Mar 4, 20106 likes3,276 views

The Hempfield Area School District held a Parent Math Night to discuss its new K-12 math curriculum. A Math Curriculum Committee selected the Math Expressions program after a year-long review of best practices and programs. The committee evaluated six programs and selected Math Expressions. Two teachers per grade level are piloting the program this semester. Math Expressions uses real-world examples, drawings, and student explanations to help students build conceptual understanding of mathematical ideas. It incorporates strategies like daily quick practice, teaching multiple algorithms, and having students take on leadership roles. The event provided an overview of the Math Expressions approach and resources for parents to support their children's learning.

Early childhood mathematics and developmentfarah1985

Humans are born with basic mathematical abilities that allow them to use simple math concepts even without a written language. Early childhood math education aims to build on these innate skills by introducing mathematical vocabulary and concepts through familiar materials and integrating math into other subjects like art, science, music, and nature. Key early math skills taught in preschool include number identification, counting, one-to-one correspondence, sorting, patterning, and classification.

Why Math Education Needs Puzzlesscottekim

Martin Gardner advocated for including puzzles and recreational mathematics in classrooms to spark students' interest in learning math. However, teachers were resistant without meaningful contexts. The author argues algebra is taught without such contexts, confusing students. Puzzles can provide this meaningful exposure to math concepts, analogous to how picture books introduce literacy. The author plans resources like an online puzzle channel and competitions to promote puzzles in math education.

Math night for parents

1. HEMPFIELD AREA SCHOOL DISTRICTPARENT MATH NIGHTMarch 2, 2010

2. Math Curriculum Committee UpdateK-12 Committee began work in January 2009Worked with the Math Science Collaborative to study “best practices” Participated in presentations on six programsEvaluated each program and conducted phone interviews with teachers and administrators in school districts currently using the programSelected Math Expressions as the top choice.Two teachers per grade level are piloting Math Expressions during the second semesterTeachers will use FASTT Math & Soar to Success software to supplement the Math Expressions program

3. Math Expressions ProgramA comprehensive standard-based K-5 mathematics curriculum that offers new ways to teach and learn mathematics. It combines the powerful elements of the National Science Foundation (NSF) reform mathematics, and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) with the best of traditional approaches. It uses objects, drawings, conceptual language and real world situations to help students build mathematical ideas that math sense to them.

4. CORE CLASSROOM STRUCTURESMath TalkStudents explain thinking using drawings, develop math language“Solve, Explain, Question, & Justify”Quick PracticeWhole class daily routines & building of prerequisite skillsAccessible AlgorithmsComputational procedures that are meaningful to all learnersStudent LeadersStudents assume leadership roles, develop confidenceBuilding ConceptsReal world concepts, link drawings to written math notation Helping CommunityEveryone is a teacher and a learner

5. Accessible AlgorithmsAn algorithm is a multi-step method for solving a math problem.Students need to understand algorithms conceptually so that they can comprehend math.Students learn to make math drawings that show quantities.Having more than one algorithm allows students to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each one.Less advanced students typically chose one method.Other students may use and be able to explain more than one method while becoming fluent in at least one.Understanding multiple algorithms builds number sense

6. Components of the ProgramStudent Books (Hardback or Consumable)Homework & Remembering Practice BooksTeacher’s Resource BookDifferentiated Instruction CardsVaried AssessmentManipulatives & Materials KitsStudent & Teacher Math BoardsLiterature LibrariesPlanning Guides & Pacing GuidesTier I, II, III InterventionsInteractive White Board TechnologyOnline Parent Resources – eduplace.com
