The Art of Our Craft

Session Goals

• Develop a strategy to create open tasks related to proportional reasoning in order to differentiate instruction.

• 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!

K-12 Carousel

• Your group will carousel to each breakout group to examine the artifacts and/or visual representations of learning.

• Each breakout group representative will be assigned the role of “tour guide” for their focused breakout room visit. This is your opportunity to highlight key learning.

K-12 Carousel

• You are encouraged to share your observations as a collective throughout the carousel.

• 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.
