Traditional Math Lesson:
•Teacher directed
•Text books
•Teachers centered with
teachers relaying their learning with teacher talk
•Concepts taught in
isolation
• Only one way to reach
the answer is taught
•Paper pencil tasks
•Students work as
individuals
•Rote learning through
drill and memorization
Three-Part Math Lesson:
•Hands-on activities
•Relevant application
and connections to real life
•Students work in small
groups to complete tasks
•Student talk
•Students can problem
solve and discuss solutions and ways to solve, showing their thinking
•Teacher is facilitator
•Open-ended
Commonalities Between Both Lessons:
•Question and answer
•Student practice
•Whole class
instruction
•Mathematical language
•Students learn symbols
and facts (i.e., addition and subtraction signs etc)
