JUST IN TIME-TEACHER Summer Series Whole Number Operations

Event Phone: 904.853.6628

This summer [Math]odology will replace our annual institute, “Essential Understanding in Mathematics,” with 9 virtual workshops, offered over two-time frames, (June & July). Teachers will have 18 sessions to choose from, with classes offered as both morning and afternoon sessions.

At [Math]odology we strive to provide teachers with tools to make the teaching and learning of mathematics accessible for all. Our “Just In Time” workshop series offers rich professional development on the precise topics you need. We understand your time is valuable so our workshops will focus on one concept and the development of the core knowledge needed to obtain success. Sarah will incorporate the concrete, pictorial, and abstract models and discuss how to relate these models to achieve abstract thinking and reasoning.

Since 2007, Sarah has held teacher, student, and parent workshops around the globe. Since the pandemic, she and her team have provided hundreds of hours of support to teachers, students, and parents through virtual workshops, webinars, and recorded videos. Her 20 years of teaching mathematics in K-12 classrooms along with her extensive teacher training and most recent authorship of both the think! Mathematics and Developing Roots places Sarah as a leader in the field.

The sessions have limited capacity; which means you’ll be collaborating with smaller groups and learning with educators from around the world. We hope that the time is right for you to join us as we teach less, and learn more!

Addition and Subtraction
During this session, participants will investigate the different strategies in addition and subtraction.  The focus will be both on developing a strong understanding of numbers in order to use mental computations but also relating place-value understanding to teaching the “why” behind the standard algorithm.  Participants will see the value of the CPA approach and how the teacher relates ideas in developing conceptual understanding around these operations.

Offered June 23rd and July 19th

Basic Bar Modeling Addition and Subtraction
Interpreting the problem structures around the operations helps students to make meaning of, connect representations and ultimately write and solve math equations.  Participants will use the bar-model as a visual representation to comprehend and solve word problems that involve addition and subtraction structures.

Offered June 23rd and July 19th

Multiplication and Division
During this session, participants will investigate the different strategies in multiplication and division.  The focus will be both on developing a strong understanding of numbers in order to use mental computations but also relating place-value understanding to teaching the “why” behind the standard algorithm.  Participants will see the value of the CPA approach and how the teacher relates ideas in developing conceptual understanding around these operations.

Offered June 25th and July 21st

Multi-Step Bar Modeling Problems with Whole Numbers
Interpreting the problem structures around the operations helps students to make meaning of, connect representations and ultimately write and solve math equations.  Participants will use the bar-model as a visual representation to comprehend and solve word problems that involve multiple steps.

Offered June 25th and July 21st

Math Fact Fluency
Participants will work through the three-phase process in developing fact fluency. Throughout this session, we will work on the sequencing of facts, develop intentional practice in working toward fluency and look at assessment opportunities.

Offered June 30th and July 26th
