Tonight• What I have• The problems of others• Computer lab
Addition and Subtraction Integers –Our Conjectures, Tests, and Generalizations
Differentiating Fraction Subtraction1a. How could you use base ten blocks to model 1/2 - 1/3?1b. How could you use base ten blocks to model fraction
subtraction?2a. Don and his friends at 1/2 of a vegetarian pizza and 2/3
of a pepperoni pizza. Which has more? How much more?
2b. Ian and his friends ate part of a vegetarian pizza and part of a pepperoni pizza. Choose the size of your parts.
Differentiating Fraction Subtraction
3. I subtract 2 fractions and my answer is one half.4. If you subtract thirds from fourths, what would the
difference be?5. Describe a situation where you might need to figure out
3/5 – 1/3.6. 2/3 of the students like apples better than oranges. How
many students might be in the class?7. Why is it sometimes easier to 4/9 – 1/9 rather than
4/9 – 1/5?8. How is subtracting fractions like subtracting whole
numbers? How is it different?
What are the components of effective blackboard use for teaching mathematics?
Background - Components of Japanese Teaching
Blackboard is used to show the flow of the lesson process and to • keep a record of the lesson to help students remember what they need
to do and think• help student see connections of different parts of the lesson and the
lesson progression• contrast and discuss ideas students presented from their solutions• organize student thinking and develop new ideas
Bansho – means board writing – technical term created by Japanese teachers; rarely erase what they write on the blackboard … all recordings have a mathematical meaning and purpose
Hatsumon – asking a question to stimulate students' thinking
Neriage – teacher coordinating student sharing, analysis, and discussion
Matome – teacher summarizing key mathematical ideas from the lesson (Yoshida, 2003; Shimizu, 2005)

1. What dots in this model can be represented by (1+2t)2 – (2(t))2 ?Represent this algebraic model, graphically and numerically using a table of values, quasi variable, and coordinate pairs.
2. What dots in this model can be represented by 4t + 1? How do you know?
Colour code constant
and variable
DURINGWhat Does It Look Like?
• Choose a set of 4 equations that you predict have a mathematical relationship.
• What do the expressions you chose look like, pictorially, in a table of values, and graphically?
• What are key characteristics of a linear relation?• What’s the mathematical relationship between the graphs?
Prom Dress Problem• A few days ago, Veronica and Caroline were both asked to
the prom. That night, they went out to shop for dresses. As they were flipping through the racks, they each found the perfect dress, which cost $80. when they showed each other their dresses, they realize they both wanted the same dress!
• Neither of them had enough that night, but each went home and devised a savings plan to buy the dress. Veronica put $20 aside that night and has been putting aside an additional $5 a day, since then. Caroline put aside $8 the day after they saw the dress and has put in the same amount every day since.
• Today, their friend Heather asks each girl how much she has saved for the dress. She says, “Wow! Caroline has more money saved.” How many days has it been since Veronica and Caroline began saving?
Palette of Problems• Ernesto drives from home to the library at 60 km/h.
Then he drives home. His average speed for the round trip is 50 km/h. At what speed did he drive home from the library?
• A about 40 km/h • B about 43 km/h• C about 50 km/h• D about 55 km/h
• What are the differences between the American and Japanese lessons?
