Overview of course

Scientific/Mathematical Thinking "Labs are too focused on procedure,

leaving students unsure about what they’re supposed to learn, rather than improving their scientific thinking..." Science Labs: Beyond Isolationism

What is scientific thinking? What is mathematical thinking?

Pigs and ChickensOnce upon a time, there was a farmer who raised pigs and chickens. One morning, the farmer looked into the barnyard and counted 24 heads and 80 feet.How many pigs and how many chickens are in the barnyard?

Remember: Try to think like a third grader!

The 5Es in Mathematics Identify the 5Es in the "pigs and

chickens" demo lesson. Have you experienced "5E" style

instruction in your math classes? If so, what was your experience like? If not, why do you suppose you have not?

The 5E “inquiry cycle”:Are these representations the same?

Whose perspectives do they represent?

The 5 E’s

(Based On Learning Cycles)5 E Lesson Cycle5 E Lesson Plan

Engage; Explore; Explain; Elaborate; EvaluateInquiry: Hands-on / Minds-on

Engagement

• Students mentally focus on:• An object, problem, situation, or event.

• Students make connections to past (& future) activities, and activate prior knowledge of the topic

• Techniques: Ask a question, draw picture, pose BRIEF challenge, define problem, show discrepant event, acting out problematic situation.

Exploration

• Gives all students common, concrete experiences to build concepts, processes, and skills.

• This provides something for students to talk about, and helps students make sense of information presented in the next section (Explain)

Explanation• Ask students to give their

explanations.• Connect explanations to

experiences in engagement & exploration.

• Present concepts, processes, or skills briefly, simply, clearly, & directly.

• Give opportunities for students to use terms in context.
