Mastering High School Math Takes Practice:

Learning Strategies Beyond Worksheets

In the next school year, we will be entering into the final phase of the NEW state standards for Mathematics. Concurrently, we are being held accountable to increase the achievement level for all students in all grade levels. Participate in a hands-on workshop taught by and for mathematics teachers. A full range of math content from Algebra through AP Calculus will be used in all models and strategies. Explore alternative teaching and learning strategies for MST Process and Content Strands including: classroom activities for modeling & visualization, summarization strategies and study aids, active participation techniques, music & movement, alternative assessments & differentiated instruction, modifying your classroom routine, technology tips (Bring your graphing calculator!), math vocabulary building and literacy techniques. Participants are asked to bring any or all of the following to help in creating classroom samples: course scope & sequence, curriculum maps, textbooks, plan books. All participants leave the workshop with completed classroom samples.

Intel Thinking with Technology

This course builds on effective technology integration skills. Teachers will be trained to use free online tools to sharpen students’ higher-order thinking skills. Participants will develop a unit plan, ready for use in the classroom, that promotes higher-order thinking skills, is student-centered, and includes an online thinking tools project ready for use in the classroom. These tools can be used to reach consensus, build relationships with complex systems, and construct well-reasoned arguments. Training is for K-12 teachers in all subject areas as well as technology integration teachers.
