January Session

This session will focus more on gathering and analyzing data based on student work samples. In this session, grades 3 - 5 will implement an upside-down task and create an anticipation/monitoring prior to Jan. 13th. On Jan. 13th we will analyze the data and plan out how to approach to rest of the Module.

Survey for Topic A

Formative Assessment Task: Give the students a pencil and some unit cubes or tiles. Ask them to tell you how long the pencil is. (Topic A)

Vocabulary associated with length: longer, shorter, wider, taller

Develop a monitoring sheet for task

Module 8. Can we focus on how to effectively teach Topic D so that students can leave with a solid foundation of telling time?

Tasks for Module 4 - Area

Grade 4

Task - Module 3 Lesson 32 Problem Set #4, pg. 449: There were 904 children signed up for the relay race. If there were 6 children on each team, how many teams were made? The remaining children served as referees. How many children served as referees?

What should we anticipate? What should we monitor?

  • Use of concrete tools

  • Use of a visual representation (drawing/sketch, diagram)

  • Math Models (partitive division): equals groups, ratio table

  • Interpreting the quotient and the remainder (Division - # of groups unknown, interpreting the remainder)

  • Misunderstanding: multiplies the numbers, states the quotient as the answer

Grade 5

Task - Module 4, Lesson 8 Application Problem adapted, pg. 114: Sasha organizes the art gallery in her town’s community center. This month, she has 24 new pieces to add to the gallery. Of the new pieces, ⅙ of them are photographs, and ⅔ of them are paintings. How many more paintings are there than photos?

What should we anticipate? What should we monitor?

  • Use of concrete tools

  • Use of a visual representation (drawing/sketch, diagram)

  • Math models: area model, set model, number line, bar model

  • Partitioning of whole set (24 items) into sixths and thirds

  • Application of equivalent fractions concepts

  • Comparison of the difference

  • Multiplication

Does the student recognize what the fractional unit is telling us about how to partition the whole? Can the student connect this idea to finding a portion of a group of things?

Does the student recognize (and can explain) the relationship between sixths and thirds?

Original Problem: Kathy had fun baking lots of cookies. She made 24 of them, leaving them on a plate to cool while she went shopping with her dad. Her brother saw the cookies and took 1/2 of them to his Scout meeting. Her sister took 1/4 of the remaining cookies to share with her friends. Finally, her mom took 1/3 of the remaining cookies to her Book Club meeting. When Kathy and her dad got home, some cookies were left on the plate.
