MATH MATTERS! Institute |
| This intensive two-day institute
focuses on improving math instruction in immediate and practical ways.
Through a series of workshops, personal reflections, and small group exercises,
we'll explore the links between mathematics curriculum, instruction, and
assessment. Some questions we'll consider: What makes for good math instruction? How do I improve my instructional techniques? Why is it important for consistency within the grades, across the school, throughout the district? How do I meet standards without compromising my own teaching style? Whether you are a classroom teacher, paraprofessional, or administrator, you will leave the institute with practical tools, relevant theory, and ready-to-use lessons that will bring new insight and enthusiasm to your math program. |

Algebra Institutes K - 9 |
| The Algebra Institutes K-9 focus on the foundations of algebraic thinking, the links to computation, and patterns, relations, and functions. In three grade bands – K-3, 4-6, and 7-9 – we explore the how the strand grows within and across grades. Emphasis is placed on addressing state and national algebra standards within the context of problem solving. Manipulatives such as Unifix Cubes, Color Tiles, Base Ten Blocks, Pattern Blocks, and Algebra Tiles are used extensively. In addition, participants have the opportunity to design and showcase algebra lessons with their grade-level colleagues. |
