Title: Tasks examining students’
quantitative reasoning
Description:
Researchers and writers of the Common Core State Standard have recently
(re)emphasized the need for students, and their teachers, to reason
quantitatively.
But
what does quantitative reasoning mean to people who are not experts of this
idea? How do teachers see quantitative reasoning occurring in their classroom?
In
this presentation, participants will have the opportunity to think about these
questions in small groups. After groups share their ideas, he will present some
of the findings from his research on teacher ways of thinking about
quantitative reasoning.
Finally,
we will have a whole group discussion about the findings, how they relate to
the small group discussions, and the potential implication of this information
on mathematics teacher education. Location: BBH 222
