Math HomeworkWhat does it look like for you and your child?
Sometimes it can be just as frustrating for you as it is for your child.
or
A better understanding of the new math curriculum will help you and your child.

Public Schooling Begins
All Students are processed:
in year groupings
at the same rate
through the same pre-set curriculum
through bite sized pieces in the same order

Procedure shifts to Constructed Learning
– Procedural learning focuses on rote memory or learning facts or formulas in isolation.
– Constructed learning requires students to pull new learning into existing neural pathways.
– Mad Minutes are replaced by learning strategies for basic facts to automaticity.
– *Provincial Achievement Tests will reflect this change.
No more “Drill and Kill”

• Objectives have been streamlined at each grade level.
– More time for deeper, richer concept development.
– Students develop and communicate their understanding.
Less is More

Students working with more than one model.
Collaborative learning.
Problem based learning.
Students developing efficient personal strategies.
Students communicating understanding.
Less worksheets … More “hands on” …. Richer discussion.
You should see …

1. Build Number Sense
2. Pre-Algebraic Thinking
3. Teaching “Through” Problem Solving
4. Developing Personal Strategies
The Big Four

• Subitize – collections
• Comparing Numbers
• Understanding Operations– number lines– benchmarks and referents– place value – balances
• Mental Math and Estimation
Number Sense
![Page 11: Parent Information Night 2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060107/55499849b4c90507608b49e9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Help students “SUBITIZE”
• Recognize quantity at a glance
• Recognize part – whole relationships
• Helps students transform quantity
Dot Collections

I saw 2 columns of four
No, I moved them in my head.
Is that what I showed?

Ten Frames
As students mentally “move” dots to form familiar pattern, they are developing flexibility of thought and dynamic imagery. - Grayson Wheatley

Mental mathematics is the cornerstone of all estimation processes
0 1
Draw a number line like this one.
Place the fractions 3/8 and 4/7 on the number line.
Explain to a partner how you decided where to place each fraction.
Mental Math and Estimation

Students with number sense:naturally decompose (can break down) numbers
use particular numbers as referents
can solve problems using base ten benchmarks: 1,10,100,1000
understand the relationships among operations
estimate a reasonable result for a problem
want to make sense of numbers, problems, and results.

• Equal, not equal
• Balance equations
• Flexible thinking

• Should be meaningful to students
• Should accommodate different abilities
• Provide opportunity for collaboration with peers.
• Students represent understanding with concrete, pictorial and symbolic models.
Problem Solving

• There are 7 cookies on the plate. Some are peanut butter and some are chocolate chip. What is on the plate?
• How many solutions?
• Can you use 7 and 0?
• Could students learn facts for seven by solving this problem?
Grade one example

Ladybugs can have 2, 5 or 7 spots.
My friend has a jar of ladybugs.
He says altogether there are 18 spots.

• Put MORE emphasis on constructing rich learning opportunities.
• Put LESS emphasis on PROCEDURE.
We want teachers to …

Through Student Engagement
Students will develop their own personal strategies.
