Strategy and algorithm: What's the difference?
Click on the video on the left to learn the difference between a strategy and an algorithm.
Video made with My Simple Show.In this section of the module, draw your focus on the following three HLPs:
12--Systematically design instruction toward a specific learning goal
15--Provided scaffolded supports
Click on the HLP listed above for a video on that HLP (for #12 and #16) from highleveragepractices.org.
Don't forget to use your SMP, MTP, HLP Handout as a reference while you work on this section!
Watch this introductory video to the High Leverage Practices in Special Education from the Council for Exceptional Children to get an overview of the HLPs.

As you watch the video for each strategy, consider:
Which of the 8 Mathematics teaching practices might be important to focus on while teaching this strategy?
Of the 8 Standards for Mathematical Practice, which of them might you work to develop in your students as they learn that strategy?

Explicit Instruction
"Explicit Instruction is an unambiguous and direct approach to teaching that incorporates instruction design and delivery." (Archer & Hughes, 2011). It is backed by over 40 years of research and capitalizes on 16 elements to maximize its effect.

Learning Activity: Overview of Explicit Strategy Instruction Video
Watch the video at the right.
Pick one of the strategies you learned about in this section and design a lesson (or series of lessons) for that strategy using Explicit Instruction.
What might that strategy instruction look like using Concrete, Semi-Concrete, and Abstract representations?
What might be some of the misconceptions you anticipate your students having with that strategy? How could you pre-correct those errors before they occur?

Addressing Misconceptions
Addressing Misconceptions
Click to see an examples of Annotated Student Work from Achieve.
After reviewing these examples, go to Addressing Misconceptions Teacher Shared Slides. This set of Google slides is shared by all participants who work through this module.
Slide 2 provides directions.
Your learning activity is to give a task around multiplication and/or division to your students. Collect the work and select a piece of student work to share with others on the slides. Be sure that you Do NOT include any student personally identifiable information (name, picture/image, voice, SSID, school, etc.).
Each participant will select an empty slide to work on.
Insert a copy of the student work on one side of the slide. On the other side of the slide, you will annotate the work (as in the examples from Annotated Student Work), being sure to note any misconceptions or common errors noticed. Then record how you plan to address the misconceptions you identified in the Notes Section below the slide.
Finally, look at slides others have made and insert comments. This is a way for participants to connect with each other and learn from one another in an asynchronous environment.
