Add your district s logo Envisioning together! Making Math Meaningful for Every Student Template for Parent Night Math Visioning Meeting
The big questions for our meeting: What is working well in our math programs? (How do we know this?) What shifts are needed? (Why do we believe this?)
Before we start answering these questions, let s learn a bit about the vision for math across Oregon
Engineering Inequity: The Story of Modern Mathematics Education in the United States Where We Are: Math as a Filter Where We Want to Be: Math as a Pump
Connecting Activity How does math education act like a filter ? Think of your own math story. What filtering did you experience? How did this impact you? Moving to a pump How can we make math learning match the ways we use math in our modern lives? What changes in our math program would help all of our students enjoy math? What changes would help all of our students reach their college and career goals?
Oregon Math Project The Oregon Department of Education s ongoing project to make math meaningful for every student The Four Cornerstones of the Oregon Math Project Areas of work The Future: Math as a Pump
Lets experience math that is based on these cornerstones Suggestion: Do a math lesson together so families understand how you are improving experiences for students Possible model for Elementary audience, Possible model for HS audience Improvement: Adapt this task for your geographical area Even better: Use a modern, data-rich math task that is now a part of your HS 2+1 courses!
Did you see any connections with the Oregon Math Project cornerstones?
Time to think about our districts math program What is working well in our math programs? (How do we know this?) What shifts are needed? (Why do we believe this?)
Share Out What is working well in our math programs? (How do we know this?) What shifts are needed? (Why do we believe this?)
Next Steps 1. We will organize your ideas and look for themes 2. We are also doing this activity with other groups (Adjust as needed: students, teachers, etc.) 3. We will share our priorities and action steps for math work (Adjust as needed: over email, newsletter, etc)
