Key Points
Phi Delta Kappan, 2005
Professional development should involve• Teachers in the identification of what they
need to learn.
• Teachers in the development of the learning opportunity and/or process.
Key Points
Phi Delta Kappan, 2005
Professional development should be
• primarily school based and integral to the school operations.
Key Points
Phi Delta Kappan, 2005
Professional development should provide
• opportunities to engage in developing a theoretical understanding of the knowledge and skills to be learned.
• Professional development of a reform type (e.g., teacher networks or teacher study groups) rather than workshop or conference participation.
• Consistency with teachers’ goals, other activities, and materials and policies.
• Collective participation in professional development by a group of teachers or other educators from the same subject, grade, or school.

Accessible Mathematics10 Instructional Shifts That Raise
Student Achievement
Please read the……
“Introduction”“For lots of reasons, no component gets as little attention as instruction, the complex
interaction between teachers and students that determines who learns what.”
- Steve Leinwand 2009
Chapter 1“We’ve Got Most of the Answers”
A shepherd was guarding his flock of 18 sheep when all of a sudden 4
wolves came over the mountain. How old is the shepherd?
Chapter 1“We’ve Got Most of the Answers”Read from the beginning of ch.1 through the bullets on pg. 3.
1. What compelling evidence arises about the student responses to the “Shepherd Problem”?
2. The author compares typical US classrooms to typical Japanese classrooms. Discuss the student behaviors each model encourages. Connect them to the Mathematical Practices.
Chapter 1“We’ve Got Most of the Answers”
Read the remainder of the chapter.
Revisit the list of shifts, discuss the ones you already do.
•What outcomes occur as a result?
•Which shifts would you like to explore further?
Chapter 9“Just Don’t Do it!”
Are These Concepts Essential? Explain!•Multi-digit multiplication and division by hand
•Fractional parts; such as sevenths and ninths
•Complex formulas with no context
•Simplifying radicals
•Factoring by hand
Chapter 9“Just Don’t Do it!”
Read pg. 54 – Paragraph 1 on pg. 571.
1.What conclusions can be made as to why few students are successful in mathematics?
2.What must be done to improve these situations?
Chapter 9“Just Don’t Do it!”
Begin reading paragraph 2 on pg. 57 - 59.
What components are essential for student mastery? Explain!
Chapter 4“Picture It, Draw It”
Read pp. 19 – 21.
“For many students, mathematical ideas “must be grounded in pictures and models…..It is our responsibility to use a variety of visual models with our students…...”
How will using pictures and models inform your instructional practice?

Initial Amount Unknown
Jameson had a stack of baseball cards. He bought 37 new cards. His collection now has 98 baseball cards. How many cards did he start with?
|------98---------|
The initial amount is unknown while the joining amount and the total amounts are known.
? + 37 = 98
? 37
Suppose…..
A football conference has 7 teams each with 55 players. How many total players are in the league?
What answers will you get?
55 55 55 55 55 55 55
Model with FractionsSara and Amy went to the mall. After Sara spent 3/7 of her money and Amy spent $45, they each had the same amount left. If they had a total of $375 when they started, how much do they each have left?
Model with Fractions$375– 45=$33011u = $3301u = $304u = $120 They each have $ 120 remaining.
X + 4/7 x + $45 = $375 x = $210Which is Sara’s initial amount!
Model with Two- Unknowns
There are 76 students playing sports. 1/4 of the boys and 2/6 of the girls are playing basketball. If there are 23 students playing basketball, how many boys and girls respectively are playing sports?
Model with Two- Unknowns
76- 23 = 53 53 – 23= 30 30 – 23= 71B = 7 so 4B = 28 boys B = ¼ boys and G = 1/6 girls76 – 28 =48 total number of girls
1B + 2G = 234B + 6G = 76

The “Infamous” Skin Problem
You are in the waiting room with your son, when all of a sudden the sirens start blaring and two nurses run to the ER admissions door. You hear one of the nurses exclaim, ”Oh, dear, this is serious. This next patient is completely burned.” The second nurse calmly advises: “Don’t worry. He’s an adult so let’s just order up 1000 square inches of skin from the skin graft bank.”
What Would You Say?
“Oh good, that’ll be enough to cover it!” or
“Oh dear, the patient is in a lot of trouble here!.”
• Which response is more appropriate?
• Explain your reasoning.
• If you were the patient, estimate the amount of skin you hope was ordered up?
• Explain how you arrived at your estimate.
Leinwand, 2000, p. 51
How would students respond?

“Turn and Talk”
• Would students be able to develop an understanding of how to find the surface area of a cylinder by doing the first problem?
• Which approach is more likely to engage students and develop understanding?
• What mathematical concepts are students learning in each situation?

Now that you have experienced a new counting system, what strategies helped you learn and apply
the new counting language?
Chapter 5“Language-Rich Classes”
Zurkle Reflection What language-rich strategies identified in
Accessible Mathematics were used to help you learn and apply the new counting language?
Chapter 2“Ready, Set, Review”
Read pgs. 6 – 8, stopping at the paragraph with the words “Number One:”.
“Discuss incorporating ongoing cumulative review into every day’s lesson”.
Chapter 2“Ready, Set, Review”
Let’s Jigsaw!
Read assigned jigsaw #1 – #6 from pgs. 8 – 14.
Chapter 2“Ready, Set, Review”
In your jigsaw groups: Discuss:• How does the strategy behind the mathematics relate
to each grade-band? • What types of problems are important to your grade
band? • What is the purpose of review, practice, and prior
knowledge problems?
Chapter 2“Ready, Set, Review”
With your grade-band, share each jig-sawed piece of your reading and how the strategy
relates to your grade band.

Chapter 10“Putting It All in Context”
Accessible Mathematics10 Instructional Shifts That Raise Student
Achievement1. Incorporate ongoing cumulative review in everyday
instruction.2. Apply what works in our reading programs to math instruction.3. Use multiple representations of mathematical entities.4. Create language-rich classroom routines.5. Take every opportunity to support number sense.6. Build from graphs, charts, and tables.7. Tie math through questions that increase the natural use of
measurement. (“How big?”, “How much?”, “How far?”) 8. Minimize what is no longer important.9. Embed the mathematics in realistic problems and real-world
context.10.Make “Why?”, “How do you know?”, “Can you explain?”, classroom
mantras.
Productivity – the amount of student academic achievement or the degree of academic improvement per year per teacher or per school
Increasing our productivity of our mathematics programs and instruction requires:-Shifts in what we expect our students to master-Shifts in when we expect them to master it-Shifts in how we teach it
School.discoveryeducation.com
“We really do have many of the answers we need to make significant gains in our productivity. The task we face is to broadly institutionalize these answers in the thousands of school districts, the tens of thousands of schools, and the hundreds of thousands of classrooms where mathematics is taught and must be taught better.”
