Peter Liljedahl » Numeracy Tasks

While perhaps surprising to many in the public, this conclusion follows from a simple recognition—that is, unlike mathematics, numeracy does not so much lead upwards in an ascending pursuit of abstraction as it moves outward toward an ever richer engagement with life’s diverse contexts and situations. – Robert Orrill.

Seventy-eight is the 12th triangle number, which means that it is the sum of the integers from 1 to 12. Suffolk Maths - Promoting Excellence in Mathematics. Home. Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) Teachers pose a variety of problems; problem solving is the focus of instruction. 1CGI does not involve a particular class configuration, does not use a pre-specified set of problems in a given sequence to teach the curriculum; and teachers who use CGI are not limited to specific resources.

Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI)

One teacher might read a children’s book to provide context for the story problems. Another could refer to a recent field trip to a city park. A third might use a textbook as a teaching resource. Many problem-solving strategies are used to solve problems. 2Children are provided with multiple opportunities to decide how to solve problems. Children communicate with their teachers and peers how they solved the problems. A Weekly Digest of the Mathematical Internet. The Mathematics of Hope.

Purpose and Goals Visible Thinking is a flexible and systematic research-based approach to integrating the development of students' thinking with content learning across subject matters.

Visible Thinking

An extensive and adaptable collection of practices, Visible Thinking has a double goal: on the one hand, to cultivate students' thinking skills and dispositions, and, on the other, to deepen content learning. By thinking dispositions, we mean curiosity, concern for truth and understanding, a creative mindset, not just being skilled but also alert to thinking and learning opportunities and eager to take them Who is it for? Visible Thinking is for teachers, school leaders and administrators in K - 12 schools who want to encourage the development of a culture of thinking in their classrooms and schools.

Key Features and Practices At the core of Visible Thinking are practices that help make thinking visible: Thinking Routines loosely guide learners' thought processes and encourage active processing.

Reprinted from Big Ideas of Early Mathematics: What Teachers of Young Children Need to Know (2014), Pearson Education. As they explore three-dimensional solids, children will discover for themselves that the faces (or sides) of these solids look like circles, rectangles, triangles and other common two-dimensional shapes. © Erikson Institute’s Early Math Collaborative. Reprinted from Big Ideas of Early Mathematics: What Teachers of Young Children Need to Know (2014), Pearson Education. Children need to go beyond the use of superficial shape labels to recognizing and specifying the defining attributes of shapes.

I think it is absolutely imperative that we, as elementary educators, realize the overwhelming nature of this challenge. We must realize the importance of elementary mathematics and science instruction and the fact that we must provide solid foundational experiences for our students that not only teach them, but inspire them to love these subjects.” Zak Champagne “Making Sense of Math and Science: It’s Elementary“, Teacher of the Year, Duval County, Fla.
