I have had a difficult time relating or seeing how to apply
the strategies in the last two weeks readings to mathematics. I can totally see how they could be used in
other content areas however find only a few strategies that would be beneficial
in my content area. The two strategies I
think that would apply best in a mathematical sense are the personal glossary
and clues and questions, both from the BBR chapter. My students could definitely benefit from a
personal glossary of mathematical terms that also incorporate clues and
questions as well. I think I would
format the vocabulary entries with, of course, the vocab word first followed by
a definition and then a formula or mathematical label. I would then request below the definition,
3-4 clues or questions to help students identify key elements. This is just a rough sketch of what it could
possibly look like and would probably need to be fine tuned.
Overall, I think the techniques and strategies listed would
be beneficial for varying content areas.
I did become frustrated however when the two readings overlapped as much
as they did…not too many new techniques.
