Let’s Move Past Sharing Cookies! Using Context, Manipulatives, and Models to Teach Division

Thursday October 24, 2024 9:40am - 10:30am EDT

Do your students struggle with division? They don’t have to! It’s time to bring division to life by giving it context to support students as they build conceptual understanding of division. We can go beyond just splitting cookies into equal groups and dive into the two different types of division problems! Let’s make learning division a hands-on experience as students explore using context, manipulatives, models, and multiple flexible strategies that can be applied to basic division and beyond!

Using Manipulatives to Model Mathematics in Upper Elementary and Middle School

Thursday October 24, 2024 10:45am - 11:35am EDT

Hollis

As students get older physical manipulatives are often replaced by drawing a model. But what about the students who still need to physically move objects around? Join us as we explore ways to use manipulatives in order to help students build meaning. Participants will practice utilizing common manipulatives such as pattern blocks, unifix cubes, sticky notes and dominoes to model concepts such as fractions, probability, equalities/inequalities and proportions.

Making Binomial Expressions Accessible

Thursday October 24, 2024 12:30pm - 1:20pm EDT

Hollis

Equations are abstract; manipulatives are real. Binomial expressions have real-world shapes. Participants will use materials to deconstruct and reconstruct algebraic models. Observation and handling start the learning curve. Nearly barrier-free interaction with labeled materials leads to discovery, self-correction, lower student frustration, and enhanced algebraic content delivery. (Grades 3-10)

Building Number Sense with Card Games

Thursday October 24, 2024 1:40pm - 2:30pm EDT

Hollis

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.

Shifting from Learning Math to Doing Math - The Power of SMP 4

Friday October 25, 2024 9:40am - 10:30am EDT

Hollis

What does it mean to model WITH math? How is it that different from modeling the math in word problems? And why does it matter? In this session, we help to clarify the often confusing language of Mathematical Practice #4, and explore how we can harness students’ curiosity and use mathematics to explore questions and problems from the world outside our classrooms.

Thinking About Place Value: Guiding Students to Reason and Reflect

Friday October 25, 2024 1:40pm - 2:30pm EDT

Hollis

Understanding (or not understanding) place value will follow students along their math journey. Participants will explore the K-2 standards progression while learning ways to guide students to reason about numbers. We will share ways to elicit student thinking to deepen conceptual understanding and avoid common misconceptions. Learn how we have used routines, centers, counting collections, thinking classroom tasks, and assessments to support students to reason and reflect about place value.
