Math

Hi,
 * __CC Math Sites__**

I hope you find these materials useful. This first site lists the Math common core standards, and then there are a variety of resources listed below for lesson planning using the Common Core. Many of them are created by NCTM (National Council for Teaching Mathematics), so I will be going to their site often this year. At the end, I have Instructional resources, which I hope you find helpful. Michelle Roesch

[] - Common Core Math standards


 * __[]__** ways to use technology in the classroom in all subject areas, but here are math ideas:

[] - Examples of Common Core Math lessons for 5th grade
 * Challenge students with online mathematics problems.**Add a daily or weekly mathematics challenge to your seatwork assignments, math lessons, or extra credit activities. The Math Forums Math Problem of the Week offers word problems in five categories -- math fundamentals, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus. The AIMS Puzzle Corner provides more than 100 math-related puzzles appropriate for students in upper elementary grades and middle school. Most include printable worksheets. Aunty Math's Math Challenges for K-5 Learners offers biweekly word problems for younger students, while high school students will enjoy the news-related math problems at Math Counts. Dont like todays problem? Not to worry! Most of the sites listed also include extensive archives. If you teach grades 3-8, extend your students online math experience and encourage them to match wits with students around the world by participating in the Abacus International Math Challenge.

[] - This site is d esigned to " // illuminate // " the new // NCTM // Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, complete with links, lessons, activities and more. This will be my “go to” place this year for teaching 5th grade math.

[] ** NCTM ** serves math teachers, math educators, and administrators by providing math resources and professional development opportunities.

[] - this site has a lot of Professional Development resources, but be sure to look at **Instructional Materials and Resources, it has great K – 5 resources**

From the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Illuminations Instead of calling numbers to play Bingo, you call (and write) numerical expressions to be evaluated for the numbers on the Bingo cards. The operations in this lesson are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division; the numbers are all single-digit whole numbers. [] Nation Library of Virtual Manipulatives Student use a Ten Frames to demonstrate decimal relationships. [] [] From the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Illuminations Students learn the basics of the metric system. They identify which units of measurement are used to measure specific objects, and they learn to convert between units within the same system. [] From the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Illuminations Students experiment with units of liquid measure used in the customary system of measurement. They practice making volume conversions in the customary system. [] From the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Illuminations This activity enables students to apply their knowledge about fractions to a real-life situation. It also provides a good way for teachers to assess students' working knowledge of fraction multiplication and division. **Students should have prior knowledge of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions before participating in this activity**. This will help students to think about how they use fractions in their lives, sometimes without even realizing it. The basic idea behind this activity is to use a recipe and alter it to serve larger or smaller portions. [] Determining the Volume of a Box by Filling It with Cubes, Rows of Cubes, or Layers of Cubes [] From the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Illuminations Students explore two-dimensional space via an activity in which they navigate the coordinate plane. [] From the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Illuminations In this lesson, students will review plotting points and labeling axes. Students generate a set of random points all located in the first quadrant. Students will plot and connect the points and then create a short story that could describe the graph. Students must ensure that the graph is labeled correctly and that someone could recreate their graph from their story. [] From the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Illuminations Students use dynamic software to examine the properties of rectangles and parallelograms, and identify what distinguishes a rectangle from a more general parallelogram. Using spatial relationships, they will examine the properties of two-and three-dimensional shapes. [] From the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Illuminations In this lesson, students classify polygons according to more than one property at a time. In the context of a game, students move from a simple description of shapes to an analysis of how properties are related. []

[] Effective Questions Posters: These PBS TeacherLine posters give some questions that administrators can build into their professional learning opportunities with teachers that model the practices that the Common Core State Standards value and expect. [] NCSM Illustrating Mathematical Practices These ready-to-use PD materials are designed to help teachers understand the Standards for Mathematical Practice and implement them in their classrooms. Each module supports a 1.5- to 3-hour session that focuses on one or two mathematical practices. [] Use current brain research to change the way your students think about mathematics. Students will become mathematically proficient more easily if they are thinking positively about learning mathematics. This topic is addressed in a recent ASCD publication: Willis, Jud//y Learning to Love Math; Chapter 1 Reversing Math Negativity with an Attitude Makeover.// ASCD 2010. The introduction and Chapter 1 can be read by at this site. [] Carpenter, Franke, and Levi’s book, //Thinking Mathematically (2003)// is an easy read for teachers. Chapter 2 Equality is a downloadable free sample from the publisher. [] Inside Mathematics is a professional resource for educators that feature classroom examples of innovative teaching methods and insights into student learning, tools for mathematics instruction that teachers can use immediately, and video tours of the ideas and materials on the website. Inside Mathematics will be aligning its tools and examples to the Common Core.
