Learning and Teaching Linear Functions
Video Cases for Mathematics Professional Development, 6-10, Facilitator's Package
By: Nanette Seago, Judy Mumme, Nicholas Branca
Developed under a National Science Foundation grant, these video-based resources help math teachers in grades 6-10 address some of the "problems of practice" associated with the issues and challenges of teaching linear functions. Based on videos of real classroom teaching, these materials better equip teachers to prepare and implement lessons that will help students develop conceptual understanding of linear functions. Teachers' own understanding of the subject will be deepened as they teach. The Facilitator's Package includes a 44-page Facilitator's Guide, a CD of facilitation resources, and a participant's CD with video clips and resources. The package includes one foundation module consisting of eight three-hour sessions and four extension modules, each composed of two or three three-hour sessions. The modules cover
- conceptualizing and representing linear relationships;
- launching a lesson or task;
- interpreting and responding to unexpected student methods;
- making use of student ideas during discussion; and
- examining equivalence and generalization.
- mathematics tasks;
- one or two short video clips from lessons filmed in real classrooms;
- discussion topics;
- readings; and
- tasks designed as a bridge to teachers' practice.
- facilitation notes;
- agendas;
- lesson graphs;
- video analyses;
- mathematics tasks analyses;
- PowerPoint® slides; and
- video transcripts.
