Using the 24® (MATH) Game in Your Classroom Thursday, October 9, 2008 Time: 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. OR 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Description: MATH 24 is a fast-paced game that uses mental math and number patterns. Every solution to a MATH 24 card must equal 24. Students use single- and double-digit numbers with any four operations to produce the answer. This session will provide teachers the basics of playing MATH 24 in their classroom. What is the object of the game? What are the rules? How do students state their solution? How do students earn points? IU 13 will hold a MATH 24 Tournament Spring 2009 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The tournament-style competition will be based on the MATH 24 game and is open to all students in IU 13 public and nonpublic districts, Grades 4 through 6. Tuesday, October 14, 2008; Monday, November 17, 2008; Tuesday, January 27, 2009; and Thursday, March 12, 2009 Time: 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Description: The first of four networking opportunities for math coaches in Lancaster-Lebanon IU 13. Math coaches will meet as a collaborative group to enhance and deepen their understanding of concepts and skills critical to an effective coaching initiative. This first session will focus on establishing collaborative relationships with staff.
Deepening Content Connections in Geometry Tuesday, October 28, 2008 Time: 4:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. Description: This three-hour workshop has been designed by teachers for teachers. Participants will use hands-on manipulatives to deepen their understanding of geometry as represented in the Pennsylvania Mathematics Assessment Anchor Content Standards and grade-appropriate Eligible Content. Ideas and research-based strategies for teaching these key concepts through student use of manipulatives, games, and learning centers will be explored. Deepening Content Connections in Algebraic Concepts Wednesday, November 19, 2008 Time: 4:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. Description: This three-hour workshop has been designed by teachers for teachers. Participants will use hands-on manipulatives to deepen their understanding of algebra as represented in the Pennsylvania Mathematics Assessment Anchor Content Standards and grade-appropriate Eligible Content. Ideas and research-based strategies for teaching these key concepts through student use of manipulatives, games, and learning centers will be explored.
Learning-Focused Mathematics: Interlocking Pieces of a Model Wednesday, November 19, 2008, and Thursday, November 20, 2008 Time: 8:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Description: This two-day Learning-Focused Schools Workshop is specifically designed for math teachers and teacher leaders in Grades 6-12. The included text, Learning-Focused Schools Mathematics: Interlocking Pieces of a Model, is a resource/tool that can be used for designing and implementing exemplary practices in secondary classrooms. These practices are designed to lead students to a deeper understanding of math concepts, continue to build new skills, develop problem-solving strategies, and make connections to real world examples. Co-author of this text and Learning Concepts, Inc., presenter Cyndy Davis will lead participants through the model and explore several examples for activating thinking, organizing, summarizing and storing information, accelerating learning, and extending/refining thinking about secondary mathematics. Deepening Content Connections in Data Analysis and Probability Wednesday, December 10, 2008 Time: 4:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. Description: This three-hour workshop has been designed by teachers for teachers. Participants will use hands-on manipulatives to deepen their understanding of data analysis and probability as represented in the Pennsylvania Mathematics Assessment Anchor Content Standards and grade-appropriate Eligible Content. Ideas and research-based strategies for teaching these key concepts through student use of manipulatives, games, and learning centers will be explored.
Tuesday, January 6, 2009; Thursday, February 12, 2009; Tuesday, and March 3, 2009 Time: 4:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. Description: This professional development series will focus on deepening teacher and student understanding of fractional concepts. Teachers will develop a greater understanding of fraction sense and its importance, estimation, comparing, and the value of using hands-on work using manipulatives they already have in their classroom. Teachers will "see" the reasons behind fractional algorithms and be able to diagnose common fraction mistakes made by students. Research will be shared to support the need for improving fraction instruction, and the PA Academic Standards for Mathematics and Assessment Anchors will be referenced in planning and supporting classroom activities.
