BRINGING MATH AND LEARNING TOGETHER FOR RELUCTANT LEARNERSDan Burritt, Consultant/Trainer, Cognitive Learning Center
Learn about MLE (Mediated Learning Experience) to activate the minds of reluctant learners? What are the types of learners we see in our classes? Thirty-five years of experience with special education, regular education -elementary -middle school and SED high school age learners. Come with your questions and engage in a dialogue about learning, higher order thinking, reluctant learners, and how to create or fine tune lessons for your learners. Link to ICELP.org and IRI.org

LIGHTS, CAMERAS, ACTION! FUN AND SUCCESS FOR ALL IN ALGEBRAAllan Bellman, Lecturer, Univ. of California, Davis
Digital pictures and movies are plentiful and very easy to create yourself with an inexpensive camera. Learn how to use digital pictures and movies to provide context for Algebra problem-solving activities, data for mathematical modeling, or practice with function parameters. In the session, you will see a number of methods to work with the images. The methods will cover all levels of technology, from none to high tech. The very visual nature of this material makes it accessible to all students.
862 LEVEL: 6-12 Col TchrEd TYPE: PRS
PROMOTING MATHEMATICS HISTORY THROUGH HUMORSanderson Smith, Instructor, Santa Barbara City College
Mathematics should not be deprived of its history in the teaching process. Math involves events, personalities, proofs, philosophy, humor, controversies, successes, failures, religion, discoveries, paradoxes, and general equity issues. The use of humor to promote mathematics history will be the focus of this instructive and amusing presentation.
863 LEVEL: 6-8 TYPE: INT
NASA SMART SKIES: THE “PLANE” TRUTH ABOUT D = R * TMiriam Landesman, Consultant & Gregory Condon, Education Project Lead, NASA Ames Research Center
Use an interactive air traffic control simulator to explore and solve real-world distance-rate-time problems. Apply proportional reasoning, distance-rate-time relationships, problem solving, and decision making to resolve air traffic conflicts. All materials, including the simulator and workbooks, are free online and are standards-based and classroom-tested.
864 LEVEL: K-3 TYPE: PRS
GROWING MATHEMATICAL CONTEXTS FROM COMMON GROUNDLiza Eichert, Teacher, Mary Collins School at Cherry Valley, Petaluma City SD; & Gena Richman, Teacher, Petaluma City SD
Can there be common ground between student-generated ideas, teacher-generated ideas and the state standards? Follow the journey of two multi-age classroom teachers as they walk you through their discoveries on how listening to their students helped them create meaningful contexts to explore math concepts linked to the state standards. We will share ways to connect robust math strands into service learning projects and inquiry generated by students.
865 LEVEL: 3-12 TYPE: INT
FRACTIONS WITHOUT PAIN: RODS, DANCE, ALGEBRA AND COMMON SENSETristan de Frondeville, President, PBL Associates
Wouldn’t it be great to have fractions be fun and make sense? We will make a “babstick” to measure objects. You will learn how to direct teams of 12 students to choreograph their own fraction dance. Do you have Cuisenaire rods sitting in your classroom unused? I had them unused in my high school classroom for years, but now that I teach and coach elementary school, I don’t “leave home” without them. I am amazed how they help students master fractions, word problems, and algebra all at once!
866 LEVEL: 6-12 TYPE: PRS
USING AREA MODELS TO MULTIPLY, FACTOR AND DIVIDE POLYNOMIALSBrenda Romanek
Algebra I and II are accessible to all students when mathematics is presented in a more visual format. Teachers will learn how to multiply, factor, and divide polynomials using area models.
867 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: K-6 TYPE: W
GRAPHING ’ROUND YOUR SCHOOL: UNLOCKING YOUR SCHOOL’S MYSTERY Stephanie Rudig, Teacher, Fairbanks North Star Borough SD; & Gretchen Murphy, Consultant, Association of Interior Native Educators
Our session will model an annual school-wide graphing event that has been done in Fairbanks schools. During “Graphing ‘Round Our School” in Fairbanks, students have noted that good questions are the key to success of this event. This session will guide teachers in writing, focused reflective questions with solid and deep mathematics learning, as well as show how to start “Graphing 'Round Our School” in their own schools. Many examples of student work and photos help explain the event.

868 LEVEL: K-6 TYPE: INT
PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING IN GRADES 1-5Thomas O’Brien, Retired Professor Emeritus, Southern Illinois Univ.
This session discusses experiences in a variety of elementary school classrooms in a problem-based-learning environment (PBL) to help children construct very complex ideas involving inference as called for in certain games the writer has invented. The results, stunningly positive, have been reported in the U.S. and the UK. In this session teachers will play some of the games, hear about research results, and prepare to undertake and extend the games in their classrooms. This is not parrot stuff.
869 LEVEL: 3-8 TYPE: PRS
MATH - FEAR = SUCCESS: TEACH MEANINGKay Schlotthauer, Teacher, Kerman MS, Kerman USD
Teach meaning, not DRILL N’ KILL with this virtually costless and unique way of reinforcing multiplication facts! A factor chart helps build confidence with long division, fractions, greatest common factor (GCF), and lowest common denominator (LCD). Original math posters and techniques will be shared to build student confidence by “subtracting fear from math results in success!”
870 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: K-8 TYPE: W
HANDS-ON MATH ACTIVITIES THAT GUARANTEE UNIVERSAL ACCESSGayle O'Malley, Teacher, Anaheim City SD
Empower every child with these hands-on math activities that get your students totally involved. Lots of teacher-friendly handouts.
871 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: 6-12 TYPE: W
NSPIRING GEOMETRYRoberta Koss
We’ll explore the Graphs and Geometry application of the new TI-Nspire and see how you can help your students better visualize geometry.
