This professional learning opportunity for grades 4-12 math teachers delves into the connections between fractions and algebraic thinking through interactive, hands-on experiences. Participants will engage with model-based, inquiry-driven lessons using manipulatives, visual models, and technology. Teachers will collaborate to co-create classroom-ready strategies, with time to share ideas and resources during "expert hours." The workshop is […]
Data literacy is not only a mathematical concept, but a necessary life skill. Students need to learn what the data tells them and what questions to ask in order to build the foundations for a later understanding of statistics. Informed citizens are flooded with data at every turn, making data literacy vitally important. Building an […]
Join us for an engaging and interactive session designed to deepen your understanding of early mathematics. Explore the progression from counting to additive and multiplicative thinking—yes, even in kindergarten! You'll discover how your existing routines already support these big ideas, and learn how to take them even further. In this hands-on workshop, you'll play a […]
An experiential day in which we will debunk the following 3 myths: 1. Covering The standards is at odds with student thinking. 2.Fluency is all about speed and memorization. 3. Student engagement will always be low in math. Activities will uncover the research that explains how to get students engaged with meaningful math in your […]
Students perform better on standardized tests when they use their technology year-round. In this interactive workshop, teachers will explore engaging, student-centered activities that build conceptual understanding with TI technology.You'll leave with resources like bell-ringers and problem sets, plus strategies for solving test problems both with and without technology. We’ll also cover test-taking techniques to boost […]
In this workshop we will dive into multiplication strategies for grades 3 and beyond.There has been much debate in the field for the past decade or so about how to teach basic multiplication and support students’ fact fluency. We will discuss what fluency really means, learn the importance of teaching strategies for multiplication instead of […]
In this interactive workshop, you will learn how to transform an upper elementary classroom into an inquisitive math lab where students are active participants in every step of the learning process.You will experience the math lab firsthand, engaging with tasks as students would, to better understand the impact on learning. Drawing on strategies from BuildingThinking […]
