Asilomar 2009 Mini-ConferenceNEW THIS YEAR!
An opportunity to immerse yourself in mathematics experiences to enhance your everyday practice. CMC-North is pleased to offer this new opportunity for your professional learning. Spend the afternoon with recognized experts in mathematics teaching and learning. These in-depth, hands-on, limited-enrollment sessions will provide interesting and educational activities to enhance your practice as a mathematics educator. For just $35 you can explore mathematics in a beautiful setting and "jump start" your Asilomar experience for 2009!
Check the Mini-Conference box in step 4 of the registration form, as well as a box to select one of the 5 sessions.
FRIDAY 1:30-4:30 p.m.
December 4, 2009
PK-2 ADD IT ALL UPSandy Silverman, Coordinator, San Diego COE; & Lynda Holman, Math Resource Specialist, Marietta SD
Discover addition! Play new learning activities and old favorites while considering "knowing" addition as a concept, as a basic skill, and as a tool for problem solving. Explore the counting-adding connection. Experience hands-on minds-on place value learning. Learn developmental strategies for implementing the math standards.
3-5
INCREASE STUDENTS' MATHEMATICAL REASONING AND PARTICIPATIONLeigh Childs, Educator/Consultant
How can we 'work smarter, not harder' to close the achievement gap, develop algebraic thinking skills, and improve individual students' numeric competence and confidence? These instructional strategies promote greater student participation and numeric sense-making. Activities and strategies work well for intervention and "Family Math" sessions. Handout ensures immediate use and includes engaging activities to improve students' performance, as well as to enhance mathematical reasoning and algebra success.
6-8
PLAYING WITH PROBABILITY: THEORY TO EXPERIMENT TO WACKYPaul Giganti, Math Festival Director, California Mathematics Council
Come see how this wonderful subject, full of fractions and hands-on activity, can challenge your students to make hypotheses, design and carry out experiments, and use tons of math in the process of learning the concepts of this important life skill. Some theory and the experimental process will be used to bring probability out of the flat pages of the textbook and into the hands and minds of students. Discover probability, the closest thing to the scientific process in a math classroom.
9-12
SEQUENTIAL REASONING AND PROOFMichael Serra, Author, Teacher of Teachers, Key Curriculum Press
This mini-course begins with exploration of Proof in Geometry, drawing on the van Hiele research and the work of deVilliers to establish a format for teaching proof in geometry consistent with the research. In the second section, you will explore the Whole Ball Game--investigate a number of activities, make conjectures, test them and prove them or find counterexamples. In the final section, you will play Sequential Reasoning Games and Puzzles. These games and puzzles are perfect for practicing the reasoning skills inherent in doing proof. Sequential reasoning is at the heart of what we do in mathematics whether it is proving our conjectures or solving problems.
Leadership/Coaching
COACHES CAN WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM TO IMPROVE THEIR PRACTICEHope Bjerke, Mathematics Coach, Shasta County; & Sherry Gerrodette, Mathematics Coach, Tehama County
In this interactive session we will develop ideas for supporting mathematics coaches in their efforts to work with classroom teachers. Coaches need to collaborate and function as a team to identify goals, develop strategies to achieve those goals, learn from one another, and improve their coaching practice. You will hear the stories of other coaches who have found greater success in working together. Hopefully, you will want to share your ideas and experiences.
