Get to know your students, help them to get to know each other, and being to develop a sense of classroom community.

‍

This lesson is about sharing personal and community values.

‍

‍

This lesson is about help students learn the skills of “noticing” and “probing.”

‍

‍

A follow-on from day 3, this lesson is designed to help students learn the skills of actually practicing and implementing “noticing” and “probing.”

‍

This lesson is designed to introduce students to the idea that mathematics classrooms are natural settings for exploring the social topics that they care about, because quantitative reasoning is a necessary part of virtually any conversation about real-world issues (e.g., poverty rates, unemployment rates, or worker wages).

This lesson is intended to help students define and characterize three executive functions: working memory, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility and to think about how these cognitive functions are relevant to math, games, and the real world. As an added bonus, this lesson reviews multiples. 

This lesson is intended to help students see how the executive functions (working memory, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility) play a role when solving math problems.

This lesson is intended to introduce key mindsets that impact student math achievement. 

‍

This lesson is intended to help students apply the growth and math mindsets they learned on Day 1 to work positively and productively in groups with their peers.

This lesson is intended to reiterate the growth and math mindsets discussed on Day 1 as well as allow students to practice identifying patterns. Math is all about making sense of patterns that can be used to make generalizations and predictions that help us navigate our world. Our goal is to have students understand there are many ways to visualize and solve the same problem in math.
