  teaching area of irregular shapes 3rd grade: Mindset Mathematics: Visualizing and Investigating Big Ideas, Grade 3 Jo Boaler, Jen Munson, Cathy Williams, 2018-07-12 Engage students in mathematics using growth mindset techniques The most challenging parts of teaching mathematics are engaging students and helping them understand the connections between mathematics concepts. In this volume, you'll find a collection of low floor, high ceiling tasks that will help you do just that, by looking at the big ideas at the third-grade level through visualization, play, and investigation. During their work with tens of thousands of teachers, authors Jo Boaler, Jen Munson, and Cathy Williams heard the same message—that they want to incorporate more brain science into their math instruction, but they need guidance in the techniques that work best to get across the concepts they needed to teach. So the authors designed Mindset Mathematics around the principle of active student engagement, with tasks that reflect the latest brain science on learning. Open, creative, and visual math tasks have been shown to improve student test scores, and more importantly change their relationship with mathematics and start believing in their own potential. The tasks in Mindset Mathematics reflect the lessons from brain science that: There is no such thing as a math person - anyone can learn mathematics to high levels. Mistakes, struggle and challenge are the most important times for brain growth. Speed is unimportant in mathematics. Mathematics is a visual and beautiful subject, and our brains want to think visually about mathematics. With engaging questions, open-ended tasks, and four-color visuals that will help kids get excited about mathematics, Mindset Mathematics is organized around nine big ideas which emphasize the connections within the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and can be used with any current curriculum.

  teaching area of irregular shapes 3rd grade: Object Lessons Caren Holtzman, Lynn Susholtz, 2024-11-15 When Caren Holtzman and Lynn Susholtz look around a classroom, they see “a veritable goldmine of mathematical investigations” involving number, measurement, size, shape, symmetry, ratio, and proportion. They also think of the ways great artists have employed these concepts in their depictions of objects and space—for example, Picasso’s use of geometric shapes in his Cubist still lifes or contemporary artist Tara Donovan’s room-sized sculptures of everyday items. In their new book Object Lessons, Caren (a math educator) and Lynn (an artist and art educator) use a highly visual approach to show students and teachers the art in math and the math in art. Integrating visual arts into math experiences makes the lessons accessible, engaging, and meaningful for a wide range of students. In each chapter, the authors use everyday objects to create rigorous, hands-on activities that address key mathematics standards and concepts. Each lesson provides: • an introduction to the featured object that explains how it connects to key mathematical concepts; • a discussion of the artists, art styles and techniques featured; • activities organized by grade level and math content area; • the basic materials required to prepare and teach each lesson; • a clear picture of what the lesson will look like in a classroom; and • a list of resources. The book and its accompanying CD feature a wonderful gallery of images—including art photos and student work—and a collection of links to art education organizations, museums, and Web sites that focus on the work of forty major artists.

  teaching area of irregular shapes 3rd grade: Measuring and Visualizing Space in Elementary Mathematics Learning Richard Lehrer, Leona Schauble, 2023-03-31 Measuring and Visualizing Space in Elementary Mathematics Learning explores the development of elementary students’ understanding of the mathematics of measure, and demonstrates how measurement can serve as an anchor for supporting a deeper understanding of number operations and rational numbers. The concept of measurement is centrally implicated in a number of mathematical operations, yet is not often given the placement it deserves in the elementary mathematics curriculum. By drawing on K-5 classroom research, authors Lehrer and Schauble have been able to articulate a learning progression that describes benchmarks of student learning about measure in length, angle, area, volume, and rational number, exploring related concepts, classroom experiences, and instructional practices at each stage. Offering a unique, research driven resource for helping students develop a deep understanding of measurement to further enhance mathematical understanding, as well as further learning in other STEM disciplines; the book will be relevant for scholars, teacher educators, and specialists in math education. The book is accompanied by online resources developed for practitioners, including instructional guides, examples of student thinking, and other teacher-focused materials, helping clarify how to bring concepts of measure and rational number to life in classrooms.
