Best Practices in Math Curriculum Standards Implementation (2)The CfBT Training Pack: The CfBT Training Pack is a very valuable tool of professional development. It contains a series of workshops that have been conducted during 2005 by a highly professional team, which provided training about the best practices to implement the curriculum standards of English, Science and Math. This Training Pack is so valuable that it is actually now considered to be a reference for a lot of trainers and advisory teachers while supporting teachers within the IS. The Teachers’ Network is happy to put this Training Pack online. Each series of workshops related to a specific subject is going to be put in the form of PDF folders.
The Math CfBT Training Pack : The Math CfBT Training Pack includes the full and comprehensive content of 5 full day mathematics workshops. The five days were divided in the form of 16 training sessions.
Aims of the workshops: The purpose of the five-day mathematics workshops is to consider the curriculum standards for mathematics and to discuss the implications for planning the curriculum, teaching, learning and assessment. The workshops aim to help subject leaders and teachers to:
Many of the sessions in the second workshop have different themes, depending on the age range of students in the school.
Objectives of Workshop Two: Day 1: Developing number sense 1 Session 1: Place value By the end of the session you will: • have explored a range of place value activities you could use in your lessons; • have identified activities to remedy students’ misconceptions of and problems with place value.
Sessions 2 and 3: Mental calculation 1 and 2 By the end of Sessions 2 and 3 you will: • have identified and discussed strategies for calculating mentally; • have considered the role of recording in mental work.
Session 4: Working with measures By the end of the session you will: • have considered activities to teach aspects of work on measures: choosing appropriate units, estimating measures, reading scales, converting and comparing measures; • have considered some ICT resources for supporting work on measures.
Day 2: Developing number sense 2 Session 5: Mental activities and assessment By the end of the session you will: • have discussed some activities to keep mental skills sharp; • have considered the assessment of mental skills.
Session 6: Written calculations 1: addition and subtraction By the end of the session you will: • have considered approaches to written methods for addition and subtraction.
Session 7: Written calculations 2: multiplication and division By the end of the session you will: • have considered approaches to written methods for multiplication and division.
Day 3 (Grades 1 to 4): Developing number sense 3 Session 8a: Early number work 1 By the end of the session you will: • understand what is involved in helping young children to count and calculate.
Session 9a: Early number work 2 By the end of the session you will: • know which are the most important areas in early number work; • have considered models and images that help children to understand and develop skills in these areas.
Session 10a: Number games and puzzles By the end of the session you will: • have considered a range of games and puzzles to develop and practise number skills in Grades 1 to 4.
Day 3 (Grades 5 to 9): Developing number sense 3 Session 8b: Fractions, decimals and percentages By the end of the session you will: • have discussed how students learn; • have seen how visualisation is a key component in teaching fractions; • have considered some strategies for teaching that are consistent across grades.
Session 9b: Calculators By the end of the session you will: • have considered how to teach students to use a calculator, and some of the difficulties that they can have; • have tried out some calculator activities to use in lessons.
Day 4: Geometry and word problems Session 11 and 12: Geometry 1 and 2 By the end of Sessions 11 and 12 you will: • have explored activities involving angles and shapes; • have considered how to help students to understand angle; • have considered how practical work underpins more advanced analytical work in later grades.
Session 13: Solving word problems By the end of the session you will: • be familiar with the range of skills students need to solve word problems; • have considered how to teach these skills.
Day 5: Problem solving Session 14: Problems and investigations 1 By the end of the session you will: • have considered different kinds of mathematical problems and puzzles; • have considered the strategies that students can use to solve these problems.
Session 15: Problems and investigations 2 By the end of the session you will: • have considered what is important about investigation work in mathematics; • have tried out some investigation activities to use in lessons; • have considered some strategies to get students started on an investigation.
Session 16: The interactive whiteboard By the end of the session you will: • have viewed and discussed some ICT resources; • have considered how the workshop should be followed up in school.
