ATMNE NH 2024

In this session we will explore how many fluency is developed over time wiht intentional planning, deliberate practice and intensive progress monitoring. We will look at setting up a school plan, Math Running Records, ongoing monitoring, individual goal setting, deliberate practice, intentional homework, scaffolded, differntiated workstations and more. Don't miss out! Come learn how to do this today!

Throughout this session, you will re-energize your knowledge of the 5 Practices for Orchestrating Productive Mathematics Discussions, especially anticipating and monitoring student thinking. You will use rich tasks in the elementary grade levels to think about unpacking what the mathematics content means in relation to your students’ understanding. By thinking about assessing and advancing questions, you can plan for future discussions that allow students to be at the center of the learning.

Developing connections between families and educators is essential for all students to feel supported and encouraged as mathematical thinkers. Learn how we are fostering connections, positive relationships, and productive dispositions through virtual monthly events for our students and their families. Participants will leave with ideas to bring back to their community to awaken student agency, family involvement, and math joy!

Having students develop number fluency is critical, but how can we do this? Come explore ways to integrate number talks and number strings to develop this essential skill and improve student efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility. Consider how developing strategies allows students to see themselves as capable learners. See how manipulatives can be used to further the development.

Card games are a great way to make math class an inclusive and welcoming place for all. Come learn about some of my favorite card games that are easy to create, require minimal prep and have a long shelf life. By changing the deck of cards we are using, we can leverage the same games throughout preK-5 classrooms to practice important high leverage concepts. Participants will get access to several different card decks to use with their students.

Can you imagine a designated time where students simultaneously get the math support that they need while also choosing the path that they take to get that support? Can you imagine a time where students had choice over math games that were tailored to their current instruction in math and to their own math journey? It is possible! Come participate in this interactive workshop and learn how to structure a math differentiated block in your classroom where students are engaged, have choice, and develop a positive math identity by experiencing it through the eyes of a student.

In this session, participants will have the opportunity to learn how important it is to provide voice and choice for students. Current examples of choice boards will be explored in all subject areas with the reasoning and explanations behind them. You will have the chance to see how impactful choice boards are and how different choices can reach the same goal. This session will have examples specifically for grades 1-4, however choice boards can be used at any level.
