Welcome
California Mathematics and Science Partnership (CaMSP)
Academic Year Follow Up Session # 3
March 20th, 2010
Objective: Use content-based review strategies.
Slide 3
CA 6th Grade Standard NS 1.3
Use proportions to solve problems (e.g., determine the value of N if 4/7=N/21, find the length of a side of a polygon similar to a known polygon). Use cross-multiplication as a method for solving such problems, understanding it as the multiplication of both sides of an equation by a multiplicative inverse.
6 questions on CST 5 questions on PA #2, plus 1 Constructed Response
Slide 4
Anecdotal results from PA #2
Think-Pair-Share– At your table, share your results from the constructed
response What were the most common errors and
misconceptions?Were student errors conceptual or procedural? What vocabulary words did the students have the
most problems with?– Be prepared to share out with the whole group
“If Ty rides his bike for 26 days every 4 weeks, how many days can he expect to ride in 50 weeks?”
Slide 5
Review Strategies that provide access to content
Mathematically Speaking– Vocabulary emphasis– Speaking– Listening
Appointment Book– Content– Set up & Solution
Slide 6
Teacher Instructions:All students independently complete both mathematical tasks or
problems. Student pairs are formed.Target vocabulary words are written on the MS chart in the left column.
For lower grades, the teacher can fill in the words. The two students write their names across the top. One student explains
half of the completed task or a given problem to the other student as he or she tallies on the chart each time a target word is used in the explanation. Students keep talking until all target words have been used.
The other student then takes a turn doing the same.
Mathematically Speaking Activity
Slide 7
Appointment Book
Teacher Instructions:Students make appointments with different classmates. Teacher signals and announces first appointment.The students pair up (find their appointment classmate)
and together they solve the problem on the board/overhead/document camera.
The teacher signals and announces next appointment. Cycle continues until all/most appointments are filled. Closure: Students complete sentence frames at the
bottom of their handout.

2:00 Appointment
One package of blueberries costs $3. How many packages of blueberries can
you buy for $9?
Slide 9
5:00 Appointment

of 45 square feet should contain how many fish?
Slide 10
1:00 Appointment
Shawna reduced the size of a rectangle to a height of 2 in. What is the new
width if it was originally 24 in wide and 12 in tall?
Slide 11
3:00 Appointment
If two pencils cost $1.50, how many pencils can you buy with $9.00?
Slide 12
4:00 Appointment
Jane ran 100 meters in 15 seconds. How long did she take to run 1 meter?
Slide 13
Debrief use of Review Strategies
• What structures are necessary in order to ensure a successful lesson when working with these strategies? What classroom management procedures need to be in place?
•How do these strategies evoke the use of language?
•What other strategies or activities can be used to review/reteach a standard that has already been assessed?
•How did these strategies provide access to the math after it was taught and assessed?

Slide 16
Strategy Stop
QUICK Write Strategy: Springboard for Instructional Conversations Scaffolds: Bridging and Contextualization Language Domains: Writing and Reading Description: Students give quick reaction to prompt presented. Goal
is to capture feelings or meaning to the person not linguistic correctness.
Affect: Supports low-risk learning environment Interaction / Practice: Facilitation of Language Development
Slide 17
Strategy Stop
3 Step Interview Access Strategy: Instructional Conversations Scaffolds: Bridging, Modeling, Schema-Building Language Domains: Listening, Speaking, Reading Description: Students share to A/B partners. Then each share their
partner’s thoughts/responses to the rest of the table/group. Affect: Supports low-risk learning environment Interaction / Practice: High accountability (peers); practice with
language development
Slide 18
Strategy Stop
Mind Mirror Strategy: Advanced Graphic Organizer Scaffolds: Bridging, Contextualization, Schema Building Language Domains: Listening, Speaking and Writing Description: Students tie ideas together in a graphic by giving simple quotes
from the text to synthesis of ideas. Affect: Supports learning environment with accountability Interaction / Practice: All must participate and practice oral language.
Slide 19
Strategy Stop
Hand Up, Stand Up, Pair Up (Kagan Strategy) Strategy: Instructional Conversations Scaffolds: Bridging, Contextualization, Schema Building Language Domains: Listening, Speaking Description: Students stand up after thinking about a question or
having had a prompt to answer/think about, put their hand up and “high 5” someone to pair up. Now they discuss their answer to a certain prompt or problem
Affect: Supports learning environment with accountability Interaction / Practice: All must participate and practice oral language.
Slide 20
Strategy Stop
A-Z Review Access Strategy: Cooperative learning Scaffold: Metacognition Language Domains: Writing &Listening and Speaking Description: It is a review strategy. Students think of a
word related to a certain topic, one or more for each letter of the alphabet.
Affect: Supports low-risk learning environment Interaction / Practice: Facilitation of Language
Development, practice writing, and orally presenting
Slide 21
Strategy StopMathematically Speaking: Access Strategy: Instructional Conversations Scaffold: Schema-Building,Meta-Cognition Language Domains: Listening and Speaking Description: Students solve 2 different problems or half
of a task. They take turns explaining their half of the completed task or given problem to the other student as he or she tallies on the chart each time a target word is used in the explanation. Students keep talking until all target words have been used.
Affect: Supports low-risk learning environment Interaction / Practice: Facilitation of Language
Development, practice speaking and listening, and orally presenting
MATH!!!!
Slide 22
Strategy Stop
3 x 3 Sentence Builders Access Strategy: Academic Language Scaffold: Contextualization, Text Representation Language Domains: Writing Description: Picking 4(2 x2) or 9 (3x3) words from
vocabulary list students put them in boxes and create sentences with words that go across horizontally, vertically and diagonally.
Affect: Supports low-risk learning environment Interaction / Practice: Facilitation of Language
Development, practice writing, and understanding interrelation between concepts and terms.
Slide 23
Strategy Stop
Collaborative Poster Access Strategy: Cooperative Learning Scaffold: Bridging, Text Re-presentation, Schema Building Language Domains: Writing and Listening& Speaking Description: Students work in groups of four, each with a different
colored marker. Students work together to strike a balance in solving the task while learning from each other and discussing the content.
Affect: Supports low-risk learning environment Interaction / Practice: Facilitation of Language Development,
practice writing, and deepens understanding concepts and procedures.
