Book Study: Making Number Talks Matter | TEACHING TO MY OWN BEAT Two years ago I began confronting my mathematical instructional practices and shifting my classroom. One of the first people, who challenged many of my deeply held thoughts, was Ruth Parker. Ruth modeled with a group of adults (in the MEC-MSP project in conjunction with OSPI) how to empower thinking, engage in true mathematical discourse and process rich tasks. It was in this workshop that I first experienced Ruth leading a group of educators in a number talk. Like any human being, I have some qualities that aren’t necessarily positive. Through the experience in the workshop, I had a taste of number talks but had so many more questions. Number talks have transformed my classroom. Now, in my current role as both 6th grade math teacher and Teaching Channel Laureate, I get to engage with teachers across the country in conversations around mathematics through a Making Number Talks Matter book study. My classroom will be filmed and I will be broadcasting it to you. Like this: Like Loading...
The Utah Middle School Math Project | A University of Utah Partnership Project for 7th and 8th Grade Math Interactive Mathematics Miscellany and Puzzles ASKING STUDENTS TO CHOOSE A PATH AND JUSTIFY IT Model Mathematics Curriculum Progression and Evidence Tables (by grade level) The curriculum units were created so districts may choose to adopt or adapt the models in lieu of developing their own mathematics curriculum. All of the unit outlines were developed in accordance with the information from the November 2012 PARCC Model Content Frameworks. Each middle school grade level and high school course contains a sequence of units designed to address all standards for that level in a cohesive manner. For each grade level and Math 1, Math 2, and Math 3 there is a scope and sequence. The scope and sequence list the unit, core standards, supporting standards and the approximate time frame. The curriculum units were created so districts may choose to adopt or adapt the models in lieu of developing their own mathematics curriculum.

Fibonacci Numbers, the Golden section and the Golden String Fibonacci Numbers and the Golden Section This is the Home page for Dr Ron Knott's multimedia web site on the Fibonacci numbers, the Golden section and the Golden string hosted by the Mathematics Department of the University of Surrey, UK. The Fibonacci numbers are The golden section numbers are 0·61803 39887... = phi = φ and 1·61803 39887... = Phi = Φ The golden string is 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 ... a sequence of 0s and 1s that is closely related to the Fibonacci numbers and the golden section.

Matt Parker | Standup Mathematician index About this Site This website was developed as a project of the Region 13 Educator Certification Program (ECP) Transition to Teaching grant from the United States Department of Education. The idea for this site came from a long-held practice of our program training. The purpose of this site is to share these tools with a wider range of novice and experienced teachers in a web based format including video illustrations of the tools in use. Keep checking back as we add more strategies and video content to our tool kit. About Educator Certification Program The Region 13 Educator Certification Program (ECP) provides an opportunity for professionals from many different fields to become teachers through an alternative route to certification in Texas, rather than following the traditional college route. The Region 13 Educator Certification Program has certified teachers for over twenty years through this alternative route. About Region 13

Free Maths Rich Tasks on Mr Barton Maths arrow_back Back to Rich Tasks Mr Barton's Rich Tasks On this page I have collected together my favourite rich tasks that I have used over the last 11 years, in an accessible, easy to use format. I also invite teachers to share their ideas for interesting probing questions and lines of inquiry for students to investigate. Contents The Background keyboard_arrow_up Back to Top For me, a rich task is one that both engages and challenges students with a wide level of mathematical ability. I feel activities like these are crucial for students’ mathematical development. The key to a good rich task are the questions that accompany it. The strength of the rich task lies in these questions. Please join in.
