Day+4


 * Session 4 : Monday**

Participants will:
 * **Outcomes**
 * Brainstorm ideas and develop strategies to differentiate tasks so that they become accessible to all students.
 * Use manipulatives to develop conceptual understanding.
 * Solve problems using multiple representations.

Unit 1 A.CED.1  Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from //linear and quadratic functions//, and simple rational and exponential functions. ||  ||
 * Mathematics Goals and Content Standards: **
 * __**Agenda**__
 * __**Agenda**__

Share open-ended questions within your group. Select one per group to share out with the class.
 * Warm Up**


 * Presentation: Making Tasks Accessible to All Students**


 * Jumping Worthwhile Math Task Waves**
 * Varied Levels-Task #7 Growing Staircases
 * Varied Levels- As a group, choose a task from last week or choose a different task. Create different levels. How could you scaffold the task. (Task #8)

Final Planning for mini lesson presentations. Participate as a student or a teacher in lessons that unlock the doors to the development of conceptual understanding of Algebraic topics.
 * Skill Surfing**

Novice Assistance Document Camera; Pencasts; Chicken Problem


 * Presentation:Using Algebra Tiles**


 * Jumping Worthwhile Math Task Waves**
 * Finding Prices Follow Up- Pencasts; Student Videos
 * Task #9 Toothpick Squares[[file:9 toothpickproblem.pdf]]

 * 1) **Lesson Plan Floating** Work on your lesson plan.
 * 2) Think about one task or activity that you have done that could be modified for students of different levels. Be prepared to share tomorrow.
 * 3) **On Deck Reading, Soaking, and Absorbing Upper Deck Discussions** __Accessible Mathematics__ Chapter 4: //Picture It, Draw It Read the selection.// Write a reflection surrounding the following prompts: Discuss the value of asking follow up questions in mathematics class once a correct answer is given by a student. Explain how the use of multiple representations impact the classroom environment for both weaker and stronger mathematics students. Post your reflection. Read the post of one other shipmate. Respond to their post.
 * 4) __Reminder__: On Friday during class you were to find a task to evaluate and share. Task share tomorrow. Bring 3 copies of your task to share. Mini lesson presentations also begin tomorrow.
