STRING POLYHEDRA WITH A TWISTPatricia Ritchie Reese, Curriculum & Instruction Mathematics Specialist, University of California, Davis; Academic Preparation Programs
Making polyhedra using straws and elastic thread allows the shapes to twist and bend, creating many hidden shapes from the original. Student samples using a variety of other materials will be displayed, providing many ideas for your own classroom. Come see some very creative ideas to share with your students to help them to visualize transformations, truncations, stellations, compounds, dissections, dualism, and more. Have fun making your own straw and elastic shapes to take home and explore!
831 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: 6-12 TYPE: W
GEOMETRY AND ALGEBRA: HELP STUDENTS SEE THE CONNECTIONSLaurie Boswell, Teacher/Author, Riverside School and Holt McDougal
The workshop will model several activities that help students see connections between geometry and algebra. Strengthen your students’ understanding of linearity as new geometric content is investigated. Concepts to explore include angle measure (complementary and supplementary; angle measures in polygons), congruence, and similarity. Experience with the TI-84 helpful, but not essential. All concepts explored are found in a standard geometry course. Paper and electronic handouts are available.

INTEGRATING MATH WITH ART, LITERATURE, AND GAMESGretchen Bly, Teacher, Math/Science Coach, Peter J. Shields ES, Folsom Cordova USD; & Cheryl Guevara, Teacher, Math/Science Coach, Peter J. Shields ES, FCUSD
Please join us as we share some of our favorite lessons. We’ll share our shape animals from “Brown Bear, Brown Bear,” the fun we have with tangrams, 100-day activities, fun with symmetry, and alternate ways to do daily math, front-loading lessons, our favorite songs, supplemental materials and web sites.

MEASURING RUBY:
UNDERSTANDING FRACTIONS THROUGH MEASUREMENTJulie McNamara, Academic Coordinator, Univ. of California, Berkeley
Measurement
activities often result in fractional values. Learn how to support
students’ understanding of part/whole relations using a measurement
model of fractions while “measuring Ruby.” Cuisenaire rods are used as
measuring tools to help students develop understanding of the meaning
of fractional notation, the importance of the unit, equivalent
fractions, and connections to fractions as points on a number line.
Includes children's literature connection to Loreen Leedy’s “Measuring
Penny.”

837 LEVEL: 3-12 TchrEd TYPE: INT
MATH AND CARPENTRY FOR THE YOUNGJeff Tobes, Sixth grade teacher, Helen Lehman ES, Santa Rosa City SD
Handouts will be distributed explaining the supplies needed, steps taken, and schedule. The group will also go through the process of making a step stool. A photo documentary will also be shown. Besides measurement and fractions, the students learn and experience accuracy, sharing, working as a class, that good things take time, appreciation of wood, and patience.
838 LEVEL: 3-6 TYPE: INT
INTEGRATING SKETCHPAD® ACTIVITIES AT GRADES 3-6Rhea Irvine, Curriculum Developer
Try out activities incorporating Sketchpad® across all math strands, with a special focus on opportunities to promote algebraic thinking. Through discussion and video of teachers who have integrated Sketchpad® at the elementary level, develop understanding of the benefits for students of working with dynamic representations and becoming adept at using a set of representational tools, and the benefits for teachers of harnessing the effectiveness of dynamic geometry in the core curriculum.

TEACHING THE STANDARDS THROUGH STORIESLeslie Good, Teacher, Ellerhorst ES, West Contra Costa USD
Use children’s literature favorites to make the standards come alive in your classroom. Books and activities to teach geometry, measurement, sorting, counting, patterns, time, money, and basic facts will be shared. Hands-on activities and a detailed handout will be provided. Bring your favorite math story to share.
840 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: 3-8 TYPE: W
CONCRETE TO CONCEPTUAL: USING MANIPULATIVES IN PRE-ALGEBRASandra Robins, Museum Staff Educator, Exploratorium Teacher Institute
Using concrete versions of algebraic problems, build problems and solutions with manipulatives. Then communicate your thinking process and solutions in four different modes: making a drawing or diagram, writing sentences, showing the solution with arithmetic, and writing it in algebraic notation. For students beginning a study of algebra it is important that a strong conceptual basis be laid. English learner students especially can benefit from multiple expressions.
841 LEVEL: 6-12 TYPE: INT
CREATIVE CLASSROOM PROJECTSBeverly Heigre, Teacher & Liz Milanovich, Dept. Chair, Notre Dame HS
Have you wanted to be more creative in your classroom teaching? In this session you will be introduced to several creative student-centered projects that can be used and applied in classes from Algebra I to Calculus. These projects can be modified for cooperative learning or individual activities. Projects will allow for varied assessments in the classroom as well as meeting the needs of different learning styles. Walk away with several activities to use in your classroom on Monday.

MATHEMATICS OF POP-UP BOOKSSara Moore, Director of Math and Science, ETA/Cuisenaire; & William Bintz, Associate Professor, Kent State Univ.
Pop-up books are a joy for children of all ages. There is rich mathematics behind the mechanisms of pop-up books. This session will teach you to make several pop-up mechanisms and will explore the mathematics behind the construction process. Enjoy award-winning pop-up books and find the mathematics behind pop-ups as you create a pop-up page of your own.
844 LEVEL: 3-6 TYPE: INT
MORNING MATH ROUTINE: REAPS YOU AND YOUR STUDENTS MANY REWARDSSusan Rickey, Teacher, Etna ES, Scott Valley USD
In only ten minutes a day you can reinforce or introduce divisibility rules, prime numbers, fractions, ratios, greatest common factor, least common multiple, decimals, percent, and angles with a morning bell ringer which motivates upper elementary students. Used as a daily opener, the students countdown, as a fraction, the portion of the school year. This all leads up to a great half-day celebration in your classroom. Handouts provided for the activities for half day.

LEARNING GEOMETRY THROUGH MANIPULATIVES AND ACTIVITIESGlenda Wilkins
Geometry is accessible to all when using a hands-on approach. Teachers will work with mirrors to help students develop an understanding of similarity, transformations, angles, and polygons.
846 LEVEL: 6-12 TYPE: INT
PROOF BLOCKS: A VISUAL APPROACH TO TEACHING LOGIC AND PROOFJennifer (Sherman) Dirksen, Teacher, San Mateo UHSD & Jinna Hwang
Come learn a new format for geometric proof that uses manipulatives to scaffold development of logical reasoning.

WHOLEMOVEMENT: WHY IS FOLDING CIRCLES IMPORTANT?Bradford Hansen-Smith, Independent Consultant
What is experienced in folding circles is not predictable from drawing circles. We will systematically fold and join circles observing and discussing the principles, patterns, formations, and fundamental mathematical functions that are generated; both 2 and 3D information. Learn to easily fold the Platonic Solids without cutting or measuring. Discover the comprehensive and informational nature of folding circles using only paper plates, bobby pins and masking tape.

MATH AS THE LANGUAGE OF SCIENCE: INTEGRATING IN ALGEBRA IVictor Selby, Curriculum Consultant, Math/Science
Improve students’ motivation for learning Algebra I with an enriched curriculum including examples of how mathematical models became the basis of the scientific method. Use a series of written essays to prepare students to discuss “The Power of Mathematics”, including a description of how math works as the language of science and how math/science relates to the human condition.
