   A makeoverfor math class
• 3.
   High SchoolMath teacher  Sells a product to a market that doesn’t want it but is forced to buy it.  He expects no higher than a 25% pass rate if he gave an algebra exam
• 4.
  Computation Math Reasoning  Thestuff we as adults  The application of math have forgotten  For example, factoring quadratic equations  Also easy to relearn provided you have a very strong grounding in math reasoning processes to the world around us  What we would love students to retain even if they don’t go into mathematical fields  The way we teach it in the U.S. ensures we won’t retain it
• 5.
   Lack ofinitiative: students don’t self-start  Lack of perseverance  Lack of retention: You have to re-explain concepts  Aversion to word problems  Eagerness for formula
• 6.
   Present avisual  Ask a question  Encourage discussion  Apply labels and measurements  Apply mathematical structure  Develop sub steps to solve

  “The formulation ofa problem is often more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skill.” –Albert Einstein
• 8.
   Use multimedia Encourage student intuition  Ask the shortest question you can  Let students build the problem  Be less helpful
• 9.
   Against “Answer-Getting” Ordinary teacher developing high performance teachers in Japan  High performing teachers producing ordinary student in USA
• 10.
   USA teachersteach for students to get answers  Japan teachers teach to the mathematics for the student to be able to solve the problem  Math is suppose to taught for students to learn mathematics
• 11.
   Why solveproblems?  Answers are the product  Answers are a part of the process  Correct answers  Are important  Should not be solve mission
• 12.
   Is aopportunity to find out why the answer is incorrect  Helps student to see the problem differently  Gives an opportunity to clarify the mathematics of the problem
• 13.
   Student don’ttry to understand the problem  They try to make anything come out even  There is no need to make sense of the problem just get a even answer and move on
