560 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: K-3 TYPE: W
GAMES, GRIDS AND ARRAYS FOR K-2Ann Carlyle, Instructor/Supervisor, Univ. of California, Santa Barbara
We will use games and activities with hundreds charts, arrays of numbers and objects, and grid paper patterns to expand ideas of number sense, place value and landmark numbers.

CAHSEE LESSONS AND IDEAS FOR SUCCESSIvan Cheng & Wendy Schroeder, ,
In this session you will learn how to help students succeed in CAHSEE through carefully designed activities that engage and motivate students. Sample activities will be provided in this session.
562 LEVEL: 6-12 TchrEd TYPE: PRS
KEEP IT SAFE, GET THEIR ATTENTION, MAKE IT STICKJune Campbell, Coach, Orange COE; & Karen Delaney, Coach,
Learn how the brain works to deal with fear, collect information and keep it. Look at strategies that support the research. We will share ideas on how you can use the brain research to tweak what you already use in your classroom to get students’ attention and keep it.
563 LEVEL: 9-12 TYPE: INT
AGAIN AND AGAIN: UNDERSTANDING PERIODIC FUNCTIONS USING FATHOMVishakha Parvate, Fathom Project Coordinator, KCP Technologies
Learn to use the new sensor interface in Fathom—to collect sounds using a microphone and plot the data in real-time. Use sliders to plot functions and analytically model the periodicity of sound. Abstract the essence of periodic functions and use a data driven approach to explore anew this fundamental concept in Algebra. Learn to apply this to different real-life situations and integrate data-collection in math classrooms.

MAKING BEGINNING MULTIPLICATION STICKGena Richman, Teacher, Mary Collins School at Cherry Valley, Petaluma City SD; & Kathy Morris, Associate Professor, Sonoma State Univ.
Cut, glue and paint your way to multiplication with us. This hands-on session introduces a spectacular Mondrian-inspired art project to support conceptual understandings in beginning multiplication and activities to foster appropriate basic fact practice. We present different mathematical models for multiplication, and show how these activities connect to mathematical properties (commutative, associative, distributive, etc.) and definitions (e.g., prime, composite, factor).
565 LEVEL: K-3 TYPE: INT
FACT FLUENCY FOR GRADES 3-4: IT’S ALL ABOUT PATTERNSKaren Morris, Math, AIS Specialist, World of Inquiry School #58
Did you know that there are only ten multiplication facts to memorize, not 100? Participants will have an interactive opportunity to investigate patterns that will help develop fluency. Related standards, literature and games for parents will be shared.
566 LEVEL: 9-12 TYPE: INT
MEANINGFUL GEOMETRY: HOW DOES THE CALCULATOR CALCULATE SINE?Chris Paulus, Instructor, Santa Maria HS
At last year’s Asilomar conference, I led a session on ‘How sin, cos, and tan work’. During the session, someone asked how the calculator computes trigonometric functions, and I could not give a correct answer. That question encouraged me to investigate exactly how calculators do find the sine, cosine, and tangent of an angle. This year’s session provides a chance to show what I have discovered. Handouts with information will be provided. Plan to be involved during the session.
567 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: 3-8 TYPE: W
MATH AND MUSIC IN THE OAKLAND MATH CIRCLEJamylle Carter, Postdoctoral Fellow, Exploratorium
This hands-on activity will use music to illustrate mathematical and scientific concepts including the least common multiple, frequency, and amplitude. Become a drummer, make waves, and learn Audacity, free, open-source software for recording and editing sounds. These activities were used in the Oakland Math Circle, an after-school mathematics enrichment program aimed at African-American middle school students in Oakland, California.
568 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: 6-12 Col AdEd TchrEd TYPE: W
THE MATH AND SCIENCE OF SURFACE AREA AND VOLUMEEric Muller, Science/Math Educator, Exploratorium Teacher Institute
Explore the math of surface area and volume with cool chemistry activities from the Exploratorium. We will shrink, burn, and measure things all the way down to the size of an atom. By starting with simple measurements and using geometric and algebraic concepts, we will work our way through exponential notation and beyond the nano-scale. We will cover surface area, volume, ratios, proportions, unit conversion, the metric system, and exponential notation. We will use easily available materials.
569 LEVEL: 3-6 TYPE: PRS
0.5 = 0/5: UNDERSTANDING FRACTIONS AND DECIMALSMeghan Shaughnessy, Graduate Student Researcher, Univ. of California, Berkeley
The National Math Panel has indicated that rational numbers are both difficult to learn and important for success in the secondary grades. One challenging aspect of rational numbers entails understanding the relationship between fractions and decimals. In this session, participants will explore this relationship. Research findings about supporting students’ understanding will also be shared. Participants will receive activities to use with their students.
570 LEVEL: 3-6 TYPE: INT
70 OF MY FAVORITE MATHEMATICS WARM-UP ACTIVITIESLynda Wormell, Educator, California State Univ. Northridge, LAUSD
Get all students in class motivated, thinking, and working right at the beginning of the mathematics class time with a wide variety of tasks.
BT
571 LEVEL: 6-12 TYPE: PRS
PICTURING PROPORTIONS: VISUAL TASKS FOR ALGEBRA AND GEOMETRYLoring Coes, Mathematics Teacher, Rocky Hill School
Proportional thinking is at the heart of algebra, geometry, calculus and of everyday mathematics, too, yet many students are uncomfortable with their own proportional thinking skills. Here are some visual activities that can develop skill and confidence in this critical area of reasoning for middle and high school students.
