    Teacher Recruitment Day

    January 23, 2015


    Eric Kuennen and John Beam
    University of Wisconsin Oshkosh
    Project Overview

    •Partnership between UW Oshkosh, Medford,


    Abbotsford, Colby, Prentice, Rib Lake, Holy Rosary,
    and Immanuel Lutheran

    •36 mathematics teachers in grades 4-8, and


    5 Mathematics Education professors at UW Oshkosh

    •Two-week summer institute on mathematics and


    academic year projects with a focus on math teaching

    •Three-year program: Summer 2015 - Summer 2017


    Project Goals:

    •Build a deep understanding of the Common Core


    Content and Practice Standards
    •Effectively implement rich and engaging math
    problems in the classroom to facilitate student learning
    of math concepts and processes
    •Understand how students learn math content to
    diagnose and respond to students’ misconceptions
    •Collaborate between grade levels and explore a
    continuum of developing knowledge
    Summer Workshop
    • Sessions taught using a collaborative learning model.
    Small-group work will be followed by large-group
    discussion.

    • Three types of sessions on each mathematics topic:

    – Problem-Based Inquiry
    – Focus on Children’s Thinking
    – Connections to the Common Core.
    Problem-Based Inquiry (PBI).
    • You will deepen your understanding of specific
    content topics through problem solving.
    • You will work in small groups on rich problems
    designed to spark and sustain conversation about,
    and exploration of, a specific piece of the school
    curriculum.
    • You will be engaged in analyzing solutions and
    methods, exploring representations, communicating,
    and making mathematical arguments.
    True or False: Zero is an even number.
    Make a convincing argument for why the
    sum of two odd numbers is even.
    Focus on Children’s Thinking
    • appraise children’s methods and discuss whether
    they are correct and generalizable

    • analyze video clips of children thinking aloud as they


    solve

    • discuss how to respond to common student


    questions and misconceptions
    Connections to the Common Core
    • Discuss the Practice Standards and identify when
    you were yourself engaged in each practice
    • Analyze lessons and activities and discuss underlying
    concepts and approach
    • Collaborate in grade bands to present ideas for how
    to teach specific content
    Academic Year Follow-up
    • Classroom Projects: Collaborate in vertical teams
    to develop and implement lessons and collect and
    share data on student reasoning and
    misconceptions

    • Content-Focused Coaching: One of us will visit


    your classroom and act as a coach for math
    content and processes.

    • January half-day in-service workshop


    Content Themes
    • Year 1: Numbers and Algebraic Thinking
    – Operations and Algebraic Thinking
    – Number and Operations in Base Ten
    – Number and Operations – Fractions
    – Number Systems
    – Expressions and Equations

    • Year 2: Geometry and Measurement


    – Geometry, Measurement and Data
    – Ratios and Proportional Relationships.

    • Year 3: Probability and Statistics


    – Probability and Statistics
    – Measurement and Data
    – Ratios and Proportional Relationships.
    When is it?
    Time Activity

    June 9 and 10 Two afternoon workshops for baseline


    assessments, launch activities and
    mathematical problem-solving
    July 13-17 and Two week Summer Institute on Number and
    July 20-24 Algebraic Thinking

    Fall 2015 Classroom Projects


    Content Focused Coaching
    January 2016 Half-day in-service Workshop
    What do I get?
    (…besides all the great new knowledge and
    experiences)

    •$1540 cash stipend or 4 graduate credits per year

    •Math manipulatives, texts, and resources


    Project Theme:

    • We will be making connections in mathematics:


    not just connections among math concepts but also
    connections among math concepts, the Common
    Core, children’s thinking, and teaching strategies.

    • Making Mathematical Connections is also about you


    connecting mathematically with your peers to learn,
    discuss and explore more about math and the
    teaching of mathematics.
    Review of Applications will begin on Feb. 15.

    Application Form is on our Project Website:
