A1 Learning math through real situations rather than abstract problems #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Jan 12 @ 9:11 PM EST

Question 1 of the evening. What is contextualized math to YOU? #SwDMathChat

normabgordon Jan 12 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: discovering a concept or using a skill is meaningfully and purposefully connected to a reason for "doing the "math" #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Jan 12 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: This is a hard Q, because I think almost everything is contextualized math, but I’ll just say solving real world math probs #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Jan 12 @ 9:07 PM EST

First question of the evening! #SwDMathChat

SurfingMathman Jan 12 @ 9:12 PM EST

Contextualized math = the source of concepts and skills. #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Jan 12 @ 9:13 PM EST

This is a great point, Andrew. All about POV I suppose! Doesn't have to be "Real world" #SwDMathChat

In reply to @anyaostapczuk

jennifuhs4 Jan 12 @ 9:14 PM EST

Moving to Q2 #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Jan 12 @ 9:14 PM EST

Exactly. I think any problem is a context for doing math. Playing a math game is a context for doing math. #SwDMathChat

In reply to @jennifuhs4

anyaostapczuk Jan 12 @ 9:15 PM EST

A1: students using math skills to solve real world problems #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Jan 12 @ 9:15 PM EST

Absolutely! I think many Ts think context means real world and force a real world context on a problem #SwDMathChat

In reply to @bkdidact

anyaostapczuk Jan 12 @ 9:15 PM EST

HI Norma!!! How've you been. #SwDMathChat

In reply to @normabgordon

bkdidact - Moderator Jan 12 @ 9:16 PM EST

A2: Yes, Students w/ disabilities tend to struggle to understand abstraction, so starting with the concrete does tend to help. #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Jan 12 @ 9:14 PM EST

Moving to Q2 #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Jan 12 @ 9:16 PM EST

Yes! One of many ways to contextualize math, an important one too. #SwDMathChat

In reply to @anyaostapczuk

anndurham13 Jan 12 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2 Helps all students make connections and see how concepts relate and work together #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Jan 12 @ 9:17 PM EST

Yup! too frequently I hear "when will I ever use this?" when math has been taught without context #SwDMathChat

In reply to @bkdidact

1pmorris Jan 12 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2: Make meaningful connections; help commit concepts/procedures to long-term memory #SwDMathChat

SurfingMathman Jan 12 @ 9:17 PM EST

I sometime have trouble with the term "Real World Problems," possibly because I'm not sure where the boundaries are. #SwDMathChat

anyaostapczuk Jan 12 @ 9:17 PM EST

Students who can visually see the math and how to use it are far more likely to Be able to retain and apply it later #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Jan 12 @ 9:17 PM EST

Connections are so important! How many of our Ss miss them? #SwDMathChat

In reply to @anndurham13

normabgordon Jan 12 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2: contextualization a) engages (if done well) b) scaffolds thinking since allows Ss to tap into prior knowledge & reasoning #SwDMathChat

SurfingMathman Jan 12 @ 9:18 PM EST

But mainly because I think the theoretical space is important, and informs the real world. Both are a context. #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Jan 12 @ 9:18 PM EST

What is the distinction between contextualized math & concrete contexts for doing math? #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Jan 12 @ 9:18 PM EST

Great point. Must be done well! Prior knowledge helps with our struggling Ss. Low entry point! #SwDMathChat

In reply to @normabgordon

jennifuhs4 Jan 12 @ 9:18 PM EST

In reply to @anyaostapczuk

tperran Jan 12 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2: I think connections is the important term here. It helps students see the math in terms that are relevant to them. #SwDMathChat

Q3 is here but Q2.5 is a good one "What is the distinction between contextualized math & concrete contexts for doing math?" #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Jan 12 @ 9:22 PM EST

So would you say, contextualization would be a good follow-up to C-R-A? #SwDMathChat

In reply to @normabgordon, @jennifuhs4

jennifuhs4 Jan 12 @ 9:22 PM EST

Absolutely. That can mean real world or it can mean within a context/model which they make sense of! #SwDMathChat

In reply to @tperran

mathconfidence Jan 12 @ 9:22 PM EST

#SwDMathChat A3 s's may always expect context when sometimes you may want them to 'just do Math'

bkdidact - Moderator Jan 12 @ 9:23 PM EST

A3: I think @normabgordon hit the nail on the head. Dangers are pigeon-holing thinking and limiting transfer of knowledge. #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Jan 12 @ 9:21 PM EST

Q3 is here but Q2.5 is a good one "What is the distinction between contextualized math & concrete contexts for doing math?" #SwDMathChat

A3: If too "wordy" then literacy struggles impeded math success. But also great opp to support Ss with both #SwDMathChat

1pmorris Jan 12 @ 9:25 PM EST

Don't know that they're so chicken/egg. Contextualization could assist all parts of C-R-A? #SwDMathChat

In reply to @bkdidact, @normabgordon, @jennifuhs4

jennifuhs4 Jan 12 @ 9:26 PM EST

Many of my Ss struggle to see the main idea within scenarios and will miss how the context relates to the math+ #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Jan 12 @ 9:26 PM EST

Can you give a concrete example? (Pun intended!) #SwDMathChat

In reply to @1pmorris, @normabgordon, @jennifuhs4

jennifuhs4 Jan 12 @ 9:26 PM EST

+as a result the math in math of these problems is the headache and not the asprin #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Jan 12 @ 9:29 PM EST

Before we shift to warm-ups and routines does anyone have any final words in regards to contextualizing math? #SwDMathChat

_CLCook Jan 12 @ 9:30 PM EST

A3: They may not understand the goal and end up being more confused or discouraged. #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Jan 12 @ 9:31 PM EST

So many of my Ss, when contextualized math is not done well, miss the main objective or point! End up MORE frustrated #SwDMathChat

In reply to @_CLCook

anyaostapczuk Jan 12 @ 9:32 PM EST

A3: many ss struggle not just in math but in reading comprehension and so word problems tend to be an even bigger struggle #SwDMathChat

A4: I warm up with either skills they need for new content, refreshing prior knowledge, or cooperative problem with their table #SwDMathChat

Numberless word problems are even better! #SwDMathChat

I sometimes have them do it silently so that they aren't influenced/distracted/intimidated by each others answers. Works ok. #SwDMathChat

A4: I learned this year that warm ups are best in 2-3 minutes of mastered work that does not require thinking. #SwDMathChat
