Developing Children’s Mathematical Thinking:

SCHEDULE

An Essence of Pedagogical Content Development
In Japanese Textbooks

DAY 1 - TUESDAY ( 3 JULY 2012)
0800 – 0830 Registration

athematics textbooks form an important and essential part ofmathematics education in Japan. Japanese teachers and students use
the textbooks as one of the main teaching and learning resources in theclassroom. The Japanese textbooks have been carefully written inorder to help children systematically develop their mathematical knowledge andthinking. The main aim of this workshop is to help participants examine theJapanese textbooks for primary schools to understand the pedagogical content
and its learning trajectories that form the foundation for the development of thetextbooks. In Japan, these theories constitute the bases for the development ofchildren’s mathematical ideas and ways of thinking, and developing the children'sproblem solving competency to learn mathematics independently.

0830 – 1030 How children develop mathematical thinking using the sequence inthe textbooks: Evidence from Japanese lesson study videos.

The lessons will be conducted using lecture cum workshop methods. Participants areexpected to work in groups to solve mathematical problems. Works of participants
may be presented.

1030 – 1100 Tea Break1030 – 1100 Tea Break
1100 – 1300 Analyzing textbooks for the first grade: Number Concept, Addition
and Subtraction
1300 – 1430 Lunch
1430 – 1630 The teaching sequence for learning how to learn mathematics fromthe first grade to third grade.
DAY 2 - WEDNESDAY ( 4 JULY 2012)0830 – 1030 Expanding children's ideas through the teaching sequence ofextension for the second and third grades: Multiplication andDivision
1100 – 1300 Preparing the extension of children's ideas: Proportional NumberLine
