before we get started welcome to our mathology webinar this afternoon um we are going to talk a little bit
more about practical supports for teaching k-3 maths in french so i'm just going to turn off my video
and we are going to talk a little bit more about the french language and everything that goes along
with that in mathematicia and before we really get going i will
let you know that i am the bilingual literacy coach for renter county district school board
which is just outside of ottawa and i've been working with mythology
since it came out in kindergarten way back i got to try it
out with my class and loved it and then i got to use it with my grade ones and as it was brought into french
and moved up through the grades i happened to move up through the grades as well i got to use it all the way through with
grade two and now grade three is in the works and i get to work with teachers throughout renfrew county trying it out
so i'm going to ask one of you either elisa or tammy to turn on your mic and play a little game with me
so this is one of our grade two activities called catholic and you can be red or
yellow you can choose and i'm just going to get you to work through that first
equation up in the corner and tell me where you would like i'll say you're red and you can tell me
where you'd like me to put your jets home
okay so we just have to go almost my sink okay us cis and i'll do
this one down here at the very bottom very bottom this one here yeah all right so now i'm up
ty's my sis says
um i'll do the today's right beside my the one that i have already okay
and kettles
let me see okay you're up i will pick
i'll do the size above one of my tones [Laughter]
all right size one lips and then
[Music] and your turn i will
pick i'll do this sis uh in the second row just above yeah
perfect okay we'll just do one more section set catals
activity is right and how much conversation that our students can have as they play through this game so it's
both the math piece and the conversation tone tool working through your thinking where you want to put
everything and that's one of the activities so it's actually concat from the grade two uh activity
kit and it goes through all of the parts of a three-part lesson so we're going to do our ava or
ma and our ideas for difference and our consolidation so just to give you an example there's a little minds on at the
beginning and lots of ways of talking and getting that oral interaction the oral production and the oral
comprehension with our students so lots and lots of french
going on at the same time as our math and so this is one of the teachers and i
just pulled a few things off of pearson's website to talk about both the math and the french and how
that can all be integrated together and so this teacher here as i did notice
that there are two big problems and one is that the students don't always understand the vocabulary the math
vocabulary because it is their second language and they don't always see the link to the real life math and so some of the
things that have been put into methodology are the uh the mildemu so with every
activity there's a little section with a mule demo with a demo with some things that you might
want to talk about you might want to bring in you might want to create a word wall uh just below that
you can see one of the activities that i did with my kindergarten students when we were talking about
uh one of the little books i think it's i don't remember which one i'd have to see it again it was a while ago
but they put their names in and we used the boxes and we talked about moindus psychic justice like and we got pulled
in some of the literacy that way and then the below that is a picture from one of the grade three little books
where you can see the time and the calendar and all of that pulled right back in there so that real world
connection uh here's another this is a superintendent talking about
how easy it is to put centers into place and organize games and these are actually students from my grade 1 class and my grade 1 2
class and how easy it was for me to have both my math centers set up with the
activity kits but also the little books the listening center the activities that went along with that
and some of the reading that i could pull in so i could do my math and my language all at the same time which in an
immersion class depending on what percentage you have of the day it's always nice to pull that all together
and this is actually me and my students um and my point was really that
there wasn't a lot out there that i could use and so it's really made the difference to have the right math tools
at the right level and at the right level of french for my students and mythology was adapted and not translated
so the french really is appropriate for those students in the second language classroom
so just an example this is a kindergarten book and you can see some of the ways that the language has been scaffolded
so these are not books that students will be reading independently in kindergarten but you can start to point out
those words as you're working with students you can see in grade one we start to
have a little more out there we've got numbers things are a little
more chunked in grade two i've often had to do some scaffolding around this but again this
is not what my students would be reading independently in grade 2 this is what we'd be working through together so this
is where i sort of pulled in more of that word wall piece and brought together the language and could use my math and my language block
together and then gets just a little more complicated in grade three
so everything in mythology is based around that and it's our learning progression
created by dr lynn mcgarvey and it's gonna really it's a continuum of learning and it shows us where our
students are in their math learning and it shows us their next steps and how that evolves over time
um it also shows us if we're working with a certain concept and our students are a little step back what their next steps need to be
and the way it's set up is that there is a big idea then there's our conceptual and then
designs and this one here goes from kindergarten to grade three and so you can see some
are a little bit closer to that left side more kindergarten-based concepts some of them get a little bit heavier
towards that grade three end and it's really going to depend on where you are and it covers all of the math strands
so that's just one piece of methodology and everything is really based around
that but there's also all of these great professional learning resources
and professional learning videos all throughout my strategy poinsettia for the classroom there's elito so
grade one and grade two currently available french and english grade three on the way pieces are coming out pieces
are online um throughout the summer so keep your eyes peeled for that it's beautiful
and then the math little books which go from kindergarten through to grade three
there's now lesnar so um these right on wipe off spiral bound
math mats that really allow us to see our students thinking to allow them to express that a little
bit better and it all comes together on methodology and that's good excuse me that's our
online platform it's going to allow us to search to plan to teach um to do our assessment and to do our
next steps as well as our own professional learning actually i have a question for you if
you don't mind will the read-aloud books be available on
[Music] mathology.ca yes okay we're going to go right into
methodology.ca right in a moment and i'll show you the little books i'll show you the
activities i'll show you everything i just want to point out before we go that everything is available
in class so there are the hard copy books there are um itself everything is also available
on dot ca and it's super easy to transition between the virtual and the in class so
you can see my students here with the listening center acting out some of the stories uh some
of the worksheets and activities that go along with it there's a qr code because on the back of the hard copy books
there's a qr code so my students could independently do a listening center but on the other side of it you can see
in my google classroom that i can post those little books for my students to listen to
um and the kindergarten ones you can actually just click on the google classroom or the
teams and it'll pop it right in there for you with the activities you can see the same
activity in the classroom and the same activity virtual so a couple of little modifications um
for the in classroom covid an activity that would have been done in groups of two my students are doing independently
at home or projecting the activity on screen students are drawing two circles and
working out the little pools themselves so we are going to go right into
methodology and feel free again to interrupt me
anytime if you have any questions or a small group so you can talk as you wish
um and this is the home screen so the first and easiest way to search for things is to just write
into uh the search bar so me
and i'm going to get all the results that i have here for geo weekly all the little books all the activity
cards so i can narrow down that search then so maybe i want to look here and i want to
go um for grade one and i want to look for just the little books for grade one
and then i've got all of that right there the other way to search is going to be
by curriculum so you can see here i'm in ontario so i've got the ontario curriculum up so i
can pull up grade one i can go into number i've got my expectations and
all the way down here i've got these little magnifying glasses so i can find what i need
so if i wanted to look up say fractions i can go to this magnifying glass and i've got everything that's going to
go with this expectation
and then the third way to search is going to be by that learning progression so if i'm in gnome i can work my way
through here if i want to look at estimation i can
see that continuum of learning i can move it along i can move it back and again i can go on to that magnifying
glass and see all of the resources that go with that piece of the learning
progression so let's take a look at
why don't we pull up a kindergarten book so if i go into all lessons it takes a moment to load
because there's quite a lot let's take a look at a kindergarten book since we've got some kindergarten folks in here
so the little books are all set up the same way it starts with our apple gives us a little low down on the book
our accent on the math our links to the curriculum
and again going back to that learning progression so we're going to fall under ducat i can see where my students would
be with as working through this book and i can see what the next step would be
when i go back up to the top and i go into leads this is where i get the little book itself so you can see here that i can
share in my virtual classroom through google me or google classroom or through teams i've got some ideas on packaging
i've got ways to present the little book and then when i click on the link to the little book itself
it's going to bring me here so i've got two options i can listen and read and i can try an activity and
if you are working with a little book that doesn't happen to have that little google classroom button or teams
button you can just click on the link at the top copy it and paste it into your virtual classroom
if i go to li a quick i'm gonna get the book up here
and you can see we can flip through so my students can flip through if they're in that password-protected classroom or i can
project it and show it i've often projected these on my smart board and shown this and they can be read
aloud so this was really helpful for me because a lot of my parents were in a lot of my kids were in french immersion their
parents were not francophone so i could send something like this home and
the students were supported and listening i'll play a little bit for you
[Music]
[Music] a so you can see that it's really not
too fast it's got a good pace for a lot of our students and again we can stop it we can scaffold
the language as we go through and then if you go back you've also got the option to try the activity
so i often use the little books like i said before as a listening center my students could listen to them
and then with whatever time they had left they could come and work through the activity
and again with all of that reading up there they could listen
so then you can see here so for this one here
so you know right and working through that with a
little bit of math info up here at the top
i go back to my methodology points say yeah so that's the little book right there all the little books are up there
i've also got some connected resources so i've got some ideas for ab hilarity i've got some additional activities up
here so this is a page from the teacher's guide that can be used it's got some activity ideas i've got all these links to the fish
reproductively so one of the ones i like most is this activity
and i can pull up this link as a pdf or his word and it's just going to give me a letter
that i can share in english or in french and i can click and put in these ideas of things that
parents can be trying at home so we've been working on this book try doing these things
i've also got any math tools that i might need
to mathematically [Music] maybe there's some little games everything is going to be right in here
and then they listen connects over to the side i've got my little
professional development videos here most of them are around that less than
10 minutes point and i'll just start it up
[Music] let's give you some of the background on the activity and on the math that's
[Music] happening
[Music]
so you can see those are just videos for you to give you some of that math background
so that is a quick overview of the little books does anyone have any questions at
this point
all right we will move on to one of the activity cards then so why don't we pull up
the activity card from the game that we played a little earlier
and again it starts off the same way so with our app football it's going to give us our time if we're
going to play it in partners it's going to give us our curriculum links lisa
and completely then again our links to that point can i see how we can move back how we can move
forward with our students when we go back up to the details this
is where we can see the activity card itself so if you've got lats in your class you'll see that this looks just like the
teacher's card that's in la trois it's right up here except that right at the top anywhere where there's an extra piece
that might be needed there's a link right here so this one here we might want to use a created um
to support to scaffold the link will be right there in pdf
foreign word then we go through our master sv so our ava getting a little minds on
ma and our app
so if you look through here we've got ideas for combination
and we also have ideas for a combined class so if you're working with say this is a
grade two activity if you're working with a grade one two class or if you're working with a grade two three class you can be doing the same
activity just by bringing in a different fish deposit so maybe the numbers won't be as big if you're
working with grade ones maybe the the equations will be a little bit more complex in working with the two three class
and i'm going to say that take a look at these um the first couple of times that i
worked through most of these activities i didn't look at these i really just wanted to do the activity and do it really really well
but there's so much value that comes from these kids now that performs not just in figuring out your students thinking
and then getting them to express those things
so here is that teacher's card so if you have the kit this is a teacher's card it's everything
that i showed you up at the top
everything's right there if i go to the next slide you can see on the back of
the teacher's card that this is the assessment and evaluation so we can see what our
students are doing what strategies what behaviors they're doing as they work through this activity and right
there they tap and remember this because i'm going to come back to this in a minute
and this is the student card itself so this is the side that we played and it's our category if you turn the
card over you can see it's a little less complex so the numbers get a little smaller so
right there we can differentiate just by flipping that card over and then our support
pieces so our data this if we need that down at the bottom here we've got the
interactive tools that go along if we are working with this virtually so this one here we've
got an interior that's this if we click on that it's going to bring us right up here and we've got that 10 frame so we
can work with that virtually so all of that's right in there and if
you remember the back of the card they comported if i come up to the top now and i go to
evaluation i can see those same boxes
so i can take my class then when my class to do my name and i can say
my students these three here i saw this or i can just drag and drop them down
and pull my students and then right there in the moment so this is what my students are doing
this is what my students are doing
there's often also ones with an intervention piece and that's on the next page but it will be linked right in
that bottom piece as well so we're going to come back to where
everything goes from this evaluation when we get into our analytics but before we do that i just want to
bring you to the next page for this activity card electros connects we have mini lessons
so we've got leni and those interventions that i talked about are right here so you can click on that intervention
piece it's going to show you your materials it's going to show you everything you might need links to any extra materials and you can
take this little print button here and you can push that and you can send
it through pdf and you can post it in your virtual classroom
just change it over to pdf
and some ideas for next steps
and again with that little green button and so these are really great for me if i was working on something with students
i could you know say this is what we worked on in our class today this is going to be your next step for your asynchronous time
and then as i mentioned in the beginning so it's going to bring us some of those things that we might want to pull out as
vocabulary to work through with our students as we're going through the text as we're going through the activity
things that we might want to bring up in oral conversations and then all the way at the bottom
so these are super fun i used to do these um right at the beginning of my lesson every day we did something from
mats to usual just to get our minds on
and then often any affiliate
if you are working in a virtual classroom i forgot to mention this if you go to the card itself you can
project this so again that little green button at the bottom if you go to that and you click on pdf
you can take that pdf and post that in your password-protected virtual classroom
so you can play it the same way that we did today have a little bit of interaction with your students
so those are the activity cards any questions at this point
no questions in chat yet uh jordan so again feel free to stop me at any
point i'm going to keep going because we're going to get into one of my favorite pieces now which is la nality so if i come up to the top here
and we go to lana litak and i've got my class to do my name if you remember we were looking at those boxes on the back of the cards
when we did evaluation and you can see that there is the activity that we were doing
you can see those eight boxes that were on the back and you can see how many students we put in there
you can see that it was seven out of our twelve students that were evaluated you can see that we're uncalled up with
this activity i can also see
so that's going to show me just a quick visual of everything if you want to look at it a little bit
more uh in a more organized way like i do you can do it by curriculum so i can
pull up that ontario curriculum piece and i can see for b1
this is where we're at these are the activities that fall under b1 and we're we're trucking along in b1
so i can do that and c by curriculum
i can also do this for my students so for each student i can go through and
see pull up jane and again i can see just a
quick overview of where jane is in her learning
and this is really great for conversations with administrators for conversations with parents it's a quick visual to see where we're at
and again i can pull that up by curriculum so i can say you know when we're looking at b1
this is where we're at we're called the progression and we need a little bit of extra attention
okay
all right so that's the analytic that's our evaluation and i also wanted to mention
this is really great as we move into report cards because i can see right there where we need to work and i can see
those next steps so i've often used those next steps in writing my report cards you know jane is uh on the right track
here jane needs a little more attention here this is what we're going to do
again stop me if you have any questions jordan um when you ha
we're on jane's lesson where it needs more work by the red button do you mind going into
the details because usually it links back to where
you were and reminds you about your next steps right usually
uh it's giving me a comment on here this one do i need to click again or you
could just go on to the link on the left
nothing's happening here uh wait typically yeah i went to the
details and it opened up it will take you right back to the uh assessment
that you did and we'll remind you what your next steps are yeah so it's showing me what the strategy is
oh and it's giving me the option to go back to this one here i pick my class again
so that i can go back to those next steps thank you
so i'm going to show you the plan next and the plan is up here because
there are so many resources um i kind of
like to use the plan as a way to see it all put together for me so see what i need to do and where to go
with it and this is a great piece so i've got my plans i've got some examples of plans that have already been
created and that are put on there and then i've got shared plans so if i'm working with other teachers that have
methodologies we can work together to create shared plans
so if we look at uh paneer and this is going to be my whole full
year plan and actually did this plan with my students uh one year in grade one was fantastic
and the first thing it's going to bring me to is interactive so it's right here in my
plan and if i click on that i can see all of the options
so one thing i've always had a hard time finding is canadian money so right here i've got that money and i
can manipulate that and move it around so that's right there at the top of my
plan and then i get into my plan from september all the way down to june
so if i pick uh actually we're going to take this plan we're going to make it our own
so we're going to come up here and we're going to use the plan we're going to say
me and it's going to take a moment and now that plan is mine which means
i can move things around i can adjust things if i decide you know county on september fine but i
want to start with county right at the beginning i can slide that up to the top
and i'll move that around so i can really move things around any way that i want to with this plan when i get into culty i
can see that there's three little books here when i work with a little book with my students
it takes me about a week to really dig into the french to dig into the math
um to really work through everything in that little book so there's no way if i'm doing three things in september
that i'm gonna get through also three little books so what i can do is maybe write a note saying that you know
um use this one and maybe i'm even going to take
something away you can also see all of the activities
in the order that they're going to go through and they kind of come in clusters so that you can you can deepen your learning as
you go through so we're going to work at this learning with one and then we're going to go to the next one and then we're going to come down to
a bit of consolidation at the end so all of that is right there ready to
go for me and it goes through the whole year i've also got the option to add in other lessons so if i'm
working with a grade one two class if i come to assemble two
i can go through i'm in primary county but if i want to add doozy my name
c i'm going to go down to do s and then it's going to show me all of
the grade two activities so if i can say you know my grade one's here i'm about contagious
excuse me i can come over here and find a grade two activity uh that i want my grade twos to be doing
at the same time and i can drag it and drop it in and so then my plan is done for both
grades together i can see it it's all laid out so this has been really great for me for conversations with administrators because they can
see everything right there i can share this with them they know exactly what's coming
i can also add lessons that are not methodology so if i open this up i'm going to give it a title i'm
going to click the url in here so i you know i've got some great things that i've created in my google drive if i want to add that right
into my plan i can do that i can just click that link to add that in there and it'll be part of my plan as well
so you can see my plan as we go through and then when i'm all done and i'm happy
with all the pieces of my plan if i come up to these three dots here at the top i can see if i've created my own plan
from scratch i can see if it's covered the curriculum um the plans that are already created
that are on there are going to cover the curriculum but if you want to take a look you can do that you can also see the list of materials
you can share it like i said if you're working with somebody else who has methods you can say you can share that plan together
or you can export it into a docx
so that's the planning tool i'm just going to show you a couple of fun ways to personalize things
when you get onto this home screen when you get here right away you can see that there's these five boxes at the bottom so if i take
these little pins away i can personalize this any way i want so i've got my favorites
that i've already chosen and all i've done to choose those favorites i go back and i go to
all the lessons you'll see that there's these little hearts on the side if i love
something and i don't want to take the time to find it every time if i click that little heart it'll
become a favorite i want to go into my favorites you can see
the last one added in there it is and if i decide that you know um i want to have it right on
my home screen easy to find i can click the little pin and then when i go to my home screen
there it is so with those five boxes i've seen teachers do day one two three four five
or monday to friday i often leave if i've got a supply teacher coming in i make sure whatever they need is right on
that home screen ready to go it's really however you want to set that up for yourself
other great thing is if you come up to this button here
click on that it's going to take you to pearson's site and everything you need to know about methodology is going to be on
here so there's going to be getting started uh tips some little tips and tricks um some
videos some of the webinars that we've done before the copyright guidelines as well as any
core curriculum everything's going to be right on there
any questions at this point
okay quiet crew tonight we're just going to pop back to these
presentations just a couple of things to tell you about methodology
we were talking about that spiral bound book um of math mats those are now available
lots and lots of tools in there just to really help our students explain their thinking bring out that
reasoning
and we've got some promotions for the string on methodology so looking at getting that methodology
teacher license for a year or five years and with that year you get 15 off the print resources with the five
year you get 25 off those print resources
and webinars just like that are happening all throughout the spring so this one tonight we've got uh one
coming up again with mythology so with the french having fun outside with math there is a
few english ones coming up if you look on mathology.ca i think fractions is coming
soon that's right jordan and you can sign up
for a free 30-day trial on masala that little button at the bottom that's
circled in right here that says i accept that jewel and you can try it out you can see
all of the things that i showed you tonight play around with them try them with your students all right there for you i also encourage
you to follow mathology on twitter and on facebook there's a great community going
with lots of ideas being shared between teachers as to how they're using those resources
what they're trying out with their students how they're using things in the classroom
