Developing Mathematical Ideas: Measuring Space in One, Two, and Three Dimensions (Grades K - 8)
Description: In a culture of communal
inquiry, participants will delve into the complex relationships between
measures of length, area, and volume, and how various formulas for measure are derived
and why they make sense.

Outcomes: The MS123 seminar is designed to bring together teachers
from Kindergarten through middle grades to:
|
|
Analyze the key mathematical ideas of linear,
area, and volume measurement and understand how formulas for measure are
derived;
|
|
|
Learn
how these core mathematical ideas develop from Kindergarten through grade 8,
including what many students find especially challenging |
|
|
Consider the types of classroom settings and
teaching strategies that support the development of student understanding;
|
|
|
Recognize
how the CCSSM mathematical practices arise in this content and learn to engage students
in the practices, with particular focus on MP1 (make sense of problems and
persevere in solving them), MP5 (use appropriate tools strategically), and MP7
(look for and make use of structure). |
