This week we are going to watch a video that shows some of the mathematical practices in action. Get your popcorn ready!
READING AND MEDIA:
1) Navigating the Mathematics CCSS, rest of Chapter 3 (p. 64-75)
2) View the video of Exemplary Lesson with Fran Dickinson’s 5th and 6th graders.

THIS WEEK’S PROMPT:
- PART A: Fran Dickinson planned the lesson to include mathematical practices #1, 3, 4, 5, and 7. Give specific evidence of where you see these mathematical practices in the video.
- PART B: The mathematical practices are not intended to be taught in isolation. How did Fran integrate the practices with the content standards in his lesson?
DUE DATES:
- by Monday: Your initial response to the prompt should be posted.
- by next Thursday: Revisit this site and respond to at least one of your fellow participant’s comments.
If you need help posting your comment, watch this video.
