Imap Integrating Mathematics And Pedagogy PDF Download

The IMAP (Integrating Mathematics and Pedagogy) Searchable DVD and Facilitator's Guide features a unique collection of over three hundred video clips, images, and resources which capture a range of K-5 school children's mathematical reasoning and demonstrate prominent aspects of the children's solutions. Designed to support professional development (PD) facilitators, math coaches and their teachers, these resources, when used in PD settings, give teachers the opportunity to consider the mathematics and grapple with issues of mathematics teaching and learning as they arise in the context of children's thinking. Proven to enhance teacher reflection and promote growth in teachers' content knowledge of mathematics, these videos foster better understanding of the ways students approach problem-solving; illustrate the unique and creative ways children think mathematically; and underscore the importance of precise language and questioning in the teaching of mathematics. The video medium provides opportunities for us as teachers to be critically reflective--we can see our actions in others; enables us to watch many examples of instruction in non-threatening ways; provides us opportunities to see that children's approaches to mathematics and mathematical thinking differ from adults' approaches; raises expectations of what students can do; and enables us to model questioning techniques in a safe way. What makes the IMAP DVD and Facilitator's Guide an indispensable resource? Contains 232 high-quality video clips that illustrate elementary children's mathematical thinking and approaches to problem-solving, each with an introduction Provides easy-to-use, searchable video that is categorized by math content covered, math solution strategy used by students, teaching/interviewing issues, and other miscellaneous topics (technology used, Spanish speaker, wrong answer, etc.) Features transcripts with every video clip Features Clip Info descriptions with every video clip and references to related clips. Includes Problems and Video Preparation and Discussion questions with every video clip Provides over 160 screen captures (in JPG format) of student work Offers a variety of additional resources including Interview Guides and glossary of terms Created so it's easy to use with any other kind of professional development approach Perfect for professional development workshops, the accompanying Facilitator's Guide provides philosophy and context for using the DVD materials, a detailed appendix of all clips and their descriptions, search terms, and related materials as well as guidance for staff developers, coaches and instructors to integrate the video clips (with specific examples) into a variety of teacher learning activities.
