Sessions:
760 LEVEL: AdEd, TchrEd, C, H, M TYPE:
GEOGEBRA WORKSHOP: FREE DYNAMIC MATHEMATICS FOR EVERYONEMarkus Hohenwarter, Research Professor, Florida Atlantic Univ.
GeoGebra is free, open source dynamic mathematics software that allows students and teachers to visualize and experiment with geometric and algebraic representations of mathematical concepts. Participants will be introduced to this easy to use, multilingual and cross-platform tool in hands-on activities ranging from middle school up to college level. Constructions can be saved as interactive web pages and are shared on the GeoGebra Wiki, a pool of free teacher created online materials.
761 LEVEL: p e TYPE:
JEOPARDY! FOR THE LITTLE GUYSMarty Bonsangue & Leslie Santillan, ,
In this session we will play a game of Jeopardy geared for children at different mathematical and developmental levels in grades 3-5. Classroom-ready CD provided to all participants.
762 LEVEL: H, TchrEd TYPE:
GOING FROM “I DON’T LIKE MATH” TO “MATH ISN’T THAT BAD”Andre Mathurin, Teacher & Jose Molina, Teacher, Bellarmine College Preparatory
High stakes testing and the rush to calculus have made algebra competence the benchmark for our math curriculum. What about students who don’t meet with academic success in algebra? An inability to factor polynomials does not preclude a student from learning about bigger math ideas like algorithms. Come see how Graph Theory, Number Theory, and Cryptography can provide realistic and understandable opportunities for students to engage in rich mathematics regardless of their algebra ability level.
763 LEVEL: H TYPE:
DO THE WAVE: TRIGONOMETRY COMES ALIVE WITH SKETCHPAD®Scott Steketee, Senior Technology Editor, Key Curriculum Press
The objectives of this session are to: encourage teachers to use dynamic math software to enliven the study of sinusoids in trigonometry; show how to present and study this topic in a way that allows students to create and observe periodic motion; include periodic motion examples from physics and other areas of science; deepen student (and teacher) mathematical understanding of periodic motion and its applications, from sound and light waves to vibrating guitar strings to the seasons.
764 LEVEL: M TYPE:
NASA PLANETARY EXPLORATION: PRE-ALGEBRA AND GEOMETRY TOPICS Edward Landesman, Professor Emeritus, Univ. of California, Santa Cruz; & Rebecca Green, Coordinator, NASA Ames Research Center
You will engage in interactive investigations based on NASA’s mission to determine which planets are appropriate for human exploration. You will compare earth to other planets and moons in the solar system. Activities use NASA data and software for problem solving, measurement, unit conversion, geometry, and proportional reasoning. The NASA Quest “Cratering the Moon” Challenge studies area, volume, and scale of lunar and classroom-made craters. All materials and software are free of charge.
765 LEVEL: m h TYPE:
LEARNING REASONING THROUGH LEWIS CARROLL’S GAME OF LOGICDarrell Manderscheid & Marilynn Manderscheid, ,
The GAME OF LOGIC will help you teach students to reach logical conclusions and reject those that are illogical. Lewis Carroll uses a clever twist on Venn diagrams in this game. Take home a game set.
766 LEVEL: M, H TYPE:
MDTP: ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING THE CLASSROOM CONNECTIONRoxanne Mancha, Consulting Teacher, Fairfield-Suisun USD; & Emiliano Gomez, MDTP Site Director, Math Diagnostics Testing Project, UC Berkeley
An interactive session demonstrating how teachers can use MDTP materials to set appropriate instructional goals, involve students in setting and reaching their learning goals, and evaluate if instructional choices were effective. Teachers will learn the types and levels of diagnostic and written response materials available as a free service from MDTP, and how they can be directly connected to the classroom.
767 LEVEL: M, H TYPE:
PATTY PAPER IN GEOMETRY: CONSTRUCTIONS AND OTHER ACTIVITIESJean Simutis, Professor & Kate Reed, Professor, CSU East Bay
The basic Euclidean constructions can be done easily by folding transparent paper. Use the basic constructions to look at parallel and perpendicular lines, midpoints, and angle bisectors. Find special points for a triangle by using these techniques. This paper can also be used when studying transformational geometry. This will be investigated if time allows.
768 LEVEL: E, P TYPE:
LOOK EAST TO SOLVE PROBLEMS: SINGAPORE MATH BY THE NUMBERSTricia Salerno, Consultant/Coach, Benchmark School
“John and Paul spent $45 altogether. John and Henry spent $65 altogether. If Henry spent 3 times as much as Paul, how much did John spend?” (Primary Mathematics Standards Edition 5A page 41.) Fifth graders studying Singapore Math can solve this problem, without using algebra. Focusing on problem solving and computational skills using a concrete-pictorial-abstract approach to learning results in a deep understanding and appreciation of mathematics.
769 LEVEL: P, E, BT TYPE:
ACCESS FOR ALL! GAMES AND ACTIVITIES FOR SUCCESS!Steve Lindblom, Director, Vancouver SD
In this session, attendees will participate in games that are accessible by all students. The games are rich in opportunities for problem solving, and reasoning while supporting literacy. Each game may be used to document Specially Designed Instruction. Each participant will leave with many ideas for their classroom.
770 LEVEL: H, C, TchrEd TYPE:
CIRCLES THAT DON’T LOOK LIKE CIRCLES AND MUCH MORE!Greisy Winicki Landman, Professor, Cal Poly Pomona
The trigonometric functions are mostly defined using the unit circle. In this workshop we will investigate what happens to two of these functions when the circle is considered not in its classical connotation. We will construct circles that do not look like circles and we will be involved in a genuine mathematical adventure: constructing these new circular functions and analyzing their properties.
771 LEVEL: E TYPE:
USE FREE WEB 2.0 TOOLS TO INCREASE MOTIVATION AND SUCCESSFelicia Suminski, Teacher, Technology Instructional Coach, Frederiksen ES
Motivate all students to demonstrate their thinking by integrating technology into your math curriculum. Teach with explicit meta-cognitive strategies and Free Web 2.0 tools to increase student success. This session will utilize technology to allow students more choice and creativity in demonstrating how they get to the right answer. Participants will leave with many resources and ideas that can be easily integrated into the classroom.
