...Running head: (NCTM) Standards: Website Lesson Plans (NCTM) Standards: Website Lesson Plans Jennifer Martin Grand Canyon University: EED-364 April 21, 2013 Introduction: “The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics is the public voice of mathematics education, supporting teachers to ensure equitable mathematics learning of the highest quality for all students through vision, leadership, professional development, and research.” (NCTM, 2013) The standards that The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NTCM) came up with are widely used in the mathematics classrooms in US today. There are many websites that offer different things that use these standards and help the students to learn while still enjoying mathematics. This essay will analysis lesson plans from four different websites that contain math activities which confirm to the NTCM standards. Lesson Plan #1: I'll Halve S'more Please!! This lesson allows the students to take real life situations into consideration and shows them how you can use mathematics in their everyday lives. This lesson uses standards for number and operations set out by the NCTM. After this lesson the students should be able to: Use the resources such as tools and strategies that are given to them to be able to estimate appropriately, and understand different ways numbers can be represented. The mathematical operations that are used in this lesson would be fractions, addition and subtraction. The students would be able to show...

...Abstract Teachers are expected to create their own lesson plan. It is a guideline for teachers learn pedagogical concepts in students’ education. It is also a conceptual methodological tool that helps teachers in making a lesson plan on a desire topic so that they can implement the lesson plan and assess its results. An objective is very important part of the lesson plan due that it describe the purposes and aims of the learning outcomes. Learning outcomes outline the significant learning results that the students are expected to achieve and demonstrate at the end of the class. In this process students can identify the skills and knowledge they have learned after the subject is taken place. The ABCD method is also a big part in creating a lesson plan that helps in writing instructional objectives that could integrate Bloom’s taxonomy of learning theory and two dimensional frame works. These methods are essential tools in guiding the teacher in preparing and implementing his or her lesson plan properly and orderly. Key words: instructional objectives, learning theory, learning outcomes The ABCD method of writing objective is widely uses in every structure instructional objectives. The ABCD methods can be used in Grade 7 Math class with multicultural classroom. In today’s classroom population are increasingly diverse. With these type of population teachers should and must strive to meet the standards set by government and school district in reaching these students...

While incorporating technology in the classroom, one has to look at the classroom as a whole and how the technology will enhance or take away from the classroom and lessons being used. Technology is not only computers, printers, calculators and the like; it is computer software and Internet. Integrating technologies in the classroom is important because...

...1 A User’s Guide to Learning Styles and Math Tools T he journey of developing this book began almost five years ago. After over sixty combined years of service in schools, two of us—John R. Brunsting and Terry Walsh—were coming to the end of our careers as mathematics instructors and administrators. For most of those sixty years, we had the pleasure of working together in Hinsdale Central High School in Hinsdale, Illinois, where we met Harvey Silver and were introduced to the Thoughtful Classroom professional development model he designed with Richard Strong. What we quickly came to learn is that the Thoughtful Classroom really works. Whenever we implemented Thoughtful Classroom strategies in our classrooms or worked with other teachers to help them implement Thoughtful Classroom strategies in their own classrooms, the effect on student learning was palpable—students became more engaged, discussions got richer, student thinking went deeper, and test scores went up. There was, however, one particular Thoughtful Classroom text that always seemed to make the biggest difference in classrooms in the shortest amount of time. That text was Tools for Promoting Active, In-Depth Learning (Silver, Strong, & Perini, 2001; Silver, Strong, & Commander, 1998). The idea behind Tools for Promoting Active, InDepth Learning is simple. It is a collection of classroom-tested tools, or simple teaching “moves,” that teachers can use to foster active, in-depth learning. These tools are based on the...

...Adapted Lesson Rose Davis SPE 514 SEQUITA LIPSCOMB Introduction I was able to observe in Ms. Brianna Roos, Special Education resource classroom the week of April 1st – April 5th, 2013 at Hamilton Creek Elementary School. On April 5th, I was able to teach my adapted Mathematics lesson to a small group of 3rd graders in the 90-minute math block. The small group contained six Specific Learning Disability students. The opportunity to perform and teach this lesson proved to be challenging, but at the same time very rewarding. Specific Learning Disabilities “Specific Learning Disability means a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or in using language, spoken or written, that may manifest itself in an imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or to do mathematical calculations, including conditions such as perceptual disabilities, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia, and developmental aphasia. This does not include the learning problems that are primarily associated with visual, hearing or motor disabilities, cognitive impairment, emotional disturbance, or that of environmental, cultural, or economic disadvantages” (SLD, n.d.). Teachers and parents may look for the following patterns in students of specific learning disabilities: •Short attention span, unable to concentrate on a task...

...checkers, to use to understand positive and negative integers. Students will use the checkers to help them visually see how many positive or negative checkers when performing problems. Activity2: Students will create a picture on a piece of graph paper in quadrant one the students will then rotate the picture 180 degrees. Activity 3: Student will use graphs to answer questions on a work sheet. Interpretation is the second Facet. “Interpretation is defined as interpretations, narratives, and translations that provide meaning” (Wiggins & McTighe, 2005). The goal is to find the meaning of readings, activities and other types of media. Interpretation can leads to gray area. There is not definite right or wrong answer. Activity 1: This activity is works with PEMDAS and why it is important. Students will receive a work sheet with math equation. There will be multiple-choice answers. The student will have to figure out which answer correctly goes with PEMDAS. Activity 2: Students will interpret graphs to calculate future results of student growth in Rochester City school district. Activity 3: Students will be given a worksheet with pictures that are rotated, reflected and translated. It is up to the student to interpret the pictures and decide which term fits each problem. Application is the third facet. “Application is the ability to use knowledge effectively in new situations and diverse, realistic contexts” (Wiggins &...

...Learning Perspectives Lynnette Sharrer Grand Canyon University EDU 313 N June 3, 2012 Learning perspectives can be generalized into three groups; cognitive psychology, behaviorism, and social cognitive theory. The main focus of learning differs between the three perspectives, but they are similar in some ways and complement each other, which helps teachers build successful learning classrooms. According to Omrod (2011, pg. 356), “Diverse perspectives of learning often complement, rather than contradict, one another, and together, they give us a richer, more multifaceted picture of human learning than any single perspective can give us by itself.” All three perspectives can help teachers provide valuable lessons for student achievement and motivation to succeed. A brief description of the three learning perspectives and what a classroom with each perspective may look like, including lesson plans with the different perspectives is outlined in this essay. Cognitive psychology studies mental processes; how people think, perceive, learn, and remember. Cognitive psychology focuses on how people acquire, process, and store information. An internal mental phenomenon may or may not be reflected in behavior is how learning is defined, according to Omrod (2011). In cognitive psychology, new information and knowledge occurs from experiences. An important aspect of cognitive psychology is constructivism. Constructivism in theory is how learners construct knowledge from experiences...

...MATHEMATICS 2 Discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages of teaching mathematics without a textbook. You probably notice most, school use textbook in the classroom and the advantages of using textbook is as teachers they depend on that textbook for the curriculum the schools sometimes mandates that the teachers to use a textbook in classroom. And the level of expertise on the part of the teachers is high, textbook provide you with several advantages and we have to admit that it can make the job easier for a teacher. If you are a new teacher textbooks can be a great help each lesson plan is design for the teacher in detail on what to do when teaching math. Textbooks provides the teacher organized units work, a textbook provide you with detailed procedures that tell you when and what to do, you will have no surprises they are balanced presentation is order chronological with the information. The progress is a complete program, a textbook is only as good as the teacher, the teachers need to know how to use it, and textbooks are used to show consistency in the work. In today schools textbook provides countless academic benefits to students and teachers, textbooks has a positive effects on the academic lives of the students, the ability to review what they have learned by...

...Reflective paper of Math 213 and Math 214 Patsy Castanon Math 214 April 27 Dwight Filley Reflective paper of Math 213 and Math 214 In an elementary level, a positive learning atmosphere in a school for young children is a composite of many things. It is an attitude that respects children. It is a place where children receive guidance and encouragement from the responsible adults around them. It is an environment where children can experiment and try out new ideas without fear or failure. It is an atmosphere that builds children’s self-confidence so they dare to take risks. It is an environment that nurtures a love of learning. In order to be a successful teacher, you need to understand that each child has different ways in which they learn better. I feel a teacher should have a variety of teaching techniques and mix all the different ways of teaching in their lesson plans to help fill the needs of each individual student. As a teacher, Math can be and is a very tough subject to learn. Teaching Math and making it fun to learn. Teaching children that mathematics is a language that we use every day to identify, investigate and describe every day challenges. We can describe different situations and events that we have to prepare for or events that have already occurred. Understanding the world we live in is best because mathematics is all around us. Mathematics consists of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, measurement, statistics, and probability. We have numbers, quantities...
