IS THERE A 4TH DIMENSION? DISCOVERIES IN GEOMETRY AND NUMBERSEdward Burger, Professor of Math, Williams College
What are the life lessons we can offer our students that will stay with them long after they "solve for x"? How can math allow us to see a universe beyond our everyday world? Here we celebrate the joys of mathematics and mathematical thinking by exploring the world of the fourth dimension. This lively and entertaining journey will involve the arts as well as offer classroom enrichment activities.
663 LEVEL: 6-12 TYPE: INT
DYNAMIC MODELS OF EQUATIONS AND OPERATIONS USING SKETCHPAD®Tobias Jaw, Teacher, Arroyo HS; & Andres Marti, Development Editor, Key Curriculum Press
Come discover the full range of middle and high school mathematics content that can be explored in Sketchpad’s dynamic environment: animations to connect slopes with rates; dynamic number lines and algebars to investigate properties of operations and exponents; function machines, balances, and other models of equations and inequalities; three-dimensional puzzles; data distribution models; dynagraphs and more. Prepare to be immersed in activities you’ll want to assign to your students!

USING THE TI-CALCULATOR IN THE CLASSROOMHardy Reyerson, Teacher, Bellarmine College Prep
This veteran teacher of 43 years will demonstrate how you can bring wow to your math classes. Your classes will be energized by the use of simple programs that you will learn how to do. This presenter has used these programs in classes from Algebra 1 to BC Calculus.
665 LEVEL: 6-8 TYPE: INT
BRIDGING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CONTENT TO PRACTICEHarriette Stevens, Director, ACCESS Math Program, Univ. of California, Berkeley; & Jennifer Knudsen, Senior Math Educator, SRI International
This interactive workshop introduces a series of mathematics activities and professional development materials designed to help teachers learn new mathematics content and apply it in two different aspects of practice. Participants will gain insights into how these materials provide students, including English learners, access to high-level mathematics. We will also discuss how the materials can be adapted for local needs.

MAKE TOPOGRAPHICAL MAPS OF ANY LOCATION USING GOOGLE EARTHModesto Tamez, Teacher in Residence, Exploratorium
Using the free program Google Earth, a protractor, a six-foot PVC pipe, and some string students learn to make real topographical maps of any location on earth. Students download photographs from Google Earth, learn some simple geological techniques, and are able to make a topographical map of their surroundings.

ENGLISH LEARNERS, MATH, AND LITERATUREGloria Erickson, Instructional Coach, Van Allen School, Escalon USD; & Jacqueline Villines, Teacher, Collegeville School
A scaffolded sequence of specially designed academic instruction in English (SDAIE) strategies using age-appropriate children’s literature and manipulatives to teach math concepts. Particular emphasis on the language of math and conceptual development. Bring a camera to document the strategies and sequence of presentation.
668 LEVEL: 3-8 TYPE: PRS
SUCCESS STRATEGIES FOR ALLRebecca Newburn, Teacher, Larkspur SD
Learn about tools which support the wide variety of learners in your class, including think-pair-shares, total class response, blogging and more. Great strategies and handouts for ESL and non-ESL.
669 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: 6-8 TYPE: W
FRACTIONS IN POP-UP FRACTALSSage Moore, Teacher, Skyline HS
This project involves folding, measuring, calculating, and cutting construction paper to create such fractals as a Sierpinski Gasket. Students calculate and cut fractions of measurements, using fractions as both a measure and as an operation. The results are beautiful! We will share the math reflection prompts students use to develop this into a project which explores change in fractals. These activities support deeper understanding of fractions and operations on them.
670 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: Col TchrEd TYPE: W
GEOMETRY ACTIVITY: HEIGHT MEASUREMENTS USING A CLINOMETERTimothy Cooley, Professor, Coast Community College District
A clinometer is an optical device for measuring angles of elevation. In this workshop participants will learn how to construct a clinometer, use it to measure angles of elevation, and carry out computations to approximate the height of a structure. Basic geometry using the trigonometric tangent function and a scientific calculator are all that is needed. Please bring your own scientific calculator. Free clinometer manipulative and student handouts will be provided.
671 LEVEL: 6-12 TYPE: PRS
USING NCTM ONLINE RESOURCES IN THE CLASSROOMPatrick Vennebush, Online Projects Manager, NCTM
It’s been an exciting year for Illuminations. Thanks to the generous funding of the Verizon Foundation, NCTM has been able to develop new applets, lessons, brainteasers and online games. Participants in this session will use a computer applet to explore mean, median, and distribution; play an online version of Krypto and uncover the higher-level mathematics in this card game; solve online math challenges; and challenge other participants to play online math games recently created by NCTM.
