Elementary Mathematics Plays

Elementary Mathematics Plays
Description

this assignment is about how to educate kids to learn math in certain subjects such as geometry, algorithm, counting, etc. We will need to write math plays for kids
yet at the same time, we have to figure what the problem is. 900 words of First Draft

The purpose of this assignment is to provide you with an opportunity to reflect on the topics we have learned in Van de Walle’s “Elementary and Middle School
Mathematics for Elementary” (Referred to the list below, Subjects we cover in the course).

Your play should clearly demonstrate a greater ability to understand the concepts of the lesson and its challenges/pitfalls, the misconception of the student, and the
theory and practice promoted in the course.
You are to write a math “play” to continue the encounter presented below.
The encounter presents a situation wherein a student has a misconception. You are to diagnose the misconception, formulate a plan for remediation, and enact the
remediation.
The diagnosis will be a one- to two-page explanation of what you think the misconception is, including a discussion of how you think such a misconception might have
been formed.
The remediation will be the play. That is, you are to extend the mathematical encounter using both dialogue and narrative to play out the encounter, from misconception
to re-conception. This dialogue will likely begin with the probing questions you will use to make your diagnosis.
Please note that the play starts with Act 1, Scene 2—the point at which the misconception is revealed. This is not an accident. In addition to extending the
mathematical encounter, you are to envision how this encounter is situated within your own classroom. You must therefore also write Act 1, Scene 1. In doing so, make
extensive use of imagery to paint a picture of your classroom and normal classroom activity.
While working on the assignment, keep in mind the ideas that have been presented through your reading. In particular, pay attention to what it really means to teach
and learn mathematics.
ACT 1, SCENE 2
There is a conversation between the teacher and a student. There are 20-25 other students in the room.
Teacher: Why do you say that 37 is prime?
Student: Because 2, 3, 4 ,5 ,6, 7, 8, and 9 don’t go into it.
you are required to do between 1 – 2 pages for the diagnosis of the problem
do another 3 pages for the extension of Act 1 scene 2 (note that this was already started – you are also required to finish it). include how you will correct the
problem in this play
you are also required to write Act 1 scene 1 a play enacting this encounter in your own classroom – do another 3 pages for this.
write a one paragraph introduction – introducing your reader to your work (see the link below)
