Enjoy the activities. Engage in the mathematics. Be an active participant: listen,talk,question, explore, persist, wonder, predict summarize, synthesize.
The more the student becomes the teacher and the more the teacher becomes the learner, then the more successful the outcomes. (John Hattie, 2009, Visible Learning )

A large cube is constructed from individual unit cubes and then dipped into paint. When the paint has dried, it is disassembled into the original unit cubes. You are told that 486 of these unit cubes have exactly one face painted. How many unit cubes were used to construct the large cube? How many of the unit cubes have . two faces painted, three faces painted, no faces painted?
As teachers of mathematics, we want our students not only to understand what they think but also to be able to articulate how they arrived at those understandings. (Schuster & Canavan Anderson, 2005
We need to unpack outcomes and develop rubrics for all 3 courses. We will try to share the work-load across the teachers. Supports available Templates (Curriculum Corner or handouts) Curricular Documents (online or in print) Textbook Resources Please forward completed documents to myself for posting on Curriculum Corner.
Contextualization and making connections to the experiences of learners are powerful processes in developing mathematical understanding. When mathematical ideas are connected to each other or to real- world phenomena, students begin to view mathematics as useful, relevant, and integrated. (FM 20 Page 15)
