TEACHING AND LEARNING SURVEY
When your table has completed the survey, please have a discussion on questions 3, 8, and 11.
We will be discussing the other areas at future sessions.
5 PRACTICE SCRAMBLE
In your groups:- Refresh yourself on the 5
Practices- Look at pages 7-12 for more help- Make a list of the 5 Practices and
characteristics to each practice
5 PRACTICE SCRAMBLE
In your groups:- Compare your list to the purple
list, how did you do?- In pairs at your table, cut our the
square teacher quotes- Match the quotes with a practice
5 PRACTICE SCRAMBLE
In your groups:- Compare your groups to the other
groups at your table.- Were any statements difficult to
categorize? - Did any of these statements give you
new insight into the practices? - Could any teacher comments be
placed in more than one category?
5 PRACTICE SCRAMBLE
In your groups:- Write one statement for each practice
that best summarizes your understanding of how to implement that practice.
- Be prepared to share!
This data is used to support our project… When you are done
complete MI Buff Problems

onal?
…or Not?
P-18
Proportional?…or Not?
1.First, INDEPENDENTLY cut and sort the “cards” according to whether or not they represent proportional situations. 7 mins.
2.On the back of each card (or on scrap paper), present a mathematical/numerical explanation that “proves” your selection: proportional or not. 15mins.
3.Then, share out with your table. If you disagree on any cards, present your numerical “proof”.
P-19
For each question, decide which statements are TRUE. Explain your
answers.If you double one
quantity, you double the other.
The ratioFirst qty : second
qty is always the same
Speed, Time Speed : Time
SomeQuestionsGive reasons why it is important for students to recognize proportional relationships – versus those that are not.
What are key features of direct proportionality?
What are hindrances students face when they are unaware of proportional relationships.
What are common mistakes students make when solving proportions?
More Proportional Reasoning!
1. EACH PERSON AT YOUR TABLE SELECT ONE OF THE 6 PROBLEMS.(EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT PROBLEM)
2. SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM AS MANY WAYS AS YOU CAN WITHOUT USING THE CROSS PRODUCT.
More Proportional Reasoning!
3. FIND YOUR “STATION” GROUP AND DISCUSS THE STRATEGIES USED.
4. MAKE A POSTER DISPLAYING THE STRATEGIES YOUR STATION USED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
More Proportional Reasoning!
GALLERY WALK: QUESTIONS
Which strategies were used to solve more than one problem?
Could strategies used for #1 (for example) also work for another problem?
GALLERY WALK: QUESTIONS
Compare with the strategies you used to solve the sample problem (MI Buff).
What strategy do you find the most effective?
Which strategy is most effective with your students?
GOAL SETTINGWhat is one goal you would like to set for yourself from
now to the next session?
