Productive .vs. Unproductive Beliefs for Teaching and Learning Mathematics

Unproductive Beliefs Productive Beliefs

Mathematics learning should focus onpracticing procedures and memorizing basic number combinations.

Mathematics learning should focus on developing understanding of concepts and procedures through problem solving, reasoning, and discourse.

Students need only to learn and use the same standard computational algorithms and the same prescribed methods to solve algebraic problems.

All students need to have a range of strategies and approaches from which tochoose in solving problems, including, but not limited to, general methods, standard algorithms, and procedures.

The role of the teacher is to tell studentsexactly what definitions, formulas, andrules they should know and demonstratehow to use this information to solvemathematics problems.

The role of the teacher is to engagestudents in tasks that promote reasoningand problem solving and facilitate discourse that moves students toward shared understanding of mathematics.

Productive .vs. Unproductive Beliefs for Teaching and Learning Mathematics

Unproductive Beliefs Productive Beliefs

Students can learn to apply mathematicsonly after they have mastered the basicskills.

Students can learn mathematics throughexploring and solving contextual andmathematical problems.

The role of the student is to memorizeinformation that is presented and then use it to solve routine problems on homework, quizzes, and tests.

The role of the student is to be activelyinvolved in making sense of mathematicstasks by using varied strategies andrepresentations, justifying solutions, making connections to prior knowledge or familiar contexts and experiences, and considering the reasoning of others.

An effective teacher makes the mathematics easy for students by guiding them step by step through problem solving to ensure that they are not frustrated or confused.

An effective teacher provides studentswith appropriate challenge, encouragesperseverance in solving problems, andsupports productive struggle in learningmathematics.

13 Posing Purposeful Questions

Effective teaching of mathematics uses purposeful questions to assess and advance students’ reasoning and sense making about important mathematical ideas and relationships.

Effective Teaching and Learning. (2014). In Principles to Actions : Ensuring mathematical success for all (p. 35). Reston, VA: NCTM.

Four Types of Questions1.Gathering Information2.Probing Thinking3.Making the mathematics visible4.Encouraging reflection and justification

Page 14: Indiana Standards (2014)

14 Posing Purposeful Questions

Question type Description Examples

Gathering information

Students recall facts, definitions, or procedures.

• When you write an equation, what does the equal sign tell you?

• What is the formula for finding the area of a rectangle?

Probing thinking Students explain, elaborate, or clarify their thinking, including articulating thesteps in solution methods or the completion of a task.

• As you drew that number line, what decisions did you make so that you could represent 7 fourths on it?

• Can you show and explain more about how you used a table to find the answer to the Smartphone Plans task?

Effective Teaching and Learning. (2014). In Principles to Actions : Ensuring mathematical success for all (p. 36). Reston, VA: NCTM.

Page 15: Indiana Standards (2014)

Question type Description Examples

Making the mathematicsvisible

Students discuss mathematical structures and make connections among mathematical ideas and relationships.

What does your equation have to do with the band concert situation?

How does that array relate to multiplication and division?

Encouraging reflectionand justification

Students reveal deeperunderstanding of theirreasoning and actions,including making an argument for the validity of their work.

• How might you prove that 51 is the solution?

• How do you know that the sum of two odd numbers will always be even?

Assessment Items – General Notes…

Mathematics Icons will not appear on the Spring 2015 Math items, as

Mathematical Process Standard 5 requires the use of appropriate tools strategically.

The Spring 2015 Math assessment will include items that measure fluency as demonstrated “efficiently” and “accurately” by students.

When creating an expression or equation, students must define the variable.

Gridded-Response items will appear as part of the pencil-and-paper version for Part 2 in grades 4 – 8.

3939 Mathematical Process Standards

Help students develop the Process Standards on a daily basis while connecting them to math content.

Page 40: Indiana Standards (2014)

4040MP 2 & 3

Reasoning and Explaining

Students must make sense of quantities and their relationships in problem situations.

Provide time for students to think, share, and write about quantities in tasks & how they relate

Encourage varied representations to solve tasks Evaluate arguments and work of others

Page 41: Indiana Standards (2014)

4141 MP 4 & 5Modeling and Using Tools

Provide multiple opportunities for students to apply math in real world tasks

Help students build their “toolbox” and encourage them to think about using their tools to solve math problems eventually without prompting them to use the tools Pencil and paper, concrete models, ruler,

protractor, calculator, spreadsheet, computer algebra system, statistical packs, dynamic geometry software

Page 42: Indiana Standards (2014)

4242MP 7 & 8

Seeing Structure and Generalizing

Encourage not always “attacking” a problem immediately

Encourage students to look for patterns and ways to make the task easier or to assist in solving the task

Encourage students to look for and build patterns that might lead to further understanding

Division computations: quotients with remainders written as a fraction, mixed number, or decimal, but NOT with “R” to represent the remainder Ex: 15,266/68 could be written as either 224.5, 224 ½, 224

34⁄68, 449⁄2, or equivalent values; but not as 224 R34

Operations with integers is now in Gr.7 Although the difference of #’s on a # line (including

negative numbers) is in 6.NS.4 Teach “x” and “•” as multiplication symbols 6.NS.10: Some examples: unit pricing, constant

speed, percent problems, conversions within the same measurement system

A parking lot has 24 rows. Each row has the same number of parking spaces. The parking lot has a total of 768 parking spaces. Write an equation that can be used to determine the number of parking spaces (p) in each row.

Page 57: Indiana Standards (2014)

5757Defining Variables

New ISTEP+ Item aligned to 6.AF.5 and MP.2, 4, and 6 A parking lot has 24 rows. Each row has the

same number of parking spaces. The parking lot has a total of 768 parking spaces.

Write an equation that can be used to determine the number of parking spaces in each row. Be sure to define the variable in your equation.

Page 58: Indiana Standards (2014)

5858Attend to Precision

MP.6 Attend to Precision means precision in computations AND communication Precise communication: Let p

represent the number of parking spaces in each row

Not as precise: p is parking spaces If the answer is 1/3, then leave as

1/3…NOT 0.33

Assessment Items – General Notes…

Mathematics Icons will not appear on the Spring 2015 Math items, as

Mathematical Process Standard 5 requires the use of appropriate tools strategically.

The Spring 2015 Math assessment will include items that measure fluency as demonstrated “efficiently” and “accurately” by students.

When creating an expression or equation, students must define the variable.

Page 60: Indiana Standards (2014)

60ISTEP+ Part 1 – Applied Skills Sample Items

The following items are samples, designed to use with teachers, as part of professional

development; and students, to familiarize them with items

aligned to the college- and career-ready 2014 Indiana Academic Standards.

These sample items are non-secure and

may be used by teachers and students.

67Exemplary Response:

p represents the number of pounds of strawberries Lynn needs2p = 22 OR Other valid equation and definition of the variable

AND

$88

AND

Lynn should sell each cake for $12.

Page 68: Indiana Standards (2014)

68Sample Process:2p = 22 P = 22/2 p = 11 

22 x $3 = $6611 x $2 = $22$66 + $22 = $88 

$88 + $52 = $140$140/20 = $7 per cake$7 + $5 = $12OROther valid process
