I. NCTM Standards and Windows, Dinos and Ants:
Watch the video "Windows, Dinos and Ants." This video can be
accessed from the Annenberg Teaching Math website found at the
following URL:
http://www.learner.org/resources/series32.html# Once you
access this page, you should scroll down to Video #23 and click on VoD
(Video On Demand). The videotape is about 16 minutes in length.
Before you watch the video, read over the following questions and make
notes as you view the video segment.

What other areas of the curriculum are addressed through Mr.
Reiley’s lesson on measurement? Look specifically for
examples of the other NCTM content and process standards:
Content Standards: Number and Operations,
Algebra, Geometry, Measurement, Data Analysis and
Probability

Reasoning and Proof, Connections, Communication and
Representation
-
What role does
problem solving play
in the teaching of measurement concepts?
-
How
does Mr. Reiley use both standard and nonstandard measurement
concurrently.
II.
NCTM and NC Standard Course of Study (NC SCOS): Compare the
North Carolina SCOS to the NCTM Standards. Do the two documents
appear to be aligned? How are they different? You can access
both documents in the EDN 322 Course packet. The NCTM standards
can be found on pp. 39-44 and the NC SCOS on pp. 59-65.
III.
Taking Away By Ones and Twos: Play the game Taking Away By
Ones and Twos several times with another person. You will need 15
small objects such as buttons, beans or coins. The directions for
playing the game can be found at the following URL:

Once you have
played the game several times, complete the activities on the "Taking a
Closer Look" sheet handed out in class. Come to class next week
