7/13/13 If you want a job done right……. DO IT YOURSELF

7/13/13 I did it my way…….. And you will do it my way, too

7/13/13 I know you think that what I said was what I meant, but are you sure that what I meant was what I said?

7/13/13 Forget your troubles and just get happy. I’m gonna chase all your cares away.

If it feels good, do it!

“Mathematical competence develops in children who learn that mathematics makes sense and who learn to trust their own abilities to make sense of it.” - Kathy Richardson Are Right Answers Enough?

Too often students will end up with dead end skills and not the foundational understandings that will lead them to further understand the various aspects of mathematics. Are Right Answers Enough?

 In your table groups, consider this question.  As a group, develop a list of characteristics which indicate mathematical understanding.  Record your thoughts to post and share with the group. What determines a student’s success with mathematics?

   How would you think of these problems mathematically without using paper?

Why do children have such difficulty understanding the mathematics we want them to learn?

As educators we must: Understand how young children develop number sense. Provide developmentally appropriate learning tasks to support number sense development. Differentiate math instruction to meet the needs of all students wherever they are in their development of number sense. WE Have a Responsibility

 What concepts does this student understand?  What mathematical skills do you believe have helped him be successful? Justin- Grade 2

Why do children have such difficulty understanding the mathematics we want them to learn?

 They are the essential ideas that are milestones or hurdles in children’s growth in understanding.  They determine the way a child is able to think with numbers and use numbers to solve problems.  They are the understandings that must be in place to ensure that children are not just imitating procedures or saying words they do not really understand. (illusions of learning) Critical Learning Phases

 Read the Foreword and Introduction in Kathy Richardson’s How Children Learn Number Concepts.  Discuss with your table: ◦ What is the illusion of learning? ◦ Why are Critical Learning Phases important? ◦ What impacted your thinking in terms of your own classroom instruction? The Level of Thinking that Children have reached determines their ability to Learn.

Why Assessing Math Concepts? A cohesive look at the development of children’s understanding of core math concepts.

 Inform instruction  Document growth  Uncover the child’s edge of understanding  Guide us as to what is coming into view as children construct mathematical understandings The Assessments

 Enables teachers to select instructional tasks that coincide well with child’s current level of understanding  Provides an on going picture of child’s achievement progress  Provides data for measuring understanding of core number concepts Document Growth

The assessments are not about “helping children be right,” but about uncovering what they need regarding instruction.

The information you get tells you what you need to do for your students. What you learn can truly guide your instruction. The assessments are the beginning, not the end.

Lunch Reading: How Children Learn Number Concepts Chapter 1- Understanding Counting

 Based on your lunchtime reading, work with your group to create a list of what evidence you will look for to determine whether or not students are proficient counters. What does it mean to be a proficient counter?

 Know the correct counting sequence  Have one-to-one correspondence  Keeps track  Know how many when finished counting  Be consistent  Be efficient Counting is a complex concept…but a simple task What does it mean to be a proficient counter?

What will my students be asked to do during the Counting Objects Assessment?  Students will be asked to count a pile of objects.  Students will be asked to count out a particular quantity of objects.  Students will be asked to identify one more and one less than a particular number with and without counters.

Keeping Records 7/13/13

Strategies for Part 1, Task 1 Tips for “Tells How Many” Remembers: Are able to tell you the number they counted. Recounts to find out: If they recount, this means they know they have a way of answering, but didn’t keep the number in their head the first time they counted. Doesn’t remember: They can’t remember because their attention wasn’t on quantity, but on the act of counting; the number they landed on has no meaning to them and they can’t remember it.

Strategies for Part 1, Task 1 Tips for “Counting Method” Strategies Moves – the child moves each counter as he or she counts it. Lines up first – lines counters up first, before they begin to count. Points – the child points at the objects without moving them. It may mean they don’t have a way of keeping track, or they could be able to keep track without moving anything. Looks – the child counts without touching counters; this may mean they don’t realize touching helps; or they are more sophisticated and can accurately count without touching or moving the counters.

Keeps track with ease – keeps track confidently and is accurate. Keeps track with difficulty – student might recount to be sure they are correct. Loses track – may count correctly at first, and then lose track. Can’t keep track – doesn’t always touch each object; doesn’t have a system for keeping track; may count some more than once. Lacks one-to-one – doesn’t touch one object for each number word. Strategies for Part 1, Task 1 Tips for “Keeping Track Strategies”

7/13/13 Turn to page 16 in your blue book. What does an “A” mean? Discuss how to read and where to go for instruction

7/13/13 Now let’s look at the article, Counting is More Than 1, 2, 3. Talk with your partner about Corey- what skills/concepts should he be working on?

7/13/13 What did you notice about the manipulatives used during Corey’s assessments?

7/13/13 What did you notice about Abigail’s counting?

Counting Objects:  Counts one item for each number (one-to-one correspondence)  Keeps track of an unorganized pile  Spontaneously checks by recounting to see if the result is the same  Knows ‘how many’ after counting  Notices when recounting a group results in a different number  Is bothered when counting a group results in the same number after some have been added or taken away.  Reacts to estimate while counting  Gets a particular number without counting past it Critical Learning Phases

One More / One Less:  Knows ‘one more’ in sequence without counting  Knows ‘one less’ in sequence without counting  Notices if a counting pattern doesn’t make sense (Ex: saying 20, 30, 40 instead of 21, 22, 23 or 13, 14, 15 instead of 13, 12, 11)  Knows one more without counting when numbers are presented out of sequence  Knows one less without counting when numbers are presented out of sequence Critical Learning Phases

Strategies for Part 1, Task 2 Tips for “Make a Pile” Counts to Number Correctly – has no problem counting out a quantity. Counts past, self corrects – number beginning to have meaning; recognize when they count past and correct. Counts with errors – Can count out the number of items, but there are errors in the sequence. Counts past, doesn’t notice - Quantity doesn’t have meaning yet; can only focus on the counting, not on the number itself.

Strategies for Part 2, Task 3 & 4 Tips for “One More/One Less Knows without counting – knows the sequence, up and down, without counting. Says rote sequence – knows “one more” but is counting rote sequence. Counts all objects – need to go back and count from one. Incorrect – doesn’t know how many when one is added; may just say a number to answer the question. Note: for one more/one less tasks without counters strategy will be “Counts on Fingers” instead of “Counts all Objects”.

 Part 1 o Task One: Counting a Pile Assess methods for counting, keeping track and rote counting. o Task Two: Making a Pile  Part 2 o Task Three: One More/One Less o Task Four: One More/One Less Assess ability to add or take away one more or less with and without counters, and in and out of sequence. Summary of Counting Objects Assessment

SUMMARIZING THE DATA  Let’s look at the reports that can be run using the AMC software.  How could you use this information to inform instruction?  Linking Resources to Instruction - Resource on Assessing Math Concepts Anywhere Website

 Using the Number Concepts resource, you can create activities for students based on their level of understanding.  Stations can be organized in various methods and ways, which we will discuss on Thursday.  Today, we will spend time becoming familiar with the games so that you can ask any questions. Developing Number Concepts Books and Stations

 Focus – What is the purpose of these activities? The purpose for the counting stations is for students to have experience with counting. If you have students that are more advanced, they will be working on different stations with a different purpose.  For advanced students, you can begin to ask questions to make the task more thought provoking and rigorous.  Stations are questions to be answered, not task to be completed.  Manipulatives are not for getting answers but they are seeing the numbers and how to get the answers. (Be careful not to touch the manipulatives for the kids.) What is the purpose of the Stations?

Book Talk

 After counting, we begin to establish meaning with the numbers. ◦ We begin to look at relationships between numbers, which generally means we need to start with smaller numbers in order to truly understand those relationships. ◦ Focusing on one number in relationship to another number. ◦ More and Less

Number Relationships

Changing Numbers:  Changes a number to a larger number by counting on, or adding on a group  Changes a number to a smaller number by counting back, or removing a group  After changing one number to another, is aware of how many were added or taken away  Knows how many to add or take away from a number to make another number Critical Learning Phases

 Students will be shown a series of numeral cards and asked to change a pile of counters from one number to another.  They will be assessed on numbers to 6, to 10, and to 20. Program will move to higher or lower numbers based upon students’ responses.  Note: Numeral cards to conduct assessment are available in downloads section of amcanywhere.com. What will my students be asked to do during the Changing Numbers Assessment?

Strategies to Change Counters “ Change these counters so there are….” Adds correct group Student can add on a group; understands number relationships. Counts on Student changes it by counting on (or counting back). Adds some, checks and fixes Student guesses an amount to add and check and guess again until they arrive at the number asked. Counts all, adds on by ones Students know they need to add some, but have to count the whole pile. Can’t/Makes new pile/Adds total Students isn’t able to start with original number. May make a new pile to get to number requested.

Strategies to Describe Relationships “ What did you have to do to change….?” Says number added Student is able to correctly tell you the number of counters they added. Says number, but checks Student is able to correctly tell you the number of counters they added, but checks to make sure. Figures out number added Student is able to tell you the correct number of counters added, but has to figure it out first. Says total number Student says the number of counters in the pile, instead of the number added/taken away. Doesn’t say number Student says something such as, “I put more" or "I made the number”.

Linking Assessment to Instruction

 For the counting stations, you do not necessarily add additional activities to the stations.  You simply ask different questions so that students can think in different ways.  It is not about getting the answer, but it is about number relationships.  The rigor is in the thinking not the activities.  It is not the task to be completed, but it is the question to be solved. Changing Numbers Connection to Instruction

 Who is doing the thinking?  How many different ways can I present a concept? (When given different materials, can they still do the math?)  What questions can I ask to focus children's thinking and help them move forward.  What connections and relationships are they making to help them move forward? Questions come from what comes next to help them move their thinking. How can I change the question to meet the range of needs instead of changing the task?

 If I know the question before I ask it, I am not really asking a question. ◦ How do you know? ◦ Are you sure? ◦ How did you get that? Example of building meaning for numbers through using counting stations with questioning: Before you begin counting, do you have any idea where you might land? Ask questions during stations

Hiding Assessment Learning to Decompose Numbers To subtract children need to know the parts of numbers and see the relationship between composition and decomposition. Children must recognize that one number is contained within another number. Children must understand that the number stays the same even when it is broken apart and recombined in various ways.
