BUILD A STELLATED OCTAHEDRON: AN ORIGAMI AND GEOMETRY PROJECTMansoor Kapasi, Coach, Urban Education Partnership
Come
learn to build the beautiful Stellated Octahedron! This activity
excites kinesthetic, spatial, logical/mathematical and artistic
students. While folding the colorful origami paper and building the
final “spiky-ball” structure we will address geometric concepts and
properties that arise during the process, including those of parallel
lines, triangles, quadrilaterals, symmetry, and Euler’s Formula for
convex polyhedra.
Make It, Take It
A materials fee may be charged for some MITI sessions.

USE MANIPULATIVES TO PROMOTE UNDERSTANDING AND MENTAL MATHSiva Heiman, Retired Teacher, San Francisco USD
I’ll
demonstrate how to teach counting, addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division of whole numbers, and fractions using
manipulatives. You’ll see how students, as well as teachers, can build
more math understanding and mental math skills using these hands-on
concrete materials.
632 LEVEL: P TYPE:
MAKING ASSESSMENT WORK FOR YOUJeanie Behrend, Professor, California State Univ., Fresno; & Laura Mohs, Teacher, Visalia USD
The
best assessments are ones that provide glimpses into children’s
mathematical thinking. Written assessments can be designed to provide
information for instruction. Presented with an assessment designed for
primary grades, participants will explore ways to develop and analyze
written assessments to inform their instruction.
633 LEVEL: TchrEd, H, M TYPE:
DIVIDING WITH FRACTIONS, UNDERSTANDING WHAT IT MEANSDolores Emery, Consultant, Math for All Learners
Division
with fractions is often very difficult to understand. Use
manipulatives, games, and pictures to understand what dividing with
fractions means. Make sense of the invert-and-multiply rule. Solve and
write word problems where divisions of fractions are used.
634 LEVEL: BT, E TYPE:
DIFFERENTIATE MATH INSTRUCTION IN A SELF-CONTAINED CLASSROOMLinda Bauld, Teacher, Sunnybrae ES

you struggle with meeting the needs of your 30+ students? Join us and
discover strategies and learning styles that enable you to reach
students at various stages of math understanding. Receive computer
resources that can help you meet the needs of your students. Use key
math standards to help you differentiate and prioritize instruction.
See how manipulatives help all levels of math learners.
635 LEVEL: BT, TchrEd, M TYPE:
GENERALIZATION ON FREE CONSTRUCTION TASKSJoanne Rossi Becker, Professor of Math, San Jose State Univ.
This
session continues a sequence of interpretations of research on
development of the ability of middle school students to generalize. We
have results from a group from middle school students. This session
will share insights from students’ work on free construction tasks in
which they construct their own pattern from a given geometric context.
Implications for instruction in algebra will be included.
636 LEVEL: p TYPE:
EMPOWERING STUDENTS THROUGH MULTI-SENSORY STRATEGIESKaren Setzler
Tackle
trouble spots in math with powerful activities that support
standards-based instruction for struggling learners. Watch a video of
strategies in action; engage in 20 tasks modeled by special day class
teachers.
637 LEVEL: E TYPE:
SPEAKING THE LANGUAGE OF MULTIPLES TO MULTIPLY AND DIVIDETapp Hancock, Teacher/Consultant, Bessie Owens ES
Learn
an innovative approach to speak fluently by multiples through a
patented design of number patterns. Han-5 is a systematic way for
visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners to succeed in learning math
facts. The system magically turns a student's left hand into a number
line, a hundred chart, a times table, a division table, equivalent
fractions, ratios, and more. Materials given out will include number
puppets, a Han-5 Boogie Board, a story, and directions on how to use
the system.
638 LEVEL: H, BT TYPE:
THE DYNAMIC ALGEBRA DANCEElizabeth De Carli, Senior Development Editor, Key Curriculum Press
Learn
how to use the Geometer’s Sketchpad® to explore beginning and advanced
algebra concepts, including families of graphs, functional
relationships, and number properties. See how traditional algebra
topics can be made more engaging and accessible through dynamic models
and environments. No previous experience with Sketchpad® is necessary.
639 LEVEL: BT, E TYPE:
APPLYING LESSONS WITH RATIOS AND PRIMES ACROSS GRADESKeith Smith, Program Specialist, Pacent Learning Solutions
Some
concepts can be “leveraged” across multiple topics and multiple grade
levels. This session focuses on two such concepts, ratios and prime
numbers”, and reveals how different concepts across grade levels can be
related to one another and resolved by applying knowledge of primes and
ratios.
640 LEVEL: M TYPE:
GRAPHING CALCULATORS, SLOPE, AND PROPORTIONSStephen Lancaster, Assistant Professor, California State Univ., Fullerton
The
participants will use a TI graphing calculator (provided). They will
learn how to graph a linear equation and how the trace feature works on
a TI calculator. Activities will guide participants to use the trace
feature to generate fractions that are equivalent to the slope of a
line. Activities will extend this work to demonstrate how to solve
proportions using the slope of a line and the trace feature. This work
incorporates linear equations, slope, proportion, and equivalent
fractions.
641 LEVEL: BT, P TYPE:
HANDS-ON MATH IN THE PRIMARY CLASSROOMKimberly Kirley, Teacher, Park School
Come
and experience engaging and meaningful activities for teaching math
concepts in your K-1 classroom. I’ll present the foundation for why
building number sense is so important and then we’ll create samples of
projects you can take back to your classroom. We’ll work with 10s
frames, dot cards, counting racks, number lines, charts and numeral
tracks.
642 LEVEL: BT, P TYPE:
IT’S ABOUT TIMELynda Holman, Coach, Marietta City Schools
If
you have some time on your hands, join in exploring activities that
support understanding of the “linear number line” of clocks. Games and
children’s literature will be integrated into the lessons that teach
duration, clock time, and calendar skills.

MATH FACTS TO THE MAX: FLASH CARDS + SONGS = AUTOMATICITYCarl Sherrill, Teacher/Author, Sonoma Country Day School
The
‘Max’ system integrates songs, flash cards, and hands-on learning into
a child-friendly system for mastering the all-important number facts.
This approach promotes rapid responses based on the relationships among
numbers and on the patterns that are at the heart of mathematics. The
self-checking and self-pacing flash cards enable the teacher to meet
the diverse needs of students in a typical classroom. This resource
truly addresses all styles of learning.
644 LEVEL: E, BT TYPE:
PROBLEM SOLVING FOR GRADES 3-6Dave Youngs, Professor, Fresno Pacific Univ.

motivating problems and puzzles will be presented that should captivate
students as they practice a wide variety of problem-solving skills and
strategies.
645 LEVEL: TchrEd, BT TYPE:
MATH CURRICULUM TOPIC STUDYJenny Holmstrom, NBC Teacher, Sumner HS
An
introduction to brand new math study guides, and resources that help
teachers learn about, study, plan lessons, and assess mathematics
effectively. These are the best math methods materials I have seen in
20 years of teaching. Six resources will be shared along with an
example of how to use the resources. Can be used by classroom teachers,
math coaches, and district staff development specialists.

A^3 = ACTIVE ALGEBRA ACTIVITIESSherry Bailey, National Consultant, Holt McDougal
Algebra
students should understand concepts and be actively engaged while
learning. Come prepared to have fun and leave with “Active Algebra
Activities” that explore concepts and engage students.
648 LEVEL: BT, H, M TYPE:
MULTILINGUAL MATH: USE GROUPS WITH BILINGUAL AND EL STUDENTSBill Zahner, Graduate Student & Griselda Velazquez, Graduate Student, UC Santa Cruz
Group
discussions help students learn mathematics and learn to communicate
with mathematics. But how can you best use groups with your students
who speak languages other than English? During this session we will
briefly introduce multiple perspectives from teachers and researchers
on this topic, share several video cases of how teachers have used
groups in their classes with bilingual and EL students, and then engage
in discussion about how the cases we share apply to your mathematics
classes.
