HANDS-ON MATH = CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING = PROFICIENT STUDENTSSheldon Erickson, Teacher/Research Fellow, Computech MS, Fresno USD
Short
on time to make your students successful on all the standards? Engaging
hands-on lessons allow students to develop conceptual understanding and
learn more, better, and faster than a teacher-centered approach.
Explore model units with sequential lessons based on geometry and
measurement standards. Research based and classroom tested. Make your
students successful with hands-on ideas to help students gain the
abstract understanding required by state tests.
732 LEVEL: C, H, M, E TYPE:
FIVE PRACTICES FOR PRODUCTIVE DISCUSSIONS OF STUDENT IDEASRandi
Engle, Assistant Professor, Univ. of California, Berkeley; &
Kimberly Seashore, Associate Director, Bay Area Math Project
We
will model and then discuss five practices teachers can use to make
whole-class discussions more productive. Through anticipating,
monitoring, selecting, sequencing, and connecting students’ approaches
to rich mathematical problems, teachers can conduct discussions that
both build on students’ ideas and advance a mathematical agenda.
Together, these five practices provide teachers with more control over
discussions as well as more time to prepare for how to respond to
students.
733 LEVEL: P, BT TYPE:
TEACHING MONEY IN THE PRIMARY CLASSROOMJonathan Dueck, Consultant, Fresno COE
Teaching
money can be as much fun as spending money! This session will give
practical ideas for teaching kids all about money. There will be time
at the end of the session to talk with other teachers about their
classroom experiences and share ideas.
734 LEVEL: M, E TYPE:
FOCUSED MATH INTERVENTION: WHAT TO TEACH/WHAT NOT TO TEACHCharlene
Hummel, Curriculum Specialist & Arnitra Duckett, Director of Math
Intervention Programs, Kaplan K-12 Learning Services
This
presentation will show how to engage struggling learners and make math
meaningful! Using driving as a metaphor to motivate students, we will
mathematically explore where we’re going (our destination), how to get
there using explicit instruction (rules of the road), assessing student
progress (test drive), and differentiating instruction (side trips). We
will even provide a jump for students who get stalled. There’ll be no
dead batteries in this workshop!
735 LEVEL: TchrEd, M, E TYPE:
USING POLYDRONS TO INVESTIGATE GEOMETRYCheryl Roddick, Associate Professor & Julie Spitzer, Associate Professor, San Jose State Univ.
Polydrons
can be used to build and investigate the properties of 3D figures. In
this session designed for grades 3-8, we will investigate surface area,
volume, and properties of common geometric solids. This hands-on
session will begin by having participants build the five Platonic
solids using Polydrons. Participants will then build other
three-dimensional figures and use these figures to investigate surface
area and volume.
736 LEVEL: E, BT TYPE:
ONE SMALL STEP IN MATH, ONE GIANT LEAP IN SCIENCELaura Moninski, Math Specialist, Glencoe SD 35
Math
and science often go hand in hand. Excite your young mathematicians
with high-interest science inquiries. Explore measurement, operations,
graphing and estimation through hands-on, solar system activities. You
will be able to take away ideas to use the next day in your classroom.
737 LEVEL: AdEd, TchrEd, M, E TYPE:
FRACTIONS: MANIPULATIVELY, PICTORIALLY, INTERACTIVELYBruce Baguley, Member, Cascade Math Systems, LLC
Explore
the relationship between a set representation of fractions and the
symbols denoting them. See how equivalence, inequality, addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division can be represented with
manipulatives. Develop pictures of the various operations using a
specific manipulative. Play with Flash animations of the pictures
generated by those manipulations. Leave with PDF files of blackline
masters and access to Flash animations of fraction operations on the
Internet.
738 LEVEL: BT, M, E TYPE:
BRING DATA TO LIFE WITH TINKERPLOTSAndres Marti, Development Editor & Heather Dever, Technology Editor, Key Curriculum Press
Too
often working with data in middle school is limited to calculating the
mean, median, and mode for a data set without any context. We’ll use
TinkerPlots Dynamic Data Exploration software to build graphs and
explore relationships in real-world data that students and teachers can
relate to. We’ll also look at tools in TinkerPlots that help students
understand what the mean, median, and mode really mean!
739 LEVEL: M, E TYPE:
PLAYING WITH PROBABILITY: THEORY TO EXPERIMENT TO WACKYPaul Giganti, Festival Director, California Mathematics Council
Come
see how this wonderful subject, full of fractions and hands-on
activity, can challenge your students to make hypotheses, design and
carry out experiments, and use tons of math in the process of learning
the concepts of this important life skill. Some theory and the
experimental process will be used to bring probability out of the flat
pages of the textbook and into the hands and minds of students.
Discover probability, the closest thing to the scientific process in a
math classroom.
740 LEVEL: P TYPE:
SUM ADDITION ACTIVITIES FOR PRIMARY STUDENTSPeggy McLean, Specialist, Nueva School
Hands-on
activities and games that build number concepts, addition facts, and
addition strategies. Solve challenging puzzles by decomposing numbers.
Open-ended tasks, challenges, and integrated lesson ideas are included
in the handout.

MYSTERIES OF THE SPHERE: THE GOLDEN BOX AND ITS DUALVictoria Brady, Educator, The Exploratorium; & Tony Freeman, Teacher, Lawrence Berkeley Lab
In
this workshop involving spherical trigonometry, we will construct the
Golden Box, consisting of two squares and four rectangles, and
demonstrate the relationships of its vertices and sides to the Golden
Ratio. Placing the box inside a sphere, we will show that the angular
separation of the two nearest vertices on the box will equal the
latitude on which they lie! Bring your calculators.
747 LEVEL: BT, E TYPE:
MATH TALKS: TEACHING MATHEMATICS FOR UNDERSTANDINGKatie Johnson, Retired Teacher, Berkeley USD
Students
learn math concepts best when with hands-on lessons, but when Math
Talks (Ruth Parker) are added to the lessons students deepen their
understanding by drawing on their experiences, verbalizing their
understanding, and making connections. Math Talks build community by
valuing student thinking and recognizing student contributions.
Participate in hands-on math activities and learn how to conduct Math
Talks that will enrich and deepen your students’ understanding of
concepts in math.
