Math+Instruction+with+Research+Affirmed+Strategies

Building Higher-Order Thinking Skills with Ready-to-Use Technologies (Gr. K‑12) Presenter:Steve Leinwand Strategies: 1. Adapt from what we know about reading (evaluate, infer, make connections) 2. Incorporate on-going cumulative review into instruction every day 3. Create a language rich classroom (vocabulary, terms, answers, explanation)-make use of a word wall 4. Draw pictures/create mental images/foster visualization 5. Embed math in context (what math do I need to teach, and when/where do we normally encounter this math?)

Quite often problems in math can be related to language

2014-2015 current state assessments will be over--everyone will be using two different types (CBET, PARK), most likely done on computer. 1/3 basic computation, 1/3 word problem, 1/3 _

Common core standards--very rarely use the word standard algorithm, which gives more freedom for how you teach addition, subtraction, multiplication, division
