So What About Rigor??

• Rigor is directly related to Bloom’s Taxonomy. In order to achieve higher levels of rigor in the math classroom one must define basic, proficientbasic, proficient, and advancedadvanced Benchmark Proficiency Progressions across big ideas or a particular state standard or indicator.

Sequence of WorkDesigning a Unit in…..

• Start with the objectives linked to the unit. End in mind first, then go forward.

• The US math curriculum is way too full of meaningless junk. Try to eliminate the junk. Go for the “big ideas.” Remember less is more!!!

• Don’t ask a barber if you need a haircut. -------------------------

After unit objectives are defined, then design daily lesson plans.Assessments must be given often, but also summative too.

Design A Lesson For 6.1Solving Inequalities by Add and Subt

• Summarize Objectives of Lesson Note: Could be Teacher Directed Instruction or

Class Driven• Solving inequalities (linear one-variable) can be

done by using a model or by using properties.• It appears that the solution to an inequality is

more than one answer in most cases.• Solving equations and inequalities follow similar

steps and similar properties. (an exception is coming later)

• Graphing the solution to an inequality on a number line is a great visual.

• Guide Practice (Homework)• Selected Problems from textbook

and/or other resources.

Now It’s Your TurnLesson Plan Design

In your group do only one of the enclosed big ideas.

Big Idea 1: Solve linear equations in one variable.Big Idea 2: Graph two-variable linear equations in the coordinate plane.Big Idea 3: Solve Pythagorean Theorem problems.Big Idea 4: Find the surface area of a variety of three dimensional standard shapes.Big Idea 5: Solve quadratic equations (one variable) by an appropriate method.

Use Flip Chart Paper (may take two sheets) and Markers:• > Write the Big idea at the top of the paper.• > Write an abbreviated lesson plan showing:• - Objectives• - Define Basic, Proficient, and Advanced cognitive levels• - Best Instructional Practices (Look at the Marzano List Carefully) • > Show just one or two assessment items that could be used to

measure the criteria under the cognitive levels.

Cheery Sequence

Definition:

Start with any positive integer. Calculate the sum of the squares of the digits to produce the next term. If the sequence eventually has a period of “8”, then the sequence is called “cheery.”

Questions to Ponder

• Question #1

Do all integers generate cheery sequences that have periods of either 8 or 1, or do other periods exist? (i.e., find an integer with a period of 5)

• Question #2

Is there an infinite number of happy integers, or is there a largest one?

74

Questions to Ponder

• Question #3

Are there any consecutive integers both of which are happy? Happy Twins

• Question #4

Are there strings of more than two consecutive happy integers?

Like Happy Triplets

75

Let’s Explore Cheery Sequences

• Question #1Do all integers generate cheery sequences that have periods of either 8 or 1, or do other periods exist? (i.e., find an integer with a period of 5)

• Question #2

Is there an infinite number of happy integers, or is there a largest one?

• Question #3Are there any consecutive integers both of which are happy? Happy Twins??

• Question #4Are there strings of more than two consecutive happy integers?

Elves and Linear Equations

Bobo the Forgetful ElfPart 1

Bobo the forgetful elf works at the North Pole. Yesterday he worked putting wheels on toy motorcycles and cars. All North Pole workers keep track of their own inventory in an honor system arrangement. Unfortunately, Bobo cannot remember what happened yesterday, and all his work has already been shipped. He does remember that he used 140 wheels for 50 vehicles, and there were no partial vehicles (i.e., all vehicles had the correct number of wheels).You have been given the assignment of reconstructing Bobo’s inventory. Submit a short report that indicates all possibilities, explaining why you believe you have found them all. Your report must include all of your thinking and must carefully detail and demonstrate the procedures that were used.

Testing PositiveYou are at the doctor’s office to take a blood test to detect a virus called “Alpha.” Before taking this test, you read the scientific research about the virus and the screening procedure provided in a brochure. Brochure

Virus Alpha

> The infection rate is very low about ½ of a percent of the population.

> The blood test is 98% accurate detecting Alpha.

86

You left the doctor’s office with a sense of confidence since only half-of-one percent of the general population has virus Alpha.

Three days after your blood test the nurse from the doctor’s office calls and informs you that you have tested positive for virus Alpha. How concerned should you be about this news???
