math standards quantity

  • In kindergarten,
  • by focusing kindergarten work on the number core: learning how numbers correspond to quantities, and learning how to put numbers together and take them apart
  • high school standards

  • Quantities and their relationships in physical, economic, public policy, social and everyday situations can be modeled using mathematical and statistical methods.

    I find it interesting that these standards repeatedly refer to quantity reasoning.

  • “Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution.”
  • “Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Mathematically proficient students make sense of quantities and their relationships in problem situations.”
  • “Use appropriate tools strategically. Mathematically proficient students consider the available tools when solving a mathematical problem.”
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • “Model with mathematics. Mathematically proficient students can apply the mathematics they know to solve problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace.”
  • “Attend to precision. Mathematically proficient students try to communicate precisely to others. They try to use clear definitions in discussion with others and in their own reasoning.”
  • “Look for and make use of structure. Mathematically proficient students look closely to discern a pattern or structure,” and “Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Mathematically proficient students notice if calculations are repeated, and look both for general methods and shortcuts.”
  • Missing entirely from the practice standards is a discussion of how to pose problems, and, more generally, how to ask powerful questions. This is a telling oversight. Unlike in school, real problems are not served up on a platter, fully formed. The standards-writers overlooked the most basic fact of people with genuine math expertise: They find problems!
  • Is it too late to change this? I hope not. Solving our problem of poor mathematics education depends upon it.

    Interesting opinion piece about how the new standards in math miss the mark.

mathematics education standards assessment math curriculum

shared by Rebecca Patterson on 04 Sep 11 - No Cached
  • The SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium has released its content specifications in math.
  • • #1: Students can explain and apply mathematical concepts and carry out mathematical procedures with precision and fluency. • #2: Students can frame and solve a range of complex problems in pure and applied mathematics. • #3: Students can clearly and precisely construct viable arguments to support their own reasoning and to critique the reasoning of others. • #4: Students can analyze complex, real-world scenarios and can use mathematical models to interpret and solve problems.
  • a new draft will be issued for comment on Sept. 19. That's the day that comment on the first-round math content specifications is due as well.

    Wondering if this is like standards or is it more of an assessment?

math calculus teaching education

  • Many of the methods Winn uses were the brainchild of Carl Munn, a Crawford math teacher who saw that teens were baffled and demoralized by their math tests as early as algebra. So instead of barreling through the state standards, Munn slowed down and focused on fewer topics. He gave teens a chance to fix their mistakes on pre-tests and emphasized how math related to real life. Winn expanded on what Munn designed, spending his Saturdays crafting lessons for calculus at a coffee shop.

      Fewer topics and deeper understanding.
  • He has the fervor of an evangelist
  • mathematicians might worry that they're just teaching steps, not understanding. But Winn found teens liked steps. They wanted consistency and stability, things they might otherwise lack in their lives.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • He and his students jointly pledge to bring "INTENSITY and DESIRE" to class, starting the year with a calculus banquet and a "circle of blessings" from parents. Yet Winn is strict. Every student signs a contract for the class, promising to review for the exam at school on a few Saturdays. He insists that homework has to be turned in before the bell rings.
