Come play games that incorporate the use of cards and dice that teach Pre - K First concepts: counting, early fluency, subitizing, patterns, and numbers to 10, 20 and 100. Engaging and easily differentiated to use whole class or in centers. Gameboards, students samples will be shared.
Need to interpret your school/district Illinois Assessment of Readiness results for math in Grades 3 - 8? Stop by for a look at the structure of the math assessment and discover unique ways of using the data to influence curriculum decisions.
Students need engaging practice tied to strategies, not rote memorization. Come prepared to play engaging and easily differentiated math games that use dice. Concepts covered: addition, subtraction including associative and commutative properties, doubles, make 10, early multiplication, multi-digit work. Gameboards, student samples and math talk extensions will be shared.
In this session, we will explore some of our favorite mathematical routines for the kindergarten classroom. Join us for a fun-filled hour of instructional activities geared towards our youngest mathematicians!
Teacher questioning and prompting plays such an important role in helping support students in productive struggle in the math classroom. With the Common Core Standards and Math Practices calling for students to persevere in problem solving through more rigorous concepts than ever before, it is vital that teachers talk to students about their work and nudge their thinking. In this session, we will not only discuss the importance of prompting and nudging while students work, but provide real-life examples of this language being used in our classroom. Participants will leave the session with examples of language to help elicit students' mathematical thinking in their own classroom.
In this session, teachers will learn a variety of strategies to implement a guided math instruction model into their classrooms. We will show teachers practical ways to implement differentiated instruction, technology, independent practice, and hands-on learning for the elementary classroom.
This session will explore one teacher's attempt to implement a model of self-paced learning in 8th grade algebra from the beginnings of working with an instructional coach to present day successes and challenges. We will look at student performance, classroom management for implementation, student and parent feedback, and reflections for improvement moving forward.
