Make It Take It530 LEVEL: 6-12 TYPE: MITI
PUTTING TOGETHER THE PIECES: MODULAR ORIGAMI AND POLYHEDRAPeg Cagle, Teacher, Lawrence Gifted Magnet, Los Angeles USD
Extend
your students’ understanding of three-dimensional geometry through an
examination of the underlying structure and interrelations of
polyhedra, including surface and dihedral angles, axes and planes of
symmetry, and the concept of duality, using a variety of captivating
modular paper-folded models.
Make It, Take It
A materials fee may be charged for some MITI sessions.
531 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: TYPE: W
VEGGIES, VASES, AND VAN GOGH: TEACHING MATH THROUGH ARTLinda Becker, Visual Arts Chair, California Kindergarten Association; & Mary Shinnerer, Teacher, Ellerhorst ES, West Contra Costa USD
Discover beautiful prints, drawings, collages, sculptures and class quilts created by kindergartners. Focus on creativity, problem solving, math vocabulary and the California State Standards. Bring your camera!

FUN AND SIMPLE WAYS TO TEACH PYTHAGOREAN PROBLEMSSatoru Semitsu, Retired
In this hands-on session participants will prove the Pythagorean theorem by cutting triangles and transforming the pieces together to prove the concept. Then they will find the shortest distance on the figures and find the equivalent areas of the triangles. As an application of the theorem, the participants will construct semicircles on the each of the right triangles. Then they will be led to a discovery that the sum of the two small circular segments is equal to the larger circular segments.
533 LEVEL: 3-6 TchrEd TYPE: INT
PLANE TABLE MAPPINGCamilla Barry, Science Coordinator, Park ES
Students use protractors, pacing, and modified plane tables to create maps. Even 2nd graders love making these maps; 4th and 5th graders refine the map with scaling. Lewis and Clark and many other explorers used plane table maps, and they are used extensively today by planners and archeologists. Connections to math, geography, and history.

PRIMARY MATH CENTERS THAT REALLY WORK!Mary Peterson, Retired Teacher, Greenfield SD
Reinforce and strengthen math skills with dozens of inexpensive, and easy-to-implement activities that will motivate your students while maximizing time, materials and resources.
536 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: K-8 TYPE: W
ESSENTIAL EXPERIENCES FOR FRACTION CONCEPT DEVELOPMENTLynz Mullaney, K-8 Math Specialist, Hueneme SD
The National Math Advisory Panel cites fluency with fractions as essential to success in Algebra. Learn about experiences that will help students master key concepts through meaningful activities.
537 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: K-3 TYPE: W
STRATEGIES FOR ENCOURAGING DISCOURSE AND EQUITY IN MATHStephanie Biagetti, Assistant Professor, CSU Sacramento
Attendees will participate in numerous hands-on activities that encourage students to talk, write, and think about their mathematical understanding focusing on number sense, operations, and place value. Specifically we will explore counting activities, math journals, mental math, problem-solving with group sharing, number sense activities, novel ways to interact with place value, and more.
538 LEVEL: 6-8 TchrEd TYPE: INT
USING SIMCALC TO TEACH RATE, PROPORTIONS AND LINEAR FUNCTIONSBill Zahner, Ph.D. Student, Univ. of California, Santa Cruz; & Teresa Lara-Meloy, Education Researcher, SRI International
SimCalc proved highly successful for teaching rate, proportionality and linear functions in 7-8 grades in a large-scale trial. We will introduce the principles behind SimCalc, collaboratively do a lesson using the software and materials, and discuss how you can use this free software and the associated curriculum units to improve all of your students’ learning in these important areas.
539 LEVEL: 6-8 TYPE: INT
MOTIVATING STUDENTS WITH STATISTICS AND GRAPHSGreg Joy, Teacher, Discovery MS, Vancouver SD
Students create a research question, interview their friends, and display their findings in three graphical forms. A statistical chart and written narrative explain their findings on a thematic poster. Differentiated instructional strategies ensure all students are successful with this hands-on project. Always a student favorite! Participants will leave with masters, clear examples. We will discuss ways one might use this project in a math, science, or language arts classroom. Best for grades 5-8.
540 LEVEL: 3-6 TYPE: PRS
PROBLEM SOLVING USING THE BAR MODELAnne Paterson, Coach, Haman ES, Santa Clara USD
Discover an engaging way to help students through the problem solving process. Learn how to help students transition from conceptual to abstract understanding in problem solving.
541 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: K-3 TYPE: W
MAKING MATH FUN WITH HANDS-ON MATH CENTERSJodi Hardy, Teacher, Washington ES
Teachers will explore how to teach number sense through hands-on math centers that match the California standards for K-1 students.
542 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: 6-12 TYPE: W
WHAT DOES A PICTURE TELL YOU?Gail Standiford, Teacher, Fairfield HS
What do topographic mapping, architecture, engineering, police investigations, geology, and archeology have in common? These are all fields in which geometric properties about objects are determined from photographic images. This hands-on session will explore some classroom applications of the field of photogrammetry. Participants will use pictures to determine the heights of objects and trajectories of bouncing balls. TI-Navigator® will be used to engage everyone.
543 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: 9-12 TYPE: W
GEOMETRY CONNECTIONS: THE NEW CPM GEOMETRY COURSEDamian Molinari, Teacher, Phillip and Sala Burton HS, San Francisco USD
CPM Math 2 Geometry has been recreated as “Geometry Connections.” This course uses the same investigative, problem-solving, spaced practice approach as its predecessors but offers more open-ended, team-worthy investigations—while at the same time providing guidance for students who need it. Each lesson comes with detailed teacher notes which make the intent of Categorical Program Monitoring (CPM) authors clear and teachers with suggested questions for use with study teams and lesson closure.

DOES EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND? ASSESSMENT USING TI-NAVIGATOR®Cortney Roseberry, Teacher, Edwin Markham MS; & Teresa Lazdowski, Teacher, Monterey Trail HS
During this session teachers will experience the TI-Navigator® System as a practical assessment tool in a mathematics classroom. Learn how to engage and excite students, increase student learning through instantaneous assessment and feedback, and empower even the most novice teachers by allowing them to modify instruction to meet the needs of all students. Activities will focus primarily on Algebra I.

RECOGNIZING, REVISING, AND DEBUGGING MISCONCEPTIONS IN MATHRenee Thomason, Specialist, America’s Choice, Inc.
Middle school students who are struggling in mathematics are not ‘blank slates.’ Many of their ‘mistakes’ are actually misconceptions about mathematical properties and procedures. During this session we will look at how these misconceptions form and how teachers can use this knowledge when planning lessons. We will also look at example problems designed to lead students towards recognizing, revising, and debugging their misconceptions.
546 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: K-3 TYPE: W
LITERATURE IN MATHPatty Morrison, Teacher, Lane ES, Fresno USD
Students love to hear stories! Engaging students is a key element in teaching. Using literature to introduce your math lesson will engage students from the start. Come and receive 10 -15 minute lesson openers, written by the presenter, to use with your math lessons. Standards will be clearly marked to aid in correlating to your district math curriculum. Leave with a list of books and lessons to use right away.

IT’S ALL ABOUT 10^N: BIG NUMBERS, SMALL NUMBERS AND SCALINGLori Lambertson, Staff Educator, Exploratorium
Many of the numbers we use in teaching science are hard to grasp because they are so large or so small. Explore the powers of 10 through hands-on activities to help students understand the big and small numbers that explain the values we encounter in quantifying our world. We’ll integrate math and science counting, modeling, and scaling using the powers of 10.
548 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: K-3 TYPE: W
GAMES THAT PROVIDE PURPOSEFUL PRODUCTIVE PRACTICESheri Willebrand, State President Elect, CMC
Research indicates games increase number sense of students. Invigorate your mathematics classroom with games that provide independent practice and repetition needed to master key concepts.
