MVP Cubes for Grades 3-8


Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth Grade

NBT

Overview

MVP's in Math (for grades 3-8) focus on the "Most Valuable Practices"-the eight Mathematical Practices in the Common Core State Standards and are great to use after students problem solve to reflect on their mathematical thinking!
 

Additional Information

Included in the 3-8 packet you will receive::
A total of 18 different MVP Cubes, GOAL sheets to observe and assess learning of each Common Core Mathematical Practice, and great teacher info!
Each cube has 6 question prompts, giving you 108 prompts that you can use to focus on the mathematical practices with students!

The 18 cubes include:
~Nine cubes to use BEFORE (and DURING) solving problems-one for each mathematical practice (8) and one that combines multiple practices (1).

~Nine cubes to use AFTER solving problems cubes-one for each mathematical practice (8) and one that combines multiple practices (1).

~GOAL sheets for "Gathering Observations to Assess Learning" for each practice that helps guide teacher observations to uncover student understanding and assess learning.

Information on each mathematical practice, ideas for instruction, and how to use the MVP cubes in a variety of ways is also included.

Just print and fold the cube you want to use. Students roll the cube that has a prompt related to each mathematical practice and respond in a journal or on the template provided. The cubes can be used in a center, at table groups, whole class, or even to send home for parents to ask good questions while students solve problems.

The PREVIEW file gives a great example of what is included for each practice, and gives you a look at the first mathematical practice, info, and cubes.
