430 LEVEL: 3-5 TYPE: MITI
SIX SAVVY MAKE 'N TAKES IN 60 MINUTESRita Wespi, Math Education Consultant, Math Matinee
Looking
for that perfect filler activity to round out the lesson plan? We will
zip through six activities that reinforce geometry, measurement, number
facts, topology, logical reasoning and problem-solving skills.
Includes fact drill, two-player games, booklets, spatial puzzles and
more. Great activities for extension, class parties, math nights, or a
well-earned treat at the end of the week.
431 LEVEL: 3-5 TYPE: INT
DEVELOPING MATHEMATICAL REASONING THROUGH PROBLEM SOLVINGLinda Gojak, Past President NCSM, John Carroll University
Problem solving with rich mathematical tasks helps students develop mathematical reasoning in the elementary grades. Specific strategy retrieval and usage will help students to become successful problem solvers and to develop mathematical reasoning. This session will present strategies for grades 3-5 and give examples of how to organize instruction to include problem-solving experiences; where to find rich problems, and how to assess student work.

432 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: 9-12 TYPE: W
USING TILES TO ILLUSTRATE FACTORINGHardy Reyerson, Teacher, Bellarmine College Prep
Using tiles is a wonderful way to illustrate factoring trinomials. Students really enjoy manipulating a given set of tiles to form rectangles. In the process, they reinforce their factoring skills and relate geometry to algebra.

433 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: 6-8 TYPE: W
THE FRACTION-RATIO CONNECTION: IS THERE ONE?Marian Pasternack, Coach-Supervisor, LAUSD CSUN
Activities designed to help us think about and work with fractions and ratios to determine how they are alike and how they are different-if they are. Additional work with equivalent fractions and equivalent ratios-which we call proportion. How do we solve them?
434 Full; no tickets left LEVEL: 6-8 TYPE: W
ENGAGE ALL STUDENTS WITH INTERACTIVE AND VISUAL ENVIRONMENTSSheldon Erickson, Teacher/Curriculum Development, Fresno Unified/AIMS Ed. Foundation
Highly visual and interactive environments surround students. Yet school instruction centers on auditory and sequential procedures. Students must be engaged and challenged using a more active approach. See how hands-on investigations, informative comics, and videos can be used to engage students and develop the essential conceptual math understanding of the standards.
435 LEVEL: PK-5 TYPE: INT
QUESTIONING STRATEGIES FOR THE ELEMENTARY MATH TEACHERKevin Clevenger, Teacher & Carole Vargas, Curriculum Lead Teacher, Folsom-Cordova USD
Using questioning in elementary mathematics greatly enhances a teacher's effectiveness and student learning. Learn some techniques for interviewing students to increase your insight into what students know about mathematics and learn methods for questioning students to increase their conceptual understanding.
436 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: 6-8 TYPE: W
NUMBER SENSE + COMMON SENSE = THE MATHEMATICS OF NUTRITIONLori Lambertson, Staff Educator, The Exploratorium
How many M&Ms does it take to give you enough fuel to ascend a set of stairs? Explore the relationship between mechanical work and nutritional calories, measure the amount of fat in fast foods, and discover the mathematics of nutritional labels with unit conversions, rates, measurement, and percentages. Simple hands-on activities using readily available materials connect mathematics to the real world.
437 LEVEL: GI TYPE: PRS
'EXPANDING YOUR HORIZONS' CHANGES GIRLS LIVESCarol Langbort, Professor, San Francisco State U; Teri Perl & Stacey Roberts-Ohr, Expanding Your Horizons
Gender is still an issue in math and science. Expanding Your Horizons conferences encourage girls to pursue math and science careers. Hear from people who have participated in conferences as coordinators, workshop leaders, and volunteers. The session will begin with a brief video presentation highlighting what happens during an EYH conference. You will also learn about existing volunteer opportunities and explore how you can become involved with this program.
440 TICKET REQUIRED LEVEL: 9-12 TYPE: W
HOW HIGH? HOW FAR? MEASURING WHEN YOU CAN'T REACHTim Erickson, Math Teacher, Lick-Wilmerding High School
There is a whole family of situations we might call inaccessible distance problems-like that problem about finding the height of the flagpole. They all use similar triangles and proportion: if you know how far away something is, you can find its size; if you know size, you can find distance. In this workshop, we will actually do it, and connect geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, radians, and (gasp) logs.
441 LEVEL: 3-5 TYPE: PRS
A NUMBER-SENSE APPROACH TO LEARNING THE BASIC MULTIPLICATION FACTSJanet Gillespie, former title 1 specialist, author, Portland Schools, retired
Evaluate a schoolwide approach created in a Title 1 school to teach basic multiplication facts in a way that encourages students' reasoning and thinking while building fluency and achieving automaticity for all. Paper array flash cards, for use at school and at home, help students break harder facts into easier ones, speeding memorization. Students focus on connections between multiplication, division, and fractions of a set. Materials provided.

442 LEVEL: 6-12 TYPE: PRS
FROM FRACTIONS TO FERMATKurt Kreith, Prof. Emeritus, UC Davis
Every fraction a/b can be expressed as a terminating or repeating decimal, and long division can be used to show that the repetend has length at most b-1. However, if b is prime, there is more that can be said about the length of the repetend. After using spreadsheets to develop a souped up form of long division, we will arrive at Fermat's Little Theorem, a 300+ year-old result from number theory that has found new life in cryptography.
443 LEVEL: 6-12 TYPE: INT
MATH INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCEScott Johnson, EL Instructional Coach, Turlock Unified School District
By implementing a few key instructional strategies, teachers can improve student attitudes, increase student participation, lower behavioral problems, and raise test scores. Participants will find out what I have learned from 20 years of teaching/coaching and why students want into my class now. This presentation focuses on the needs of English Language Learners and at-risk students.

444 LEVEL: PK-2 TYPE: INT
MAKING SENSE OF NUMBER SENSERenae Conley, Kindergarten Teacher, Lassen View Elementary
Learn games and activities designed to help primary students understand place value, addition, subtraction and other topics related to number sense. Participants will receive copies of the games so that they can be used in the classroom right away! Join us for fun and games that really make sense out of number sense.
445 LEVEL: 6-12 TYPE: PRS
