Traditional mathematics instruction rushes students through the development of concepts into memorization and operational math that has little meaning. This curriculum web will give students the much needed practice and experimentation with concepts to build conceptual understanding that leads to better retention and application of the concepts. Simultaneously, students will build useful technology skills..
1. Show and describe what occurs when a change is made to one part of of an equality relationship.
2. Create and solve problems to find the missing number.
3. Analyze characteristics and properties of 3 Dimsional shapes and develop mathematical arguments about geometric relationships.
4. Use visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to solve problems.
5. Understand various types of patterns and functional relationships
These activities are intended for all students but are particularly useful to students who don't yet have a complete grasp on the mathematical concepts.
Prerequisites include, but aren't limited to, a basic understanding of mathematics (numbers and basic operations) and internet acclimation.
These activities are intended to supplement math instruction. Each activity develops a specific concept (i.e. Order of Operations and Attributes of 3-D shapes). Teachers should preteach related lessons in the classroom. For suggested lessons, link to www.illuminations.nctm.org/lessonplans/index.html
Teachers instructional guide for order of operation lessons can be found here!
Teachers instructional guide for 3-D geometry lessons can be found here!
Teachers will need to use a math curriculum based on the NCTM (National Council for Teachers of Mathematics) Standards. Suggested lessons can be found at: www.illuminations.nctm.org/lessonplans/index.html
Online activities that are interactive and tutorial.
