1. Exploring Foundational Principle :
“Design a responsive mathematics learning environment”

2. “Effective teachers…. know that a wrong answer might indicate unexpected thinking rather than a lack of understanding; equally, a correct answer may be arrived at via faulty thinking.”
–Anthony, G., & Walshaw, M. (2009)

3. Goals of this session
Deepen knowledge and understanding of the Foundational Principle –
“Design a responsive mathematics learning environment”
Connect this knowledge and understanding to a selected resource
Share this learning with your Team deciding how it may impact your Numeracy plan

4. Reading/ Reflecting upon Foundational Principle - “Design a responsive mathematics learning environment”
As you read page 8, note the strengths and challenges evident in your FOS/District work
Explain how you know.
What is the evidence of impact? 

5. “Transforming Classroom Culture”
A researcher’s view
Dan Meyer,
Stanford University
“Transforming Classroom Culture”
How do Dan Meyer’s comments enhance understanding of the Foundational Principle -“Design a responsive mathematics learning environment”?
Elbow partner sharing then to whole group
Think, pair, share
Chart it

6. Selected Resources Summary of Results and Strategies for Teachers,
2012–2013

7. Review/reacquaint yourself with the resource at your table.
In your Math plan, how might you use this resource to implement the Foundational Principle -“Design a responsive mathematics learning environment”?
Record ideas to share
with your Board Team
Expected to share back with Team 30 min.
10 copies of each resource
Facilitators to note distribution of resource work

8. Additional Resources http://edugains.ca/newsite/math2/index.html
