The "I love Math" Classroom
– Explore different ways to set-up a math classroom where students can actively engage with their peers in the classroom, community, and beyond. Three different models of a math classroom will be presented and used to develop each teacher’s unique classroom environment. You will feel like an architect as you edit, draw and design your classroom using the latest in technology of pen tablets. You’ll have your students saying, “I love Math!” the first day of school!

Great Math Mind At Any Grade
- Wondering how to induce a high voltage of creativity, produce great performance outcomes because of increased memory and concentration, and have exceptional classroom behavior? Wonder no more! Learn how to maximize learning in the classroom using very simple methods that maintain the brain in its optimized condition. Using the BrainSmart techniques provided in this seminar, the Educators will create a letter to the community and poster for their classroom.

If You Build It, They Will Come: Creating An Electrifying Classroom Climate
– Apply the 3 C’s (Connect, Cooperate, and Challenge) approach to hold the attention of all your students. What you do the very first week of school sets the pace for the rest of your school year. With the ideas and instructional techniques presented, the Educator will use the latest technology and two big ideas from the seminar to integrate back into their classroom.

The Must Do’s For Every Math Grade Level (K – 5th Grade)
–So much to do! Not much time on our hands! Is how we, educators feel sometimes! If you work with dyslexic, bilingual/ESL, at-risk or recent immigrants with no prior schooling, then this session is for you. Receive a math overview that explores the main focus for each grade level and its importance to building a strong math program in an elementary school. Educators will create an intervention plan for this specific student population using the national, state, district learning objectives and the school’s current data.

Prove It!
– A closer look at Geometry and its uniqueness as to how children warm up to this subject as they develop through the grade levels. Educators will be provided with several hands-on opportunities to further investigate this intriguing subject. We will look at Pythagorean Puzzles, proving the measures of a triangle is 180 degrees, drawing geometric solids using the latest technology pen tablets and many other hands-on activities. Everyone will walk away with exciting activities to share with students,

Math and Your Bright Bilingual/ELLS Students
– What does this word mean? This is the most common question ELLS (English Language Learners) students ask if they are learning English. It is this area of language that a student often struggles with when solving math problems. We will look further into depth of what we can do as educators to help these bright students overcome this challenge by using specific instructional reading and math strategies so the student can ultimately solve the problem on their own. You might have students who are taking the state’s math English assessment for the first time in their academic life, if so, this session is for you. You will learn how to close the language gap and use differentiated instruction to challenge your students to think and solve different kinds of challenging math problems. All instructional strategies learned in this session have been tested in the classroom. Climb aboard and join us!
