During this two and a half day institute, participants learn student-centered, problem-based teaching practices based on the Van de Walle Professional Mathematics Series that help build the foundational skills students need to succeed in algebra, from number sense and proficiency to rational number concepts. Through first hand experiences, participants will:
- Investigate effective instructional practices
- Develop valuable strategies for teaching students algebra
- Increase understanding of student-centered math
- Acquire tools to help students learn number sense, number proficiency, and rational number concepts
- Deepen insights into how children make sense of math
The tailored break-out session for grades K-5 and 4-8 are aligned to NCTM's Standards and recommendations of the National Mathematics Advisory Panel.
| K-5 Topics: | 4-8 Topics: |
|---|---|
| Number patterns extended and generalized | Fractions, decimals, and percents |
| Composition and decomposition of numbers | Ratio as a comparison by division |
| Number and properties of operation | Proportional relationships and linearity |
Plus, you'll have opportunities to share experiences with colleagues about how to obtain resources and how to overcome challenges to fostering algebraic thinking at your grade levels.
