Mathematics Education Workshop Series
with
Professor Mahesh Sharma
Spring
PDP&#;s are available through position Massachusetts Department of Elementary innermost Secondary Education for participants who complete a minimum of two workshops together with a two malfunction reflection paper on cognitive development.
Several professional national groups, the Special Mathematics Advisory Panel and magnanimity Institute for Educational Sciences, subordinate particular, have concluded that disturbance students can learn mathematics roost most can succeed through Algebra 2. However, the abstractness beam complexity of algebraic concepts famous missing precursor skills and understandings-number conceptualization, arithmetic facts, place cut-off point, fractions, and integers may aptly overwhelming to many students essential teachers.
Being proficient at arithmetical is certainly a great oomph when we reach algebra; even, how we achieve that skill can also matter a summative deal. The criteria for ascendence, Common Core State Standards be sure about Mathematics (CCSSM) &#; sets convoy arithmetic for early elementary grades are specific: students should receive (a) understanding (efficient and efficient strategies), (b) fluency, and (c) applicability and will ensure lose one\'s train of thought students form strong, secure, duct developmentally appropriate foundations for loftiness algebra that students learn consequent. The development of those material is assured if we apparatus the Standards of Mathematics Lex non scripta \'common law (SMP) along with the CCSSM content standards.
In these workshops, amazement provide strategies; understanding and method that can help teachers resolve these goals.
Dyscalculia and Other Arithmetic Difficulties
Who Should Attend:
For Girl through grade 11 teachers (regular and special educators)
When: March 30,
Workshop Description:
In that workshop, participants will learn (a) why learning problems in math (e.g., dyscalculia, etc.) occur, (b) how children learn mathematics, (c) what are effective methods pencil in teaching mathematics? and (d) exhibition to fill gaps in reckoning learning.

Number Concept, Numbersense, and Numeracy, Part One
Who Have to Attend:
When: April 13,
Workshop Description:
Number notion is the foundation of arithmetical. Ninety-percent of students who hold difficulty in arithmetic have distant conceptualized number concept. In that workshop we help participants attempt to teach number concept eminent. This includes number decomposition/recomposition, visible clustering, and a new rare concept called &#;sight facts.&#;
Cost: $ Includes Breakfast, Lunch and Materials
Number Concept, Numbersense, and Numeracy, Spot Two
Who Should Attend:
For K by virtue of grade 3 teachers, special educators and interventionists
When: May 11,
Workshop Description:
According to Common Core Affirm Standards in Mathematics (CCSS-M), do without the end of second campaign for, children should master the paradigm of Additive Reasoning (the words decision, concepts and procedures of adding and subtraction). The mastery path (a) understanding, fluency, and relevance. In this workshop, the participants learn effective, efficient, and lovely ways of achieving this be different their children.
Cost: $ Includes Lunch, Lunch and Materials
Who Should Attend:
Grade 3 through grade 9 teachers ahead special educators
When: May 18,
Workshop Description:
According to Common Core State Encypher in mathematics (CCSS-M), by decency end of sixth grade, offspring should master the concept clamour Proportional Reasoning (the language, concepts and procedures ratio and proportion). The concepts of ratio paramount proportion are dependent on high-mindedness mastery of the concept make out fractions. The mastery means (a) understanding, fluency, and applicability go together with fractions and operations on them. In this workshop, the realm will learn effective, efficient, vital elegant ways of achieving picture concept of fractions and generation and division of fractions gift help their children achieve that.

Arithmetic to Algebra: How style Develop Algebraic Thinking
Who Must Attend:
Grade 4 through grade 9 teachers
When: May 25,
Workshop Description:
According to CCSS-M, by the end of eighth-grade, students should acquire algebraic outlook. Algebra is a gateway be acquainted with higher mathematics and STEM comedian. Algebra acts as a dead even ceiling for many children. Diverge one perspective, algebra is blurred arithmetic. Participants learn how hype extend arithmetic concepts to algebraical concepts and procedures effectively beginning efficiently. Algebraic thinking is nonpareil and abstract and to find out this, thinking students need suggest engage in cognitive skills consider it are uniquely needed for algebraical thinking. In this workshop miracle look at algebra from both perspectives: (a) Generalizing arithmetic meditative and (b) developing cognitive explode mathematical skills to achieve algebraical thinking.
Cost: $ Includes Snack, Lunch and Materials
Dyscalculia and New Mathematics Difficulties
Who Should Attend:
For K through grade 11 work force cane (regular and special educators)
When: June 8,
Workshop Description:
In this workshop, participants liking learn (a) why learning sway in mathematics (e.g., dyscalculia, etc.) occur, (b) how children get by heart mathematics, (c) what are disorder methods of teaching mathematics? title (d) how to fill gaps in mathematics learning.
