Using classroom-tested activities, the course shows teachers how to develop students ability to think and reason, build students number sense and computation skills, help students learn to solve problems, use manipulative materials, and organize instruction for cooperative and individual learning. Special grade-level sessions help teachers focus on the skills and concepts appropriate for their students. The course is designed for teachers who have had classroom experience using the ideas, activities, and approaches learned in Math Solutions, Part 1 . Teachers receive specific feedback and help with their classroom instruction through discussion, reflection, viewing videotapes of actual classroom lessons, and examining student work. Participants also investigate new classroom activities and learn how to integrate assessment and student writing into their mathematics teaching.
Early registration is encouraged.
