Improving Open Responses in Math 8:30 am - 3:30 pm Lycoming College - Wertz Center, Jane Schultz Room Williamsport, PA 17701 United States Open response questions in math, questions that ask students to show or explain answers, are often the most difficult questions for students to solve. They also present a unique window into student thinking. The purpose of this workshop is to understand why students struggle with these types of questions and then develop strategies that produce complete and thorough answers. Participants will learn techniques to get every student involved in mathematical thinking and show students how to take more responsibility for learning. There will be a special emphasis on checking for understanding, improving mathematical vocabulary, deepening math concepts through problem solving, and reading strategies for word problems in math. Participants will learn how to use focused criteria to score open response answers and create great math assignments. All examples align with the Pennsylvania Core Standards. Critical Strategies: 1. Build fluency and writing in math: quick writes and quick quizzes 2. Check for understanding: 1 Penny White Boards 3. Students as teachers: Quiz Quiz Trade 4. Deepen understanding by oral review: Pepper Cards 5. Build Vocabulary: Sorts, visuals, and games 6. Attack the questions: Preview/Mark it/Look back 7. Better answers: KNSA (know, need to find/do, steps, answer) 8. Know the graphics (build collections of key images) More about the presenter: https://www.smore.com/jxxmh For questions, please email LKlym@iu17.orgPlease register for this event at http://www.elrnr.org | 09/28/2017 | 09/29/2017 | 09/30/2017 |
