These activities were
written by Dennis Ebersole for use in courses for current teachers in
grades K-6 offered under the Eligible Partnerships grant. Some
activities were rewrites of activities and lessons in the exemplary
elementary mathematics programs "Everyday Mathematics" and
"Investigations in Number, Data, and Space" designed to give
teachers in districts considering or using these programs an idea of the
instructional practices to use to effectively teach students with one of
these curricula.
The other activities were designed to increase the content
knowledge of the course participants while giving them experience as
students in a classroom using a constructivist approach. You may have to
adapt these activities, since the level is often at the eighth grade level or
higher. Let us know if you use an activity successfully. Also, please
send us any successful adaptations for possible inclusion on this site.
