Session 1

10:45 A.M. 12:00 P.M.

Getting Mental with Achieving Fluency in Math (K-2)


Come and learn some exciting ways to help your students gain their fluency in math
facts! You will also get some ideas on how to assess your students in their fluency
development.
Melissa Noble, Bronx Little School
Learning to See (K-5)
We live in a visual culture. How do we transfer these skills to learning mathematics?
We will use common materials to explore these perceptual skills.
Dr. Helene Silverman, New York City Mathematics Project
Revolutionize how we teach kids to memorize multiplication facts music!
(K-5)
Revolutionize how we teach kids to memorize multiplication facts with music! With
simple skip counting songs and movement activities, children have fun and are more
successful learning their multiplication facts
Josh Joffee, Ampark Neighborhood School
Extreme Equality: Closing the Achievement Gap in Math (K-8)
Turn struggling students into budding mathematicians. See how students can
explore and discover mathematical concepts independently in manageable steps,
while the teacher provides sufficient guidance, examples, feedback and scaffolding
for all students to meet their full potential. We will explore evidence-based methods
of teaching that foster resilience and curiosity in all students and that have helped
many teachers dramatically close the achievement gap in math.
John Mighton, JUMP Math
What gets in your way? Do the math and add up and subtract your
distractions to create
your best class ever! (K-12)
Identify your distractions and strengths to focus on your classroom Goals. This SelfEmpowerment workshop will change your life. Participants create and go home with
their personalized 3Panel Guide.
Steve Reinhart, Optimism Plus, LLC
Fostering Algebraic Thinking (Grades 5-8)
Algebra is generalized arithmetic. Specific aspects are thinking representationally,
discovering patterns and developing a relational view of equality. We will examine
ways to build a foundation for algebraic thinking through the use of fun, non-routine
puzzles and problems.
Ronald Schwarz, Mathattan LLC
How do we know what we think we know? (6-12)
How much evidence do we require in order to believe a statement? We can tap into
students' comfort with wikipedia and how user skepticism improves the reliability of
the information to foster an inquisitive learning atmosphere.
Kurt Mederer, Greens Farms Academy
Engaging Activities That Emphasize the FUN in FUNctions (9-12)
Participants will be provided with classroomready lessons that enable students to
discover fun ways to examine functional behavior and make sense of
transformations.

Session 2
12:15 P.M. 1:30 P.M.

Foundations of Bar Modeling (K-5)


A powerful visual approach to problem solving! Discover how students learn and use
the Singapore Math bar model in grades K-5. This strategy enables students to view
all problems from an algebraic perspective beginning in early elementary grade
levels.
Chris Coyne, Marshall Cavendish
Numbers Are Not Letters! The Impact Early Numeracy Has on
Students' Success Beyond (K-8)
A 3rd grade student once said, "When I was in first grade, I really struggled with
math. I thought numbers were letters. I now know that numbers are numbers." In
this session, we will uncover the significant implications this statement has for what
we need to do to prevent the achievement gap early on and what we can do to
accelerate learning for students who have fallen behind at middle and high school.
Marilyn Trow, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Think Like A Mathematician: Using Rich Tasks to Develop Mathematical
Habits of Mind (K-8)
Participants will explore how they can make the Standards for Mathematical Practice
come to life in their classrooms through the use of rich mathematical tasks that
foster the development of mathematical mindsets in students.
Kendra Edwards, Brooklyn South Borough Field Support Center
The Problem of Word Problems (Grades 3-5)
Young readers who are confused and distracted by everyday language, math words,
or combinations of both may know how to do the necessary math operations, yet
answer incorrectly because they do not clearly comprehend what the question is
asking them to do. We will focus on specific strategies to address specific challenges.
Ronald Schwarz, Mathattan LLC
21st Century Posters: Stimulating Student Discourse through Digital
Displays (3-8)
Exhibiting student work stimulates learning through discourse. Extend traditional
displays with digital tools where students share, explain and reflect on math
solutions using multiple modalities.
Sara Spillert, CueThink
Using Representations and Modeling to Develop Conceptual Understanding
in Math (6-8)
Lets make meaningful connections in between models and representations using
real world examples. Take back to your classroom ready-to-use activities that
empower your students.
Tom Beatini, Union City Public Schools
Math in the Real World (6-12)
How many times have your students asked you, "When am I going to use this in real
life?" In this workshop, we will introduce you to several resources that will help you
relate math and personal finance lessons to real issues facing your students.
Maria Michelsson & Alexis Andrews, Council for Economic Education

You need to see it to know it. Regents Review: Get the Math and Get the
Points (9-12)
Students benefit from mixed Regents problems practice to improve their knowledge,
confidence and performance on the new, more challenging Common Core Algebra I
(and Geo) exams.
We will discuss building compare/contrast skills, increasing graphing calculator
knowhow and increasing persistence. Come to this session to share teaching and
learning strategies to help students graduate high school.
