14 8 Math Practices: a shift in how we think and do math

15 Math Practice 1 Mathematically proficient students seek to FULLY UNDERSTAND what they’re being asked to do and aren’t afraid to TRY AGAIN if they don’t succeed the first time. Which of the statements personally connects with you?

16 MP Booklet: Facing Page What additional questions would you add?

17 Math Practice 2 Mathematically proficient students MAKE SENSE of numbers and amounts. They think about how the numbers in the problem RELATE to one another. 12 – 3 = 7 Can you develop a story to go with this equation?

18 MP Booklet: Facing Page What additional questions would you add?

19 Math Practice 3 Mathematically proficient students can FORM ARGUMENTS that make sense. They can also COMPARE the logic of two competing arguments and identify the one that is correct. Which of these statements do you think is most useful in real life?

23 Math Practice Problem Ana can rent a “New Release” DVD for $2. 50 each and a “Movie Classic” DVD for $1. 00 each (including tax). On Saturday evening, Ana rented 5 DVDs and spent a total of $8. 00. • How many of the 5 rentals were “New Releases” and how many were “Movie Classics”? * *Adapted from 2011 NAEP Sample Mathematics Problem - Grade 8

24 Reflection Which Math Practices did we use?

25 Standards Practices Attitude Take back resources and activities to use at home OBJECTIVE 4

26 Question 1: If your child is doing well in math, why do you think it is suggested that you “watch for complacency”? Question 2: Why is it important for your child to know why they got a math problem wrong? Question 3: Why is a homework routine important for students who are struggling?
