Explore instructional practices to conceptually teach the work of fractions and decimals in 5th grade classrooms. Required for all teachers in that grade/content area.
Explore instructional practices to conceptually teach multiplication and division in 3rd and 4th grade classrooms. Required for all teachers in that grade/content area.
Let's look at ways to encourage students to have a growth mindset in mathematics, while encouraging them to see math in a visual, creative way. We will work through Jo Boaler's week of inspirational math activities and discuss how to best incorporate them into your curriculum this year.
Becoming more "student-centered" has become the new big buzz word in education. But research clearly shows that students learn mathematics at higher levels when they are the ones doing the thinking, the talking, the persevering, and the connecting - or simply put, when they are the center of their learning. In this session, we will look at some practical strategies to help make your students the center your classroom and thus the center of their learning.

Participants will take a look at changes made over the summer to the UCPS Pacing Guide and will have an opportunity to get more familiar with instructional resources that were added. Required for all teachers in that grade/content area.
This session focuses on strategies to help students model and understand fraction division as it progresses from 5th to 7th grade in the revised NC math standards. Strategies such as using the common denominator, naming fraction remainders, and deriving the standard algorithm will be modeled and discussed.
Do your students struggle with analytical and critical thinking skills? Come experience several different warm ups specifically designed to provoke thought and discussion for our young mathematicians at any level.
Want to learn more about the Desmos graphing calculator and all that it can do? Come to this session for hands-on learning for any level: beginner, intermediate, or advanced.

This session is highly recommended for all middle school and high school math teachers. We will look at various mathematical concepts and see how they are introduced and developed through middle and high school courses. If you are a 6-12 math teacher, please try to attend one of these sessions!
This session will facilitate learning for teachers to grow their understandings of inquiry based instruction and the 3E model. Teachers will have opportunities to discuss methods for purposeful task selection, questioning strategies to facilitate discussion, and explore meaningful extension activities.
Create an environment to foster natural curiosity of children through math! This includes mathematicians with a mindset to problem solve, respect a variety of thinking and methods of others, and believe in their own abilities. Building a math community is essential to growing students who believe they can do math. Required for all teachers in that grade/content area.
Tiered mastery builds a solid foundation that focuses on the most heavily tested standards found within the grade level curriculum. The analysis of mastery data allows teachers to build focused strategy groups, remediate, and reassess. This design meets the student where they are, scaffolds their learning, and supports individual growth.

Desmos is no longer just a fancy online graphing calculator but also a platform for dynamic interactive learning. In this session, Math teachers will share interactive classroom activities that can be done using Desmos. Participants will experience activities from student perspective as well as seeing the teacher's perspective.
We will explore a percent progression and the role of ratio reasoning using percent bar models and ratio boxes. Participants will work with tasks to introduce percents, work with benchmark percents, and solve problems including percent increase and decrease.
