Effective Practices in Mathematics: Specialty Supplies

Introduction to New Perspectives in Teaching Mathematics

Welcome to the Mathematic Builders Emporium! This chapter contains a selection of construction
materials that mathematics faculty from across the state have found to be effective in helping
students with basic skills needs build their house of academic dreams. The supplies range from
planking and sheetrock for active learning to the nuts and bolts of classroom assessment
techniques. Research has shown that when instructing adult learners, teachers must actively
involve participants in the learning process and serve as facilitators for them. Cognitively Guided
Instruction, Authentic Assessment, Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATS) or a variety of active
learning strategies are all effective means of delivering curriculum this way. In addition, an added
bonus with these techniques is that they enable the instructor to get immediate feedback as to
whether the content is being understood by the student or, to use our construction metaphor,
whether the student is able to use a hammer to actually build. A variety of building methods are
presented here because mathematics faculty have reached no consensus about one best
approach; try several and see which works best for you and your students. If we’ve neglected to
profile a strategy that you’ve found to be effective, submit it to: http://bsi.cccco.edu/. This will
enable us to share the wealth and supplies with faculty across the state!

At the Emporium, we’ve found that the most successful teachers combine effective practices with
self analysis or assessment to determine what pedagogical techniques work best. It’s best to
analyze how your materials work and the soundness of what they construct as you’re building. The
Final Report of the National Mathematics Advisory Panel concluded that,

Teachers who consistently produce significant gains in students’ mathematics achievement can be
identified using value-added analyses (analyses that examine individual students’ achievement
gains as a function of the teacher). The impact on students’ mathematics learning is compounded
if students have a series of these more effective teachers. (U.S. Department of Education, 2008, p.
xx)

An analysis of classroom pedagogy, use of student learning outcomes assessments and active
hands-on learning by Graves found that teaching mathematics in context is essential to student
success (Graves, 1998, p. 2). Grave’s analysis of hands-on, objective-based, contextual
mathematics concluded that 70% of the students in the developmental mathematics cohort
reported that this type of teaching helped them understand mathematics concepts better than
any previous cours
