Goals for the day

• Reflect on the Shapes of Algebra Lesson• Complete an Absolute Value Activity• Create a Math-Talk Learning Community

Continuum• Complete a Mathematical Task • Observe the Task in a Mathematics Classroom• Lesson Plan/Observation Expectations

Group Expectations

We will start on time.Please turn off cell phones, pagers

and other devices that will distract. One voice at a time while we are in

whole-group settings. Be sure everyone has an opportunity

to contribute in group setting before you make your second contribution.

Group Expectations

Participate in the mathematics.Voice your ideas and concerns.Respect the thoughts and comments

of others.Have fun.

What is Algebra for All?(Refresher)

1. Function based approach2. Student Centered3. Integrated Technology via

the graphing calculator

Content Knowledge

AFA Year 2 Focus:

Implementation of a Math-Talk Learning Community

ICE BREAKER cont…

At your corner, introduce your self to the others in the group.

Discuss how your corner label affects a Math-Talk Learning Community (which is your classroom).

Shapes of AlgebraDebrief

Reflect on the first few weeks of class this fall.How did your plan involving the Shapes of

Algebra work?What went well? Why?What did not go well? Why?What would you change?

Building the Continuum…Tables will count off from 1 – 4

1’s – Questioning2’s – Explaining Mathematical Thinking3’s – Source of Mathematical Ideas4’s – Responsibility for Learning

Define the roles of the teacher and the students along the continuum for your assigned category.

Page 14: Welcome to Algebra for All Year 2 October 29, 2010.

Create a Rubric

Use levels of Lowand High to create a rubric.

Example: Questioning

Low: Teacher is the only questioner.

Page 15: Welcome to Algebra for All Year 2 October 29, 2010.

Compare Rubrics

Compare your rubric to one that is research based.

How are they similar?How are they different?

Page 16: Welcome to Algebra for All Year 2 October 29, 2010.

We will use the Research based rubrics to help with classroom

observations.

The Basic Student Budget

At your table, complete the activity.

Be prepared to share your results with the group.

Page 19: Welcome to Algebra for All Year 2 October 29, 2010.

Video Case StudyWatch the video paying attention to

the category your table discussed earlier.

Write down your observations using the provided guide. Be aware of both the teacher and the students.

Page 20: Welcome to Algebra for All Year 2 October 29, 2010.

Video Clip Focus Questions

What did you notice about the nature of the discourse community presented in this video clip.

Thinking of your category, where along the path toward high student engagement/learning would you place this conversation?

What evidence of teacher or student behaviors, instructional decisions, questions or comments would you cite to support your choice?

Page 21: Welcome to Algebra for All Year 2 October 29, 2010.

Lesson Planning Assignment

Use The Basic Student Budget activity as the basis for your lesson plan.

Focus on ways to create a Math-Talk Learning Community

Page 22: Welcome to Algebra for All Year 2 October 29, 2010.

Homework AssignmentsTeach the lessonConduct an observation of the teaching of the lesson with your partner

Bring your observations to the next session
