Participants will experience "go deep" learning that provides language and tools to "grapple" with Fractions and Operations.Ê Presenters will model whole-class learning with built-in differentiation.Ê BYOD to access "smart not hard" online lessons!_x000B__x000B_EVALUATION POLL CODE:
Participants will actively engage in station teaching activities to unpack CCSS fraction progressions about meaning of fraction. Stations will allow engagement with various manipulatives to unpack linear, area, & discrete representations of fraction._x000B__x000B_EVALUATION POLL CODE:
Transformations are a major thread of the Common Core Standards. Participants will explore activities that will deepen their conceptual understanding of transformations for the middle grades._x000B__x000B_EVALUATION POLL CODE:

The number line is often an underutilized tool that deepens number sense and operational proficiency. We'll explore the importance of the number line as a visual representation for helping children develop greater flexibility in mental arithmetic._x000B__x000B_EVALUATION POLL CODE:
Join us for explorations in middle school geometric concepts! We willÊuse pattern blocks to dig deeper into understanding relationships among angles, lines and dilations. This session will include lesson plans for immediate implementation._x000B__x000B__x000B_EVALUATION POLL CODE:
Participants will experience rigorous mathematics lessons proven to work with Special Ed students. These adapted Common Core lessons will support ALL students who have cognitive challenges with equitable learning of high school Mathematics.
How can we support students who struggle in high school to achieve Common Core Mathematics: including Special Ed, English Learners, and All students who struggle to learn mathematics?
Number Talks are a powerful tool in helping students develop number sense and fluency. Number Talks encourage students' thinking and increase proficiency in the SMPs, helping students transform from rule followers to young mathematicians._x000B__x000B_EVALUATION POLL CODE:
Participants will explore the Singapore approach of using an introductory activity to inform and create a path tor students to develop foundational understanding. Examples will come from various text series._x000B__x000B_EVALUATION POLL CODE:
Good-bye NCLB and a-page-a-day.ÊHello interesting, challenging, intriguing, complex and FUN! Tangrams will develop special thinking and build a deeper understanding of perimeter and area with these FUN SMP-embedded activities for all students._x000B__x000B_EVALUATION POLL CODE:
