Emphasize the connections between science and mathematics by using a performance (or authentic) assessment format.

This series of problems is based on the characters and
themes in “Black Dog,” by Pamela Allen. The picture book is not essential to
the teaching. However, it is used as an engagement tool that gives context for
the following story-based problems and mastering number, pattern, and algebraic
reasoning.

Two video clips illustrate communication about mathematics among a teacher and her students.
Pre-K-2, 3-5
Become confident in facts up to 12 x 12 using visual models that stress the conceptual
aspects of multiplication.
3-5, 6-8
The objective of this lesson is to use combinations to solve KenKen puzzles. An early solution strategy is for students to guess and check and use logic-based elimination. This lesson builds on those strategies by having students systematically list all possible combinations within each cage, the darkly outlined sections of the puzzle.

This lesson is based on the MTLT article, “Inquiry + Math Workshop Model = Success!” by Tutita M. Casa, Kathryn O'Connor, and Emma Dearborne. The lesson demonstrates the use of a workshop model that engages students in developing strategies to solve an authentic multiplication task.3-5
This lesson is based on the MTLT article, “Playing with Fractions” by Juli K. Dixon, Treshonda Rutledge, Jennifer C. Caton, and Edward C. Nolan. In this lesson students model fractions with a fraction kit and reason about adding fractions with unlike denominators. 3-5
Based on an MTLT article, the authors implement a coordinated series of well-connected number talks that allow for students to make sense of a variety of strategies that provide “flexibility” in their mathematical reasoning when comparing fractions.
