ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION of Fractions : GRADES 3-5
2022-06-14 09:00 - 11:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Online, Santa Cruz
In this session you will investigate the conceptual teaching of addition and subtraction
of fractions. We will explore how and when to use common multiples and find and use
the greatest common factor. Additionally, we will be linking hands-on manipulatives
to addition and subtraction algorithms. We will utilize the CCSS Progression
Documents to model how to teach the beginnings of fractions through the algorithms.
Date: June 14, 2022 from 9am to 11am.

WHAT IS A FRACTION? GRADES 3-5.
2022-06-13 09:00 - 11:00 | Online, Santa Cruz
In this session we will investigate the conceptual teaching of fractions. We will use
concrete examples and representations for understanding the basics of “what is a
fraction” through equivalent fractions and LCM/GCF. The CCSS Progression
Documents will be used to help with sequencing and instructional models.
Date: June 13, 2022 from 9am to 11am

CMP@CPP Virtual Summer Institute 2022
2022-06-06 09:30 - 12:00 | Online, Santa Cruz
WORKSHOP: PREPARING AND STAYING RESILIENT THROUGH CHANGE
The past two years brought sudden and unexpected changes for teachers at every level. We moved from in-person to online instruction, and back again. And now, as mathematics teachers, we are preparing for a new CA Mathematics Framework. At the same time, our students’ lives have been disrupted and it has been left to educators to engage students, attend to equity, socio-emotional and learning needs. How do we stay resilient through all of these changes? In this summer mathematics institute, we will take a deep dive into specific strands (data science, ELL, and equity) and explore how to develop aligned K-12 tasks together. We will also spend a day with Dr. Kelly Morton of Loma Linda University, to explore strategies for “care workers” (nurses, teachers, and others who did not stop working during the pandemic) to learn about maintaining resilience in the face of more change.
Our schedule of speakers include:
Dr. William Zahner
Topic: Mathematics & English Language Learners
Dr. Charles Wilkes
Topic: Equity in the Mathematics Classroom
Dr. Ben Ford
Topic: A Look at the New Mathematics Frameworks with a Focus on the Data Science Standards
Dr. Kelly Morton
Topic: Staying Resilient as a Care Worker

CMP@CPP Monthly Workshop – Getting Ready to Teach Statistics and Data Science
2022-03-15 17:00 - 19:00 | Online, Santa Cruz
From data presented in news on topics such as elections and public health, to data analytics reported from social media and fitness apps, data permeate many aspects of daily life. Calls for data science education focus on the need for all students to become data literate through K-12 education in order to be active and well-informed members of society. Several states are leading data science education efforts by incorporating more statistics and data science in their PreK-12 mathematics standards. In this workshop, we will discuss recommendations, resources, activities, and investigations to use directly in the classroom that are aligned with the most current guidelines to help deliver statistics and data science in their classroom.

Celebration of Women in Mathematics: Enabling Science through Data Science at Berkeley Lab
2022-03-11 09:00 - 10:00 | Online, Santa Cruz
Understanding environmental systems, providing clean water, predicting water availability, and understanding material properties are just a few of the areas where data science is enabling science breakthroughs. This talk by Dr. Deb Agarwal (Senior Scientist, Data Science and Technology) will describe some of these science challenges and the role for data science in helping to address these challenges. In a national laboratory environment, the focus is on team science and tackling challenges that require an integrated team of people from many disciplines. In this talk Dr. Agarwal will describe some of the challenges data scientists are helping to solve and some of the next data science and machine learning challenges that need to be tackled.

Division of Fractions
2022-03-05 09:00 - 11:00 | Online, Santa Cruz
DIVISION of Fractions: Grades 4-6
In this session you will explore ways to help students
conceptually understand division of fractions. We will
use hands-on manipulatives and the rectangular area
model of division. How does the concept relate to the
algorithm? Why do we flip the second fraction when we
divide? We will utilize the CCSS Progression Documents
to model how to teach the beginnings of fractions through
the algorithms.

2022-03-01 18:00 - 19:30 | Online, Santa Cruz
It’s the end of your first year at Pigwarts and you are stuck in Professor Snipe’s Potions exam. He has given you multiple cauldrons and you are tasked to see how many ingredients you can place in them before they bubble over. If they bubble over, you have start again. Just when you think you’ve passed the exam, he adds more cauldrons. What now? Can you still pass the exam? Register: https://forms.gle/6frcFvZNvmRxXpkj8

Focus on Student Thinking: Engage & Reflect
2022-02-09 16:00 - 17:15 | Online, Santa Cruz
Designed by the Math Project at Sacramento State for K-12 teachers of mathematics, these workshops (held via Zoom) are designed to not only deepen your understanding of mathematics, but also to help you reflect on what learning was like last year. With a focus on student thinking we will ask ourselves, “What is worth keeping?”
For our last FOSTER event of the school year we will be working on the “Uncut Spaghetti” problem. Pass through every square with one spaghetti noodle, making sure to always:
– Move to an adjacent square that is above, below, to the right or left of the square
– Choose the square with the smallest value, when there is a choice
– Only move through open squares that haven’t been passed through before
How does this translate to “What to keep?”
Let’s just say, it’s always good to have a plan, but when the noodles fall we need to get creative and stay flexible!

Math Teachers’ Circle @ CSUDH: I Walk the Line(s)
2022-02-01 18:00 - 19:30 | Online, Santa Cruz
Come work collaboratively with other math teachers to enrich your problem solving and subject matter knowledge!
Imagine that you live in the city of Cartesia whose streets lie on the lines of a square grid. How can you move around in such a city? How many ways are there for you to move from one point to another? How can you account for obstacles you might encounter as you are moving around the city? In this session, we will explore this situation, uncover what deeper mathematics lies behind it, and discover connections to other seemingly unrelated problems.
The CSUDH Math Circle brings together K-12 educators and mathematicians to work on interesting problems and topics in mathematics. Math circle meetings are interactive and lead to deep mathematical concepts.
