360 LEVEL: 6-12 TYPE: INT
DON'T JUST COVER GEOMETRY, DISCOVER GEOMETRYMichael Serra, Author, Teacher of Teachers, Key Curriculum Press
Your students can discover most of the concepts of a high school geometry course by using just part of each class period for exploration and discovery. Come join in the fun of discovering geometric properties using a variety of simple tools including patty paper, the DESE tool, string, pattern blocks and more.

ACCESSING MATH CONTENT AND LANGUAGE IN A RIGOROUS LESSONJeanne Ramos, Director, Secondary Mathematics, Los Angeles Unified School District
Participants will engage in interactive activities that model strategies designed to help English Learners build conceptual understanding of important mathematics while developing their academic language. Specific strategies that increase students' access to rigorous mathematics content and foster development of academic language will be presented such as, instructional conversations, cooperative learning, strategic use of graphic organizers, and development of academic language.

362 LEVEL: 9-C TYPE: PRS
GEOMETRIC SERIES AND BEYONDWally Etterbeek, Professor of Mathematics, CSU Sacramento
We will begin with applications and definitions of geometric series for the high school classroom and then apply geometric series to the solution of a partitioning problem. Geometric series will be generalized to develop series for trigonometric and exponential functions and applications of these series will be given for use in Math Analysis classes. We will conclude by using these series to give Euler's solutions to two of his important results.
363 LEVEL: 9-12 TYPE: INT
A NEW ANGLE ON SKETCHPAD: MARKER TOOL, HOT TEXT, AND MORE!Andres Marti, Senior Development Editor, Key Curriuculum Press; & Deidre Grevious, Teacher, Arroyo HS
Sketchpad 5 includes new tools (Polygon, Marker, Information) and Hot Text (dynamic captions linked to geometric objects). Use the Marker tool to add angle and congruency marks, or to draw. Insert mathematically formatted Hot Text into a caption by clicking an object, and then highlight the object by rolling over its symbolic name in the caption. In this session you'll work through mathematically rich activities while exploring how these new features can support both student learning and teaching.

HELPING STUDENTS ACCESS AND RETAIN MATH CONCEPTSM Tere Hirsch, Retired math teacher/coach, Montebello USD
Using current research, strategies and techniques will be presented to help students (especially English Language Learners) make connections so that they can learn & understand math concepts. Vocabulary building activities, organizers, foldables, songs, chants, raps, as well as other classroom-tested ideas will be included. Student samples will be shared.

365 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: PK-2 TYPE: W
READ ANY GOOD MATH LATELY? STANDARDS THROUGH STORIESLeslie Good, Teacher, Ellerhorst Elementary, West Contra Costa Unified School District
Use children's literature favorites to make the standards come alive in your classroom. Books and activities to teach geometry, measurement, sorting, counting, patterns, time, money, and basic facts will be shared. Hands-on activities and a detailed handout will be provided. Bring your favorite math story to share.
366 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: 6-12 TYPE: W
THE MATH OF MIRRORSJulie Yu, Teacher, Exploratorium
Does a full-length mirror really have to be full length? How do you draw an image so that it is recognizable in a cylindrical mirror? How are images reflected in a conical mirror? We will use an array of mirror investigations to create engaging ways to explore symmetry, geometry, and trigonometry. You will make-and-take different mirrors that provide a hands-on way of seeing these concepts and also integrate some art into your math class.
367 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: 6-12 TYPE: W
THE MATH AND SCIENCE OF SURFACE AREA AND VOLUMEEric Muller, Science/Math Educator, Exploratorium Teacher Institute
Explore the math and science of surface area and volume with cool chemistry activities from the Exploratorium. We will measure and calculate things all the way down to the size of an atom. Starting with simple geometric and algebraic concepts, we will work our way through square and cubic values for area and volume, ratios, proportions, unit conversion, the metric system, exponential notation and beyond the nano-scale. All lessons use easily obtainable materials.
368 LEVEL: 6-12 TYPE: INT
USING CONTEXTUAL SITUATIONS TO TEACH LINEAR FUNCTIONSHarvey Garn, Math Specialist, UC Berkeley
Our textbooks present linear functions in an abstract way that relates neither to students' lives nor their prior knowledge. Money is a great vehicle to bridge the gap from the concrete to the abstract. The 10 activities use money as a context to scaffold and build an understanding of the key pieces of linear functions, from finding the equation in a word problem to discovering the definitions of y-intercept and slope. Each activity moves purposefully between table, graph, and equation.
369 LEVEL: 6-12 TYPE: INT
BUILDING BLOCKS TO HELP ALL STUDENTS SUCCEED IN ALGEBRAIvan Cheng, Assistant Professor, CSU Northridge; Jaspreet Sandha & Nicki Golden, Teachers, San Fernando MS, Los Angeles USD
Students who struggle in algebra need lessons that are carefully scaffolded to provide a deep understanding of relationships and connections while promoting reasoning and higher order thinking. In this session many activities will be shared that serve as building blocks for success for all students. These guided discovery activities provide opportunities for students to reason and develop a relational understanding of algebra beyond just doing the mechanics of solving problems.

MAKE LEARNING MATH FACTS FUN: ALTERNATIVES TO 'DRILL & KILL'Nancy Blachman, Founder MathDelights.org & Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival, Nueva School & Princeton Day School
Flashcards, worksheets, and other repetitious material are likely to turn children off to mathematics. Instead, play dice and card games, perform tricks with magic cards, and solve number puzzles. Provide games, activities, puzzles, and problems that children will enjoy so that they will continue practicing just for the fun of it.
371 LEVEL: 3-8 TYPE: INT
FAMILY GAMES FROM MANY ANGLESLynz Mullaney, Math Specialist, Hueneme School District
Explore aspects of number sense, probability, measures of central tendency, and comparative analysis through strategically modifying family games like Yahtzee and Racko for effective use in your classroom. Participants will receive a set of five dice, deck of cards, and student-friendly PowerPoint to support transition to the classroom.
