, Leslie Texas, and I did a session on one of our strategies from our book series What’s My Move: A Kinesthetic Multisensory Approach to Graphing […]

Algebra I Employment Standards – 2022-2023

State Approved Hybrid Training Sponsored by the Tennessee Department of Education The State of Tennessee has provided various paths for qualified middle school teachers to teach Algebra I/Integrated Math I for high school credit. The various paths are described at https://www.tn.gov/education/licensing/educator-licensure/licensed-educators.html.  The purpose of the trainings offered here is to provide the pedagogical and content […]

Putting the “A” in STEAM

Are you looking for a summer workshop for your K-12 students? In July, I will be hosting an art/writing workshop for students K-12. We will be focusing on Putting the “A” in STEAM.  This 6-day enrichment workshop will focus around the arts and humanities. Students will create and begin to use a combined art journal […]

NCTM, San Francisco

My colleagues and I really enjoyed your presentation at NCTM.  We have already convinced our principal to pre-order us copies of your new book, but we would also like 4 class sets of the pyramids. 

Many presentations talked about problem solving and the benefits of giving students higher level thinking problems, but yours was the only one that really told us how to teach it and scaffold it for students, rather than just modeling what problem-solving looks likes.  Thanks.
