34. Seth has 21 cents in his pocket. Seth told Jesse that he would give Jesse the 21 cents if he could correctly guess what coins they were. He would give Jesse 3 guesses. If Jesse did not guess correctly, Jesse would have to give Seth 21 cents. Should Jesse guess? Conduct an experimental probability experiment to help explain your math thinking.

36. Students OWN a Vertically Articulated Problem Solving Strategy

38. Seth has 21 cents in his pocket. Seth told Jesse that he would give Jesse the 21 cents if he could correctly guess what coins they were. He would give Jesse 3 guesses. If Jesse did not guess correctly, Jesse would have to give Seth 21 cents. Should Jesse guess? Conduct an experimental probability experiment to help explain your math thinking.

39. Does Jesse have a better than 50% chance of guessing the right coins in 3 guesses? Seth has 21¢ in his pocket. Jesse has up to three chances to find what kind of coins Seth has in his pocket. Jesse should accept the challenge if his chances are 50% or better. I can find how many different coin combinations make 21¢. There are 9 ways to make 21¢ and Jess has 3 guesses, the probability that Jess will guess correctly is 3/9 or 1/3.

42. Formative Assessment Formative assessment is the process used by teachers and students during instruction that provides feedback to adjust teaching and learning for the purpose of improving student learning. Council of Chief State School Officers, October 2006 Notes: Process rather than a particular test…. It is not the nature of the test itself that makes it formative or summative…it is the use to which those results will be put.

47. Three types of curricula exist in any classroom: The Intended Curriculum: content/skill specified by the state, division, or school at a particular grade level. The Implemented Curriculum: content/skill actually delivered by the teacher. The Attained Curriculum: content/skill actually learned by the students. Intended Curriculum Implemented Curriculum Attained Curriculum Effective Instruction: focus Effective Instruction: focus on essential knowledge, skills, processes, & vocabulary

48. Work collaboratively (e.g., construct viable arguments, critique, agree) to identify key words that capture the essential elements of instructional strategies with fidelity. Enjoy working with your new best friend. instructional strategies Please send a table representative to pick-up a resource for each team member.
