Abstract: |
Developing Mathematical Ideas (DMI) is designed to help K-8 teachers learn the mathematics needed for their teaching. Consisting of seven modules, each focuses on a particular mathematical theme (e.g., Building a System of Tens, Examining Features of Shape, or Patterns, Functions, and Change). By integrating the study of mathematics content with analyses of cases, both print and video, teachers are better positioned to interpret the mathematical conversations documented in the cases. At the same time, sets of cases allow teachers to see how the mathematics they are learning arises in different contexts with students of different ages. In this session, we will view a set of video cases and then discuss the mathematics the students are shown engaging in |
