Final Project- Create a Mathematics Instructional Toolkit/ 20 points
Why a Mathematics Instructional Toolkit?
Mathematics leaders recognize that strong classroom practices are at the core of meaningful learning experiences for students. Instructional Toolkits, and the specific signature strategies it contains, aims to breathe life into the curriculum and to describe a vision for math pedagogy that characterizes the experience of mathematics teaching and learning throughout an educational setting. The hope is that by using the strategies found in a/this toolkit, teachers and students will get maximum benefit from any lesson at every grade level. Research shows that key strategies provide students with the tools and opportunities they need to develop as mathematical thinkers and problem solvers, and to recognize that mathematics, at its core, makes sense. These math-specific strategies support the broader focus on pedagogy, which connects all content areas.
The Instructional Toolkit for Mathematics is aligned with the common core, statewide, cross-content topics/skills to create a cohesive experience for students throughout their mathematics journey.
Your Mathematics Instructional Toolkit
should include:
(Grade level of intended audience) My level is elementary so K-3.
Manipulatives:
Personal collection of popular manipulatives (list of desired math manipulatives and/or picture collection on desired manipulatives) (At least 10 math manipulatives should be included) Can go all on one slide or two slides at most
Resources (online and access to other teaching resources:
Online access to digital resources and/or text books, activities, photocopies- etc. (include resources for both teaching resources and student resources.) As you include resources please indicate “teacher resources” and “student resources.” (10) Place on one or 2 slides
Lesson Plans (5): I will attach them for you. I only have 3 done so far so I will attach the others when they are completed. You just need to place them into the powerpoint.
Mathematical vocabulary required for your intended audience/grade level and lessons. 10 words place on 1-2 slides
