There is a significant history of common mathematical teaching and learning practices for students in special education. But, which practices are BEST for these learners? Which strategies and models help students in special education find success and understanding? Come and experience a set of these strategies and models, and discuss why these are successful with...
Patterns and visualization are critical areas for developing conceptual understanding of mathematics across K-12. Building on elementary school students’ experiences with manipulatives and visual models, middle school teachers can extend the use of concrete and visual representations to connect fractions, ratios, proportions, linear relationships, and functions. Workshop participants will explore developmental trajectories related to the...
Expressions, equations, and inequalities are critical concepts for students transitioning from Elementary arithmetic to High School mathematics. Students progress from the world of concrete representations to abstract thinking, bringing to...
For Educators Teaching Grades PreK-8 Are you looking to incorporate more engineering practices into your lesson plans? Participants will explore a variety of research-based strategies for implementing the Engineering Design Process into their instruction.
Learning mathematics is a collaborative process, where we build, draw, write, and speak about mathematical ideas and relationships. Our learners need extra support to interact with their peers in healthy collaborations with equal status and equal participation. Come and explore ways to improve from cooperative learning to collaborative learning. Find ways to help your learners...
