2. Student Voices “I get the math in cars, I’m just failing algebra ‘cause it isn’t real.” 2 “Boring. All the rules don’t make any sense to me.” “I feel really stupid in math class and I know I’m never gonna use this stuff so I don’t care.” “You know I wish I could do all the x’s and y’s, but I guess I’m not good at math.”

3. Essential Questions 3 How can we best prepare ALL our students to understand and make sense of the world around them? How can we integrate reasoning habits within the curriculum? How can we help ALL our students find meaning and develop connections and purpose for the mathematics they learn?

4. Reasoning Habits of Mind Analyzing a problem Seeking and using connections Implementing a strategy Reflecting on a solution NCTM 2009, p.9

5. Problem Solving

6. Common Core State Standards Define what students should understand and be able to do in their study of mathematics. – Standards for Mathematical Practices – Standards for Mathematical Content CCSSM (page 12)

7. Grouping the practice standards 1. Make sense of problems andpersevere in solving them 6. Attend to precision Problem solving with precision 2.Reason abstractly and quantitatively 3.Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others 4. Model with mathematics 5.Use appropriate tools strategically 7.Look for and make use of structure 8.Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning Reasoning and Explaining Modeling and using tools Seeing structure and generalizing
