Session 1:

Empowering All, within a Dynamic, Hybrid, Math Learning Pit

DESCRIPTION: for grades 3 to 8

We model lessons which involve attendees through a mixture of hands-on and digital workshop activities and short videos which “TEACH” but do not “TELL” leading to productive struggling and EUREKA (“I found it”!) moments within a learning pit. Concepts include addition/subtraction with regrouping, partial products, patterning, graphing and fractions. We conclude with two short powerful videos … “Math or Magic” and “Learning Pit” to demonstrate and summarize productive struggling for both teacher and student. Free access to resources during and after this session enable both teacher/parent and student to achieve success.

From 1 hour to 1 day.

For Grades 3 to 8 students, teachers, parents and Pre-Service Teachers.

Session 2:

First Steps in Coding Through Mathematical Thinking and Game-Based Learning

DESCRIPTION:

Coding, a marketable skill, is a great fit for today’s classroom. Knowledge of coding is not necessary for this hands-on session.

Part 1 introduces a simple, powerful coding language. Concrete action is based on mathematical thinking.

In Part 2, a new path, concrete to more abstract, screen free to screen based is followed.

Concrete materials, software, videos and game-based reinforcement within a step-by-step eBook course outline, enable all to achieve success during and after this session.

For grades 3 to 8: Students, Teachers, Parents and Pre-Service Teachers.

Time: 1 hour to 1 day

Session 2a (Part 1 of Session 2):

First Steps in Coding to Learn

This hands-on session, Part 1 of Session 2, uses videos, notes and an eBook course outline with step-by-step instructions for teachers and students to introduce coding in a friendly environment rich in mathematics.

Coding begins with introductory concrete commands, procedures, variables and projects.

For grades 3 to 8: Students, Teachers, Parents and Pre-Service Teachers.

Time: 1 hour to 1 day

Session 2b (Part 2 of Session 2):

First Steps in Coding Through Mathematical Thinking and Game-Based Learning

Part 2 of this hands-on session introduces screen-free coding within a new, exciting hybrid learning environment.

First participants are engaged in using cards to plan a screen-free concrete solution.

Then code is acted on resulting in action on a more abstract computer screen.

For grades k to 8 teachers, parents and pre-service teachers

1 hour to 2 hours

Session 3:

Play for Reinforcement .. Math Games to Engage All .. for Grades 3 to 8

Are you on the lookout for math games that are motivating?

Do your students need to become proficient with operations in whole numbers, fractions, order of operations? Do you need to vary levels of difficulty in games? If you answered YES to any of these questions, we welcome you to this session. “Bullseye” was invented by a NYC Principal. “The Nomads” was created by a U of Alabama PHD student.

From 1 hour to 1 day

For Grades 3 to 8 students, teachers, parents and Pre-Service Teachers.
