Developing Number Sense and Fluency
Participants will leave this session with materials they can implement into their mathematics routines tomorrow. Teachers will explore developing number sense through subitizing.This session will draw off the work of Sherry Parrish, John VanDe Walle and Christina Tondevold.
3-6 Session Facilitated by: Mrs. Theresa Feliu- Instructional Design Specialist (Kingsport)
K-8 General Session Facilitated by: Dr. Jamie Price (ETSU)
This session will introduce teachers to a resource created by Christopher Danielson titled Which One Doesn’t Belong? that is designed to help students of all levels develop their geometric thinking. Which One Doesn’t Belong? encourages students to talk, argue, and wonder about shapes and their relationships. Throughout the session, participants will be given an opportunity to interact with shapes in a new way, along with ideas to incorporate this into their own teaching practice to help students begin to ask questions and have conversations about geometry.
Recent Statewide trends focused on the need to strengthen the Geometry strand in Kindergarten through high school.
6-8 Session Facilitated by: Lisa Reis and Dr. Ryan Nivens (ETSU)
Participants will engage with a STEM lesson plan on Electricity. The mathematical focus will be on adding and subtracting integers using electric forces, as well as one-step equations using scientific formulas including Ohm's Law and calculating electric power.
9-12 Session Facilitated by: Travis Free, Theresa Fuller, and Ronea Murray (Kingsport)
RTI in Secondary Math – What Works for Us
Do you ever wonder how you can help all of your RTI students when they are all practicing different topics? It is every teacher's struggle to meet the needs of all students when they each need help with something different. We are sharing our processes for determining how far back to go to start closing gaps, the strategies we are using to reach students where they are, and the results letting us know that what we are doing with our RTI students is working.
