Applying Constructivist Strategies for Teaching Mathematics |
|
Educators are shifting their instructional practices to include constructivist strategies that increase rigor in terms of critical thinking and problem-solving. The intent of these strategies is to prepare students for college and careers in the 21st century.
Research and provide the links for two math lesson plans aligned to any two state math content standards for any K-8 grade level. Select lesson plans that do not already use constructivist strategies for teaching the math skills.
In 500-750 words, complete the “Mathematical Lesson Analysis Template” and for each lesson plan:
1. Identify components within the lesson plan that address the standards the lesson plan is aligned to.
2. Describe one constructivist strategy that could be used within the lesson that involves critical thinking and problem-solving.
Support your constructivist strategies with 1-2 scholarly resources.
In the same document, beneath your lesson plan analyses, write a 250-500 word reflection on how you plan to incorporate the mathematical practice standards and constructivism into your classroom. Describe how you plan to provide a rigorous experience for students to prepare them for college and careers in the 21st century.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide.

Chosen grade level and state content standards the lesson plan is designed to teach are included, but could be clearer or include minor inaccuracies. | Both links provided are functional. Chosen grade level and state content standards the lesson plan is designed to teach are clearly described and mostly accurate. | Both links provided are functional. Grade level and state content standards the lesson plan is designed to teach are thoroughly described and accurate. . | |||||||
Components Aligned to Standards | 20.0% | Identification of components within the lesson plan that are aligned to standards is vague or inaccurate. | Identification of components within the lesson plan that are aligned to standards includes most major elements. | Identification of components within the lesson plan that are aligned to standards is accurate although some minor elements may not have been addressed. | Identification of components within the lesson plan that are aligned to standards is thorough. | ||||||||
Constructivist strategy within the lesson uses critical thinking and problem solving that is lacking or incomplete for the grade level and math skills being taught. | Constructivist strategy within the lesson uses critical thinking and problem solving that is simple but in context for the grade level and math skills being taught. | Constructivist strategy within the lesson uses critical thinking and problem solving that is detailed and relevant for the grade level and math skills being taught. | Constructivist strategy within the lesson that uses critical thinking and problem solving is ideal for the grade level and math skills being taught. | ||||||||||
Reflection | 30.0% | Weakly discusses plan to incorporate the mathematical practice standards and constructivism in future classroom.
