A Prayer for Math Teachers:Lord, as we gather here today, we pray for your guidance…
You were there when Jesus multiplied the loaves and fishes, and when Moses divided the Red Sea.
We ask that you be with us now.
Help us trust that your highest power will be our guide.
Help us to be a positive influence on our students.
Help us to be a fraction of the teacher Jesus was.
Help us to recognize the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
Amen

Catholic Board Learning Plan (CBLP) 2010-2013 SMART Goal: Increasing student achievement on EQAO
assessments (3, 6 & 9) by 5% by 2013 Foundational Practices:
Ontario Curriculum and ministry support documents are the primary sources for all mathematics instruction.
The mathematical processes described in the Ontario Curriculum are used throughout all mathematics instruction.
A minimum of 60 minutes is provided daily for mathematical instruction. The diverse learning needs of EACH student are supported by mathematical
instruction, assessment and evaluation that are varied in nature and provide multiple opportunities to demonstrate learning.
The comprehensive list of strategies that relate to effective mathematics instruction are used regularly.
Expected Practice: By June 2013, all mathematics instruction will be delivered using a 3-part lesson model

Graffiti 3-Part Lessons Each table will receive a chart paper with one
of the 3 parts of a lesson and either teacher actions or student actions
Using your table’s coloured marker, you are write everything you know about the topic on the chart paper
The papers will be rotated. For each rotation your group will add to the list already written.
Once all the paper have rotated to all the groups, they will be posted on the wall

Learning Tools
Learning tools for Mathematics can be either: Concrete (manipulatives) Virtual (technology)
Learning tools have been used in mathematics instruction since the 1960s and research has measured their impact.
![Page 11: Mathematics Professional Learning Menu: Effective Use of Learning Tools: Day 1](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070416/568151c6550346895dbffb28/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What the Research Says A focus on deep learning of particular mathematics topics –
through a variety of strategies, including working with concrete materials – leads to greater conceptual depth (Ben-Chaim, Fey, Fitzgerald, Benedetto, & Miller, 1998; Fletcher, Hope, & Wagner, 2001; Siemon et al., 2001).
Manipulatives allow students to concretely explore mathematical relationships that will later be translated into symbolic form. The key to the successful use of manipulatives lies in the bridge – which must be built by the teacher – between the artifact and the underlying mathematical concepts (D’Ambrosio et al., 1993). The mathematics is in the connections, not the objects (Kilpatrick & Swafford, 2002).

What the Research Says Studies on the use of manipulatives by students
described as low achievers, at risk, having behaviour problems, or with limited English proficiency have found positive effects on achievement (Ruzic & O’Connell, 2004).
Even at the secondary level, manipulatives are necessary tools for supporting the effective learning of mathematics. … By analysing students’ concrete representations of mathematical concepts and listening carefully to their reasoning, teachers can gain useful insights into students’ thinking and provide supports to help enhance their thinking (Grade 9&10 Curriculum Document, p23)

Don’t Typecast Manipulatives In your group, discuss
math concepts you could use for each manipulative: Geoboards Tangrams Colour Tiles Linking Cubes Others?
Share with the whole group

Closing Thoughts:
The most influential factor in improving student achievement is not
demographics, socio-economic status, or classroom resources, but rather
more effective teaching!
Robert J. Marzano, Classroom Instruction that Works, 2001
![Page 23: Mathematics Professional Learning Menu: Effective Use of Learning Tools: Day 1](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070416/568151c6550346895dbffb28/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Closing Thoughts:
It is only natural for me to wantthem to be successful, but by
merely telling them the answers, doing things for them, or showing
them shortcuts, I relieve students of their responsibilities and deprive them of the opportunity to make
sense of the mathematics they arelearning.
