1 University of Massachusetts, Amherst Math 113 Math for Elementary School Teachers I Fall 2011 Syllabus of Objectives and Learning Outcomes Overview of the Course This is a mathematics content course which covers the Numbers and Operations strands of the 2011 Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks in Mathematics at a collegiate level. The course helps lay the groundwork for graduate work in elementary mathematics education. It examines the three main categories in the Number and Operations strand of Principles and Standards of School Mathematics (NCTM) understanding numbers, representations, relationships, and number systems; the meanings of operations and relationships among those operations; and reasonable estimation and fluent computation. There are two types of goals in this course: cognitive and affective. To meet the cognitive goals, you will revisit familiar concepts in a more in-depth manner. We will investigate the foundations of the arithmetic in grades 1 through 6 and strengthen your ability to recognize mathematical connections across different representations. The course will focus upon the real number system, place value, the behavior of zero, meanings and models of basic operations, percentages, and modeling operations with fractions, often with the aid of concrete, physical models that enhance understanding. It also examines Basic Number Theory topics, such as factors and multiples, as well as divisibility tests, at both practical and abstract levels. The affective goals are to encourage you to value mathematical thinking as a means of exploring and learning about the world and foster a positive attitude about doing mathematics. Successful Math 113 students will become life-long active learners, readers, and teachers of Numbers and Operations. They will also develop their problem-solving skills by working on a variety of problems. Students will develop skill in constructing and interpreting mathematical reasoning about numbers and operations, and will develop a conceptual understanding of the course material in a learning environment that models the pedagogical foundations of the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks for Mathematics. Candidates preparing to enter the workforce as elementary school teachers are reminded of this excerpt from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Rules 603 CMR 7.00 Regulations for Educator Licensure and Preparation Program Approval: "Candidates shall demonstrate that they possess both fundamental computation skills and comprehensive, in-depth understanding of K-8 mathematics. They must demonstrate not only that they know how to do elementary mathematics, but that they understand and can explain to students, in multiple ways, why it makes sense." Course Objectives Throughout the course the students will be encouraged to use Polya's four-step approach as a framework to problem solving, use various problem-solving strategies. The students will be encouraged to articulate problem-solving approach verbally, in written form, through the use of drawings / diagrams (when appropriate). The course will emphasize multiple representations of every concept discussed and connections among the concepts. Upon successful completion of this course you should be able to 1. Explain and use set notation and Venn diagrams. 2. Use set and number line models with various approaches to perform operations on whole numbers. 3. Recognize and use numeration and place value. 4. Name, classify, and use various properties and algorithms for whole number addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. 5. Recognize the differences between measurement and partitive division and how context can determine the approach. 6. Identify and use various techniques for mental math and estimation 7. Identify the sets of prime and composite numbers 8. Find all factors and the prime factorization of a number. 9. Find the greatest common factor and least common multiple using various methods. 10. Recognize the set of integers and its properties 11. Use set and number line models to perform operations on integers 12. Recognize the set of rational numbers and its properties and the way fractions express relationships of quantities
2 13. Recognize how the unit or whole in fraction operations is determined by the context of the story and the numbers and operations. 14. Compare, order, and perform operations on rational numbers. 15. Use ratios, proportions and per cents to solve problems 16. Understand, interpret, and implement the 8 Standards of Mathematical Practice (see below). Preparation for the MTEL The purpose of this course is to highlight the mathematical content that is used in teaching elementary school, to provide an opportunity for pre-service teacher candidates the mathematical knowledge they will need in order to effectively teach mathematics at the elementary school level. However, this is not an MTEL (Massachusetts Test for Educator Licensure) prep course. The MTEL is designed to test the knowledge you will acquire through this course, but this course is not designed, specifically, for preparing you for that test. Sample MTEL Questions are available online: MA_FLD009_PRACTICE_TEST.pdf MTEL Requirements for Number and Operations Understand number theory, the structure of numeration systems, and the properties of the real number system. For example: place value (including base ten and other bases); order relations; the relationships between operations (e.g., multiplication as repeated additions); factors and divisibility; prime and composite numbers; prime factorization; rational and irrational numbers; properties (e.g., closure, distributive, associative) of the real number system; operations and their inverses; the real number line; roots and powers; the laws of exponents; scientific notation; and proof of theorems using number properties (e.g., the product of two even numbers is even). Understand principles and operations related to fractions. For example: multiple representations of fractions (e.g., area and set models); multiple representations of operations involving fractions; equivalent fractions; addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions; comparison, ordering, and estimation of fractions; placement on a number line; simplification of fractions; mixed numbers and improper fractions; the relationship between properties of fractions and the development of algebraic concepts; and problems involving fractions. Understand principles and operations related to decimals and per cents. For example: multiple representations of decimals; addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of decimals; ordering decimals and placement on a number line; terminating and repeating decimals; rounding and estimation; conversion among decimals, per cents, and fractions; the relationship between properties of decimals and the development of algebraic concepts; and problems involving decimals and per cents. Understand principles and operations related to integers. For example: order of operations; identity and inverse elements; associative, commutative, and distributive properties; absolute value; operations with signed numbers; multiple representations of number operations (e.g., area models); rounding and estimation; standard algorithms for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division; number operations and their inverses; the origins and development of standard computational algorithms; the relation- ship between properties of integers and the development of algebraic concepts; and problems involving integers. Relevant NCTM Standards Number and Operations with Procedural Fluency Proficiency with number and operations requires the deep and fundamental understanding of counting numbers, rational numbers (fractions, decimals, and per cents), and positive and negative numbers, beginning in the elementary and middle grades. This understanding is extended to other number systems. Students must demonstrate understanding of numbers and relationships among numbers with a focus on the place-value system. Students must develop understanding of number operations and how they relate to one another. Written mathematical procedures computational procedures in the elementary grades and more symbolic algebraic procedures as students move into the secondary level continue to be an important focus of school mathematics programs. Equally important is the ability to be comfortable and competent with estimation and mental math. As students develop number sense, they acquire abilities to estimate and perform mental calculations quickly and proficiently. Students should become proficient at using mental math shortcuts, performing basic computations mentally, and generating reasonable estimates for situations involving size, distance, and magnitude.
3 Tentative Course Sequence Week Topics Elaboration Introduction to Problem Solving Reasoning about numbers Place Value Sets Whole Number Operations Addition and Subtraction Multiplication and Division Algorithms for Whole Number Operations Factors: GCF and LCM Standard and alternative algorithms Analyze the structures and properties of the base-10 and other numeral systems (e.g., expanded form of a number, visual representations of place value, numeration systems of ancient cultures). Begin to see teaching as highly intricate and precise work. Learn to see and attend to the work of teaching (which is often invisible to observers of classroom interactions), including the mathematical knowledge, skills, and dispositions involved in teaching mathematics. Begin to appreciate the high levels of skill, coordination, and precision involved in teaching Evaluate the validity of nonstandard or unfamiliar computational strategies. Recognize and analyze various representations (e.g., graphic, pictorial, verbal) of number operations. Recognize relationships among operations (e.g., addition and subtraction, addition and multiplication, multiplication and exponentiation). Identify and apply the arithmetic properties and the transitive properties of equality and inequality. Integrate the order of operations with arithmetic properties. Demonstrate fluency in arithmetic computation. Apply appropriate strategies (e.g., proportional thinking, ratios) to estimate quantities in real-world situations. Solve problems using arithmetic operations with various representations of numbers. Analyze and justify standard and nonstandard computational algorithms and mental math techniques (e.g., by application of the arithmetic properties, such as commutative, associative, distributive). Identify prime and composite numbers and their characteristics. Find the least common multiple (LCM) and greatest common factor (GCF) of a set of numbers. Use Venn diagram as one of the methods for solving problems. Demonstrate knowledge of the divisibility rules and why they work. 5 Estimation and mental math Representations and language for fractions 6 Fractions: Exploring Units 7 8 Fractions: Focusing on units Division of fractions Partitive and measurement interpretations of division Fractions: Explaining algorithms Analyze and determine the reasonableness of estimates. Begin to understand that fractions can be represented in different ways and can be invested with different meanings (e.g., as parts of a whole, as division, as operators, as points on the number line, etc.). This class is designed to develop language for talking about features of representations and about fractions, and to develop skill in using mathematical representations. Learn the importance of attending to the whole or unit when working with fractions. Develop representations for solving a problem and to attend to and make sense of a variety of explanations. To build correspondences among representations, and to construct explanations and to begin to develop criteria for what counts as a good mathematical explanation. The task explicated in this class surfaces a range of representations and solution methods that center around several common approaches. This class is organized around a complex multi-stage story problem involving fractions in which the unit or whole changes at each stage of the problem. Work on the problem surfaces a range of representations and solution methods that center around a several common approaches. Develop a sense of connection between division and fractions and to develop a more explicit understanding of the idea that fractions can be interpreted as division (including the idea that the answer to is. Evaluate and write story problems for the expression as a way to explore the meaning of division of fractions and to carefully map the context of a story and the numbers and operations in an expression. Solidify understanding of the importance of the unit or whole in fractions, to manage units that are composites of individual objects, and to explore the subtleties of implicit language about units. One important goal is to develop skill in opening fraction problems and seeing and naming what makes them confusing. Attend to language in the context of fractions and division (e.g., dividing in half vs. dividing by half.) Explore why multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number generates an equivalent fraction, to explore how to represent the multiplication of fractions, and to explain the standard algorithm for multiplying fractions. This class provides an opportunity for prospective teachers to develop an understanding of why some of the standard algorithms for operating with fractions work. Locate a range of numbers on the number line as a way to articulate key properties of the number
4 9 Fractions on the number line 10 Units and the interpretation of fractions 11 Decimals and Percent 12 Ratio and Proportion 13 Integers Addition and Subtraction Locate a range of numbers on the number line as a way to articulate key properties of the number line. Continue to explore properties of the number line, focusing on the property of density. Understand the number line as a unifying representation for locating number systems: counting numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, and real numbers. Understand that fractions begin to fill in the spaces between integers on the number line, and that between any two fractions on the number line, there is always another fraction (so there are infinitely many fractions between any two) Revisit the representations of examined earlier, practice explaining and representing other fractions in multiple ways, and make connections across the work in this class. Recognize and name what you have learned (as a group and individually) about fractions and the skills developed for representing and explaining mathematical ideas. Recognize decimal expansions. Recognize equivalent representations of numbers (e.g., fractions, decimals, percents). In this class, the study of ratio and proportion will refer to the ability to scale up and down in appropriate situations and supply justifications for assertions made in situations involving simple direct proportions and inverse proportions (Lamon, 2005, p. 3). Proportional reasoning is the bridge between rational numbers and related multiplicative concepts. Analyze and convert among various representations of numbers (e.g., graphic, numeric, symbolic, verbal). Identify subsets of the real numbers (e.g., integer, rational, irrational) and their characteristics. Interpret the concept of absolute value. 14 Integers Multiplication and Division Comprehensive Final Exam Understand the meanings and models of integers, fractions, decimals, percents, and mixed numbers and apply them to the solution of word problems. Pedagogical Philosophy One of the course objectives is to model standards of practice that form a fundamental component of the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks (see below) and embody the ideal modes of thought for the teaching and learning of mathematics at every level of discourse. Thus, the course is designed to educate students to become active participants (rather than passive observers) in the mathematical experience, and to encourage them to educate their future students in the same spirit. This may be done using some or all of the following approaches: o Using manipulatives and technology as tools for understanding mathematical concepts, solving problems, and preparing them to employ these manipulatives effectively in their classrooms in the future. o Small group work; o Emphasis on student verbal explanation of problem-solving processes rather than just providing answers; verbally explaining or defending solutions can help develop students mathematical thinking, as well as articulation skills; o Increasing students self-reliance on checking solutions leads to deeper mathematical thinking. Students must be required to think about whether or not their answers make sense. They also have to think about the problem further to devise a way to check the solution. Instructors must encourage an atmosphere of dialogue and deep understanding in the classroom. o The Constructivist approach to learning is emphasized: students discover and build mathematical concepts themselves, rather than just memorizing them without really understanding. Knowledge is acquired in greater depth and is more efficiently retained if it can be connected with the learner s pre-existing knowledge. It cannot be assumed that learners will make the connections without help. The connections of new material to other knowledge structures must be made, and in keeping with the self-reliance issue raised earlier, the connections should be made by the students themselves whenever possible; o Developing multiple problem-solving strategies (estimating, drawing a diagram, discovering patterns, constructing a table, etc.) that are applicable to a wide variety of situations. Standards of Mathematical Practice
5 The Standards for Mathematical Practice are embedded in a fundamental manner in the new Massachusetts Curricular Frameworks for Mathematics. One of the key challenges of teaching mathematics K-12 in the coming years will be to understand, interpret and translate items 1-8 below, which are mere words on the page, into patterns of thinking and practice for teachers and students. These standards describe varieties of expertise that mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students. These practices rest on important processes and proficiencies with longstanding importance in mathematics education. The first of these are the NCTM process standards of problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, representation, and connections. The second are the strands of mathematical proficiency specified in the National Research Council s report Adding It Up: adaptive reasoning, strategic competence, conceptual understanding (comprehension of mathematical concepts, operations and relations), procedural fluency (skill in carrying out procedures flexibly, accurately, efficiently and appropriately), and productive disposition (habitual inclination to see mathematics as sensible, useful, and worthwhile, coupled with a belief in diligence and one s own efficacy). 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Looks for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
