Ways to structure the design
of your math instruction
Math Menus
The Educator Perspective
- students prior knowledge
- how much information is readily available for students to get on their own
- how self-reliant are students when it comes to getting the information
- Differentiating menus
- rotate around to different stations.
- differentiate based on student needs
- practice for mastery - math facts
- allows educator a chance to work in small groups
Digital Learning
Virtual Learning
- teaching learning tools designed to enhance a student's learning experience
- use computer/internet
- curriculum mapping (breaking curriculum into sections that can be assigned and assessed
- student tracking and online support
Flipped Classroom
- Flipped experiences (learning online at your own time)
- discuss with peers
- concept engagement takes place in the classroom
Blended Learning
- combination of brick and mortar facility and online delivery
- by 2019, 50% of high school courses will be delivered online
Port
- place that learners can go to experience and learn information
- don't have to go to all ports
- free exploration to create their own understanding
- learners can access when they need it
- allows for immediate answers to a need to know
Workshops
- predictable structure, routine, ritual and system
- allows the teacher to answer the question how do I know
- observations
- they are deliberately kept predictable so they unpredictable can happen
- Mini lesson, work time, debrief
