Description: In this hands-on workshop, participants will engage in several rich problems selected from the areas of number and operations, algebra, geometry, pre-calculus, calculus and discrete mathematics. Each of the problems will address a number of the Eight Standards For Mathematical Practice.
From Monday, September 21 at 8 AM through Friday, September 25th at 3 PM, AMTNJ will host its first ever virtual EdCamp. For more information, see this flyer. To register, […]
Description: Teacher's will be working on virtual labs of their choice in social constructivist groups to see how NJCTL integrates hands-on virtual labs in mathematics to promote understanding through discovery. […]
Description: In this session, teachers and coaches will participate in activities that build a teacher's toolbox of engagement strategies. Participants will learn about and experience strategies to engage students in […]
Description: Earlier research uncovers a multitude of “in the in-the-moment” motivating desires that accompany mathematical problem solving. These motivating desires evoke differing patterns of engagement and social interaction. In this […]
Description: Effective teaching of mathematics facilitates discourse among students to build shared understanding of mathematical ideas by analyzing and comparing student approaches and arguments (NCTM Teaching Practice). This session will […]
Description: You know to use “wait time" after you ask a question of your class, yet there are many other times to “wait” in the learning of math. See how […]
Description: Participants will explore a multi-dimensional approach to teaching math in general and special education classes. Participants will leave the session with tools and strategies that will encourage student self-discovery.
Description: Show students real-world applications for their emerging math skills and connections to other disciplines with hands-on activities that use data sets on wildlife habitat, land and water use, population […]
