PROCESS GOALS (STUDENT FRIENDLY) I use pictures, numbers, and words to show my thinking. I use math vocabulary to explain my thinking to others. I describe why I think my strategy makes sense when solving a problem. I show the problem is like something else I already know. I use effective strategies to solve a problem.
REPRESENTATIONS & CONNECTIONS
PROBLEM SOLVING & REASONING As mathematicians, this is our wheelhouse!
COMMUNICATION HCPS Focus Questioning Bloom’s level Open vs. Closed Wait Time Justification Student Talk vs. Teacher Talk How do you facilitate the classroom? Student Engagement Are students active or compliant?
DIFFERENTIATION Differentiated instruction is the way in which a teacher anticipates and responds to a variety of student needs in the classroom. To meet student needs, teachers differentiate by modifying the content (what is being taught), the process (how it is taught) and the product (how students demonstrate their learning). If your lesson plans incorporate all 5 process goals, you are essentially differentiating your instruction!
SKILLS, TASKS, AND EXEMPLARS Skills and Tasks are on the HCPS website. Exemplars are in the Teacher Evaluation Google Drive folder. Find meaningful opportunities to incorporate mathematical discussions with your students!
