Session+2

Session 2 Workshops:

Josh Mize Room # 409 (Hands-On Session) Participants will use a TI-84+ and a CBR2 motion detector and/or EasyTemp temperature probe to collect data that can be brought into any classroom from Pre-Algebra through Calculus. Potential data collections have models that would be linear, exponential, and sinusoidal. (HS/MS)
 * Modeling Data with Gadgets **

Jon Wray Room # 407 Emerging Web 2.0 technologies are often not yet widely adapted or fully actualized, but hold the potential to engaged and deepen student learning. Learn about some engaging Web 2.0 tools and devices that possess remarkable promise for transforming the mathematics classroom! (HS/MS)
 * What’s Your Mindset? Transforming Math Learning Through Emerging Technologies **

Karen Vaden Room # 408 Participants will identify the levels of engagement and share ideas on how to keep students actively involved and excited about learning mathematics. Come prepared to share activities that have worked well. (HS/MS)
 * Let’s Get Engaged: Strategies for Beginning Teachers **

Joan Niland Room # 608 An opportunity for AP Statistics Teachers to share items they have developed. Teachers should bring items to share on a flash drive with the hope that we can give each teacher an electronic copy. (HS)
 * AP Statistics Sharing Session **

Jenna Maple & Juliet Han Room # 609 A variety of projects and strategies to extend the curriculum into real world situations will be shared. Discussion will focus on ideas to take the processes of algebra a step further and reach outside the box. This session will highlight SMP 1 and 4. (MS)
 * Real-World Applications in the Algebra Classroom **

Roger Demaree Room # 602 Interested in teaching Differential Equations? This session will survey the issues relevant to teaching Differential Equations for high school students. We will discuss Differential Equations topics, the online support materials, an outline of how the course can be organized to cover everything in the college-level differential equations classes taught at the University of Maryland, College Park, and the paths by which students may receive college credit. (HS)
 * Teaching Differential Equations **

Jenny Novak Room # 604 Participants will in various worthwhile math tasks that could be relevant to both middle and high school courses. Common student errors and strategies for adapting tasks will also be discussed. (HS/MS)
 * Engaging Learners through Worthwhile Math Tasks **

Karen Stiller & Ann Hackeling Room # 511 How can you maximize the benefits of a co-teaching pair? Learn about a variety of activities and strategies a co-teaching pair can use to reach reluctant learners. (HS/MS)
 * Reaching Reluctant Learners through Co-Teaching **

Jenni Clarkin Room # 403 Every class has those students who don't get the material the first few times they see it in class and/or learn from different methods of presentation. When a student is absent, just looking at the notes they missed may not cut it. If you have a Smart Board and a microphone, you can use FREE software to create and post 3-minute videos that your students can watch anytime. Your students can also create the videos. (HS/MS)
 * Helping Students Through Videos **

Tara Molesky & Nikolett Varsa Room # 510 This is a session for teachers to collaborate and share ideas that have been successful in encouraging students to engage in discourse. Many students resist math discussion, and many teachers have activities that engage these students to do so. Teachers will share their successful activities/strategies based on various Math topics. After the session, the presenters will create a master document that will e-mail the great activities/tools to all for future use. (HS/MS)
 * Strategies to Encourage Discourse with Struggling Students **

Kelly Summe Room # 601 Participants will examine //Open Questions// as a means for increasing student engagement and participation in classroom discussions. Resources that can be used in class will be shared and door prizes awarded. (MS)
 * Promoting Mathematical Discourse using Open Questions **

Session Canceled

Margaret Caporaletti, Charlene Linkous, & Kelsey Reed Room # 605 Learn about how the Classroom Focused Instructional Process (CFIP) is being used at EMMS. We will share information on what CFIP is, how and why we began to use CFIP, and our experiences through the years using this data-driven process to promote student achievement. (HS/MS)
 * CFIP: One School’s Approach **

Nancy Cornelius & Chong Na Room # 607 Participants will be actively engaged in a variety of activities/strategies that require students to move & interact with one another while performing mathematics. Activities presented can be adapted to a wide range of contents and ability levels. SMP 1, 6, and 8 will be highlighted. (MS)
 * Moving On **
