This seminar focuses on issues on pacing and differentiated
instruction. Assessment and teaching through problem solving are
secondary themes in this customized course.
This professional development is equivalent to MAP114
Differentiated Instruction in Primary Mathematics incorporating
Enrichment and Remediation in Primary Mathematics.
Improving Low Student Achievement
“Upon separation from Malaysia in 1965, Singapore
was faced with … high levels of unemployment and
poverty. 70% of Singapore’s households lived in badly
overcrowded conditions, and a third of its people
squatted in slums on the city fringes. Unemployment
averaged 14%, GDP per capita was less than $2,700,
and half of the population was illiterate. “

What is Essential in Mathematics Literacy Let’s look at what international assessment (PISA) for 15-year-olds and Smarter Balanced Assessment for Hawaii State test suggest.

What is Basics? The state standards (in this case Common Core State Standards) outline what the basics are. In the next three examples, the standards suggest that (Kindergarten) knowing that 12 is 10 and 2 is basic, (Grade 5) being able to add and subtract mixed numbers with different denominators is basic and (High School Algebra) being able to solve simple equations is basic.

What Does Teaching for Relational / Conceptual Understand Look Like?
Teaching for Meaning Making
Concrete Materials
Students are given
bags of 6 beans
each
Anchor Task
How many beans in
4 such bags?
Students Talking
Multiple Responses
Count all
Repeated addition
Multiplication
Board Writing
Student Journal
Meaning Making
4 x 6 is the same as 4 bags of
6 beans. Also linking new
materials (multiplication) to old
materials (addition).
Teaching for Meaning Making
How do I know if I
have taught in a
meaningful way?
• Link to previous
knowledge
• Link to a
concrete
scenario
• Students can
extend their
thinking.

Use of Textbooks

another six, double,

property and
subtraction
strategy)

for students at the
end of the
discussion (“Let’s see
how they do it.”)

What’s My Anchor Task?
the anchor task is modified
Ming made 4 trays of Christmas cookies.
There were 24 cookies on each tray.
anticipated responses
Level Response
Low • Count all
Average • 24 + 24 + 24 + 24
• 4 x 20 + 4 x 4
High • Use 4 x 25
• Use doubling strategy
The changes are not structural but
superficial to make the context
current (Christmas) and relevant
(rolls of films, seriously?)
4 and 24 allows advanced learners
to use 4 x 25 to do 4 x 24.
Another differentiated
strategy for advanced learners
is to ask students to pose
another word problem for 4 x
24
Struggling learners
may use repeated
addition.
Alternatively they
should be able to
figure out 4 x 4 and
20 x 4.
Use of concrete
materials helps
them.
4 allows advanced learners to use
doubling strategy (mental strategy). advanced learners

Anchor Task
Make a play zoo using some animal
figurines. Talk about the animals. “There
are five ducks. Four ducks in the pond and
one not in the pond.” “Two big lions and
three small ones make five lions.” “Three
blue birds and four red ones make seven
birds.” Do the same with the animals on this
page.
Anticipated Responses
Expected
Find total by counting all.
Exceeded
Find total by counting on.
Find total using other sophisticated methods.
Find total suing number facts
For Advanced Learners
Is there another way to find the total
number of ducks? Can you write it down?
Five parrots and four cats is …?
For Struggling Learners
They may need to see how it is done
through teacher modeling or peer
modeling.
Differentiating for Struggling Learners
For Struggling Learners
351 is renamed as 300 + 30 + 21 before
the partial division is done. This helps
students who lack metacognition and cannot
manage switching between renaming and
dividing in the standard algorithm.
Differentiating for Struggling Learners
For Struggling Learners
Using childlike, informal
representation instead
of the long division
format.

Do you recall why the denominator was spelt out?
Do you recall what are some strategies to differentiate
instruction both struggling as well as advanced
learners?
Do you recall how word problems were read to help
students develop metacognition?
