Math is on the Move!
Math is on the Move is a resource produced by the Brant Haldimand Norfolk District School Board in order to inform parents about what mathematics learning looks like in today’s classroom. This five-part series will take you on a journey to look at some of the major ideas and strategies that teachers are using in our math classrooms to improve student learning. The videos were designed with you, the parent, in mind so that you can use these same ideas when supporting your child with Mathematics learning.
Math on the Move Videos:
1) Math Talk Moves - In this video parents will see the strategies teachers are using to build learning communities where students share their thinking and talk about Math freely. Parents will be given insights into how they can develop these skills while working on Math with their child.
2) Prove it vs. Got It – Rather than just asking students to get an answer and the teacher telling them whether they are right or wrong, students today are being asked to not only provide an answer, but to also provide proof as to how they know they are correct. Parents can support this learning as well by asking the same types of questions of their children as they engage them in Mathematics activities.
3) Math is Everywhere – Parents can help their children with Mathematics by engaging them in a variety of Mathematics activities, especially by pointing out and solving the Mathematics that they use in everyday life.
4) More than One Way – Parents will be invited to journey with students through open ended problems and support the development of their creative Mathematical thinking.
5) We are all Math People – Research has shown how having a growth mindset (understanding that everyone has the ability to learn and succeed) actually improves a student's achievement. Parents can use the simple strategies outlined to help foster a growth mindset in their children.
