15. Typically, this involves the teacher posting 4-6 varying math standards for students to work. The teacher acts as a facilitator who encourages a variety of ways to solve problems and helps model efficient thinking when necessary. Students solve problems in their math journals or notebooks. Concepts are consistently revisited throughout the year so that they are not taught in isolation and/or forgotten. Correct together and students take turns sharing their individual strategies with the class.

19. CONCEPT LESSON- Improving Student Motivation and Achievement in Mathematics “... The future well-being of our nation and people depends not just on how well we educate our children generally, but on how well we educate them in mathematics and science specifically.” -National Commission on Mathematics and Science Teaching for the 21st Century

20. “ Tell me and I’ll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I will understand”. -Native American Proverb

21. “ Students whose teachers conduct hands-on learning activities outperformed their peers by more than 70% of a grade level in math and 40% of a grade level in science.” -Harold Wenglinsky

23. Conceptual Understanding

24. Building Conceptual Understanding RELATING: learning in the context of life experience EXPERIENCING: learning in the context of exploration, discovery, and invention APPLYING: learning by putting the concepts to use COOPERATING: learning in the context of sharing, responding, and communicating with other learners TRANSFERRING: learning in the context of existing knowledge, or transferring, uses and builds upon what the student already knows

25. Problem-solving activities. These are learning experiences that engage students’ creativity while they are learning key concepts. These activities also teach problem solving skills, analytical thinking, communication, and group interaction. The best problem-solving activities introduce key concepts— usually curriculum objectives or standards—as they arise naturally in problem situations. This allows students to see a need or a reason for using the new concepts. When they see relevant uses of knowledge in solving interesting problems, students can make sense of what they are learning. This has been shown to motivate students to exert the required effort to gain and use the new knowledge.

26. A problem is defined by… Any task or activity for which a student has no prescribed or memorized rules or methods, nor is there a perception by the student that there is a specific “correct” solution method.
