Evaluate...
Selecting the best tools to assist in mathematics problem solving is essential, as well as evaluating our problem solving processes for solving difficult tasks/problems. Take a peek at the links below for a cliff notes "checklist" of how we will evaluate our work and problem solving processes, examples of mathematical tools we will be utilizing throughout the academic year, and how using a new application will assist us in assessing and evaluating our own thinking and processes. Students will be required to select, determine, and evaluate essential math tools in order to complete higher-order mathematics tasks successfully. In addition, students will be required to evaluate each mathematics task in order to determine the appropriate tools/manipulatives necessary to solve problems. Please note that self evaluation and reflection is an essential part of the learning process. BrainPop now has the capability to allow students to evaluate and assess their learning as they go! We will also be completing a daily evaluation slip to assess our learning and any misunderstandings/problems uncovered for the day. The links listed below will assist our kiddos in learning how to select appropriate math tools and learning how to best judge/critique their own learning and work!

Create...
Students will be working on creating and presenting their own mathematical tasks and providing essential problem solving videos over the course of this academic year. Please see the links below for examples of tools we will be utilizing for creating problems and creating how to videos related to problem solving. Students will actually work together collaboratively through my accounts to create their own learning tasks. In the past, I have signed in...and allowed my students to work together as a team to create assessments and assignments. This has proven to be a very successful practice...as it really helps our students think deeply and make connections through the process of creating. The links listed below will assist our students in creating and developing new math tasks and producing new pieces of work that are specific to their learning and academic growth in the area of mathematics!

The above tools have been researched and found to follow the learning levels associated with Bloom's taxonomy/technology. The selected tools identified for each learning level of Bloom's were selected due to the verbs indicated/associated with each level of learning as they are related to mathematics. For example, from the bottom to the top: Remember-duplicate, repeat, Understand-identify, recognize, Apply-solve and use operations, Analyze-compare, contrast, Evaluate-judge, select, and Create-develop, design, construct. Bloom’s taxonomy relates to the SAMR Model and the TPACK framework due to the fact that as the levels of Bloom's taxonomy/technology increases...so do the levels of enhancing and transforming learning through the utilization of technology and its tools. The tools selected not only follow the levels of Bloom's from producing lower-level thinking skills (remember, understand, apply) to producing higher-order thinking skills (analyze, evaluate, create), but they also assist in the ways in which they help to make learning meaningful, enhance the learning process, and eventually transform the learning process through providing new learning tasks and allowing students the opportunity to create and share new aspects of learning. In addition, the tools selected vary and overlap in providing meaningful experiences that are intertwined and related in the areas of content, technology, and pedagogical practices.
