"Effective teaching of mathematics engages students in solving and discussing tasks that promote mathematical reasoning and problem solving and allow multiple entry points and varied solution strategies." ~National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics
We look forward to seeing more engaging math lessons and activities. Encourage students to talk more in math and push yourself as the teacher to talk less. Challenge students to consistently explain their thinking. Acknowledge and highlight different strategies presented by students.
AVID Strategy of the Month: One-Pagers
The one-pager is a strategy for responding to a text, or summarizing content in a way hat helps students demonstrate their unique understanding of a text, lesson, or concept. The purpose
is to synthesize the meaning of the content and demonstrate visually and in
words the meaning for the reader. It is also a tool to share perceptions among
students and to allow the teacher to assess student comprehension. It can be
used in a variety of ways, including: providing a platform for partner and group
discussions that highlight different perspectives demonstrated in the one-pagers,
serving as the basis for a Socratic Seminar discussion, or functioning
as a review resource prior to a quiz or exam.
