Assignment: #2 Development of 21st Century Skills
In this blog post, I will reflect on how my Math Talk Smart Board Lesson presented a 21st Century understanding of the 21st century learner and myself as a 21st century teacher.
Common Core Standards Grade 3 Mathematics: Operations and Algebraic Thinking
3.0A -Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division.
1. Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 × 7.
* The Math Talk Smart board Lesson was used as a tool to help students meet the above mathematical strand. This strand and other grade 3 mathematical strands can be found here. I integrated 21st century skills to support and enrich the standards that I expect my students to meet.
The Math Talk Smart Board Lesson Objective:
Students will be able to use the technology of a Smart Board to collaborate, communicate, and critically think about how to creatively represent four different strategies for solving 12 X 2 . I created this objective in order to integrate 21st century skills to engage and empower my students.
The 4 C's of 21st Century Skills:
I used a student centered approach to understanding of the 21st century learner by coaching students how to incorporate The 4 C's to accomplish their Common Core multiplication math strand, as seen below. As a 21st century teacher, I taught students how use content skills to teach skills, while reminding students not to conform to only one way of solving a multiplication problem. I let students become the innovators while motivating them to create. I came out of my own comfort zone and incorporated technology into my math lesson. I am proud of myself for creating a lesson that allowed students to be self-directed producers and able to take ownership of their own learning while working in cooperative groups to teach others.

Math Talk!
Assessment:
Based on assessment results of the Math Talk, I can reflect that the students and I were both successful in using 21st Century skills during this lesson. I feel that this lesson is a direct results of my ability to understand today's 21st century learner by applying their needs with the need to meet curricular applications. Based on a thumbs up or thumbs down survey, students enjoyed this lesson, as well as learned multiple ways to represent a variety of multiplication strategies. I was especially proud of my students for never giving up on trying something new and challenging, as we had previously only completed math talks on paper with pencil. I was also extremely proud of the students who I overheard saying, " What if..., rather than I can't."
