This four-session module provides a broad overview of the fundamental ideas about mathematics, learning, and teaching on which Standards-based mathematics education is based. It gives administrators the opportunity to sort out their initial thoughts and reactions to these ideas and to begin to consider their implications for their own work. Participants have the opportunity to: do mathematics togetherexplore how children’s mathematical thinking develops by examining student written work and by viewing a clinical interview with a studentthink about the nature of Standards-based instruction and how it differs from a procedural approach to mathematics education. They also consider some of the norms and values that are embedded in Standards-based mathematics education and how these connect to school and district culture, and to their own leadership roles.

As this module begins, students are asked to think about what it means to make work easier. They then try out experiences and challenges using levers, planes, and pulleys and explore the advantages and disadvantages of each.
At the end of the module, they are challenged to analyze a construction site that has no power and decide which simple machine is most appropriate for each task.

Lifting Heavy Things, Grade 2-3 (Insights)

Students examine their own basic needs and the needs of other living things around them. They explore the school building and neighborhood to determine how these areas meet their own needs. They then study some of the small creatures they find on the school grounds and the physical factors that affect these creatures' habitats.Each Teacher Guide includes:Specific teaching and management strategiesDetailed teaching sequences for teaching the first three phases of the Learning Experience (Getting Started; Exploring and Discovering; and Processing For Meaning)Reproducible masters for Student Science Notebook pages, Group Recording Sheets, and Home-School WorksheetsExtension activities in science, language arts and social studiesAssessment materials (an introductory questionnaire, embedded assessments, and a final questionnaire consisting of performance and written components)Science Background (provides general science concepts as they are introduced and developed in the module) to help prepare teacherTeacher and Student Resources section (annotated lists of children's books, teacher reference books, and technological aids)

Habitats, Grades 2-3 (Insights)

This module helps students become more aware of the nature of sound and the diversity and abundance of sounds around them. They begin by listening to recorded sounds. They then make their own sounds with their bodies, with drums, and with other instruments--exploring vibration, pitch and volume, and the transmission of sounds.
