Creating, Collaborating and Computing in Math

Enhancing the teaching and learning of mathematics using technology

Year 4 (2016-2017)

Riverside School Board and McGill University- September 20th, 2016

Welcome and introductions Icebreaker activity Key themes of project Open forum (summer school) Objectives (past and future) 3 main challenges

-Break- Sample videos and reflection on high quality practices

-Lunch- Group work on exploring strategies and planning (Block A and B) Mathematical Mindsets Learning target sustainability Exit ticket

Agenda

1. Student success in mathematics2. Digital literacy

3. Focus on the transition from elementary to secondary

4. Professional learning network5. Use of data to monitor and orient practice,

inquiry, and learning

Key Themes of CCC-M project

1. Cultivate a community of practice in mathematics teaching and digital tools2. Develop solutions and measure and evaluate the results3. Develop practice of using digital tools for teaching and learning math4. Promote reflective practice and inquiry 5. Consolidate a long-term partnership between RSB and McGill

Objectives

Kristie and Sandra about Math Boost Camp

Open Forum

CCC-M participants will explore teaching strategies, that address the selected main

challenges, for the purpose of implementation in their classroom (1-2 strategies).

Today’s learning target

Objectives for Year 3

1. Cultivate a community of practice in mathematics teaching and digital tools2. Develop solutions and measure and evaluate the results (More focus on Student learning data) 3. Develop practice of using digital tools for teaching and learning math4. Promote reflective practice and inquiry

A Key Activity for Year 3Video-based Reflective

Practice

Students’ group work, engagement, and discourse Strategies for reflective practice

Facilitation of collective video-based reflection (Involving teachers in own-reflection analysis)

Video capture Students capturing video with iPads

Interaction between students from different levels (e.g., Gr 6 & Gr 8 through Vialogues)

Expanding, integrating newcomers New teachers New researchers, math educators

Objectives for Year 4

Strategies for Year 4 (2016-2017)

Objectives Strategies (examples)1. Cultivate a community of practice in mathematics teaching and digital tools

Ongoing, active online interaction(e.g., Edmodo & Vialogues)

2. Develop solutions and measure and evaluate the results Video-

based Reflective Practice

Student learning data & Voices from students (e.g., Formative assessment)

3. Develop practice of using digital tools for teaching and learning math

ICT hands-on sessions at F2F meetings (e.g., Plickers, Padlet, etc)

4. Promote reflective practice and inquiry

Regular, ongoing reflection

5. Consolidate a long-term partnership between RSB and McGill

Plans & Strategies for scaling-up

1. Think individually2. Group discussion3. Any additions, changes?

Today’s 3 Main Challenges

You have identified the following:1. Decoding Application Questions and

Situational Problems/Transfer of knowledge2. Number Sense3. Student Engagement and Motivation

3 Main Challenges

Teaching toward an instructional goal Eliciting and responding to student thinking Orienting students to each other’s ideas Positioning students competently Establishing and maintaining expectations for student participation Representing student thinking and key ideas Using a public record of student thinking

Video Reflection and Practices of High Quality Teaching

Class norms and learning targets Effective positive group work (group norms) Math talk (re-iterating, repeating differently in your

own words, adding, thinking differently, agreeing/disagreeing, etc.)

Probing and questioning (wait time) Feedback systems and formative assessment Error analysis Poster work, 360 classroom, UPS placemat, etc. Self-assessment Flipped classroom Math mindset Home or real life connection

In other words

Block A: find a group of teachers that wish to explore the same practice/strategy as you and support each other with the implementation of this strategy.

Block B: repeat for another practice/strategy

Exploration of Practice and Strategies

Keep in mind the 3 main challenges!

Norms Mindsets

Mathematical Mindsets

Join the Edmodo Group Participation in online discussions, sharing of

practices, new insights, etc.
