Session Goals

• Develop strategies to create appropriate scaffolding questions.
Before/Part 1/Minds On
• In your journal, individually, write down one statement about open questions.
Before/Part 1/Minds On
• When you hear the word “go”, move around the room sharing your ideas and listening to the ideas of others. The challenge is to rely only on auditory memory.
• When you have talked to five people who are not at your table, sit down and write down as many of their ideas as you can remember.
Before/Part 1/Minds On
• With your group, compare your lists and add to your own list.
During/Part 2/Action
• Individually, use the planner provided and Marion’s fail-safe strategies to create one open question about proportional reasoning that you can use this year, and some scaffolding questions to support student learning.
• Remember to select a big idea and a learning goal for your question.
During/Part 2/Action
• Post your question on large stickies.
• Do a gallery walk, and jot down any questions that you feel you can use in your classroom this year.
After/Part 3/Consolidation• Arts and Crafts Time!
• In your glyph group, create an artistic representation of proportional reasoning (a three-dimensional representation, a skit, a song, a tableau).
• Be prepared for a showcase of your work!

• At the end of the carousel, each person will be asked to record 1-5 words that describe the connections made during the carousel on the graffiti paper posted outside of Central Hall.
