Book Study: The Problem with Math is English
2022-08-17 16:00 - 17:30 | Online, Santa Cruz
All students need to learn the language of mathematics. This language-focused approach to learning mathematics addresses math vocabulary with very specific meaning, as well as multi-meaning words and symbols. Dr. Molina provides many examples of language-focused conceptual instruction such as a chapter on order of operations, and two chapters on fractions. We will meet and discuss during 7 meetings. Participants will receive a copy of Dr. Molina’ book: The Problem with Math is English.

Teaching Fractions Through Ratio Reasoning, Part A
2022-08-27 08:00 - 10:30 | Online, Santa Cruz
Moving from whole numbers to rational numbers is challenge for many students. Join us to deepen your own understanding of rational numbers and learn research-based and classroom-tested strategies that use ratio reasoning to build a cohesive learning opportunity for all of your students. This three-session workshop will focus on equal share problems, and ordering, comparing, adding and subtracting fractions. Participants will receive a copy of Empson and Levi’s book: Extending Children’s Mathematics: Fractions and Decimals.

CANMEE Lesson Study Facilitators Online Course
2022-09-12 16:00 - 18:00 | Online, Santa Cruz
Join with others to deepen your understanding of effective ways to start, facilitate, and support a CANMEE lesson study team with a dual focus on the student (equity) and math. It is recommended that you have some experience with lesson study.

Book Study: Teaching Mathematics Through Problem-Solving
2022-09-15 16:00 - 17:30 | Online, Santa Cruz
Join us to read and discuss both mathematical problem-solving and lesson study. The incoming California math framework recommends students learn through complex problem solving and investigations. Takahashi provides example units and lessons that develop both conceptual and procedural understanding. The lesson study portion takes you through the steps to collaboratively plan learning through problem solving. We will meet 7 times and you will test some problems in your own classroom. Participants will receive a copy of Takahashi’s book: Teaching Mathematics Through Problem-Solving.

Fostering Ratio and Proportional Reasoning, Part A
2022-10-08 09:00 - 12:00 | Online, Santa Cruz
Middle school math teachers set a foundation that creates opportunities for students’ educational and career choices. Ratio reasoning and proportional reasoning are essential for success in math and science. This three-session workshop will deepen your own understanding through a focus on percent ratio comparisons, rate of change, and measurement. Participants will receive a copy of Lamon’s Teaching Fractions and Ratios for Understanding, 4th ed.

Teaching Fractions Through Ratio Reasoning Part B
2022-10-15 08:00 - 10:30 | Online, Santa Cruz
Moving from whole number multiplication and division to multiplication and division with rational numbers is a challenge for most students. Join us to deepen your own understanding of rational numbers and learn research-based and classroom- tested strategies that use ratio reasoning to build a cohesive learning opportunity of all of your students. This three-session workshop will focus on fraction understanding in the areas of multiplication and division.

Teaching Fractions through Ratio Reasoning Part B
2022-12-17 08:00 - 10:30, 2022-11-07 08:00 - 2023-01-21 10:30 | Online, Santa Cruz
Join us to learn research-based, classroom-tested strategies for supporting student understanding of multiplication and division of fractions. Our teacher leaders will deepen both your and your students’ understanding of the concepts and useful tools to solve increasingly complex problems. We will build on what you and your students know about computation with whole numbers and transition into other rational numbers.

Teaching Fractions Through Ratio Reasoning Part B
2023-01-21 08:00 - 10:30 | Online, Santa Cruz
Moving from whole number multiplication and division to multiplication and division with rational numbers is a challenge for many students. Join us to learn research-based and classroom tested strategies to build a cohesive math learning experience based on ratio reasoning for your students grades 3 to 6.

Fostering Ratio and Proportional Reasoning, Part B
2023-01-28 09:00 - 12:00 | Online, Santa Cruz
Middle school math teachers set a foundation that creates opportunities for all students’ educational and career choices. Join us to deepen your own understanding of such complex relationships. This three-session workshop will focus on the development of proportional reasoning through the contexts of: division of fractions, sampling, probability, slope, similarity, and geometry. Participants will receive a copy of Lamon’s book: Teaching Fractions and Ratios for Understanding, 4th ed.
