    What:
    Through MRESA3, the Montana Council of Teachers of Mathematics is pleased to offer a two-day workshop designed to help teacher implement the new Standards for mathematical Practice. The Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise that mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students. These workshops will focus on the eight mathematical practice standards for all grade levels. Students are expected to: Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them, Reason abstractly and quantitatively, Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others, Model with mathematics, Use appropriate tools strategically, Attend to precision, Look for and make use of structure, Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Teachers that attend the workshop will leave the workshop with an understanding of all eight prac-tices and what these practices look like in the mathematics classroom. College credit is pending.

    When:

    Register for this event

    What:
    What are Singapore Math strategies and how do they fit into common core expectations and current and/or new materials?  The day will be spent exploring activities and games that model the Singapore Math philosophy.  Time will be spent focusing on the four operations beginning with "ten-ness' in Kindergarten and moving up to division in intermediate grades.  Strategies will be presented that are grounded in place value and scaffolded to allow students multiple entry points into addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.  Participants will gain a firm foundation about the concrete-pictorial-abstract approach to teaching.

    When:
    October 31 and November 1, 2013

    Where:
    Wingate Hotel
    5252 Airway Blvd.

    What:
    Technology and digital citizenship are becoming even more important as state's begin implementing the CCSS. This interactive, hands-on workshop will share resources and demonstrate through model lessons, how to efficiently use resources and technology to support CCSS. Attendees will participate in lessons demonstrating the teaching of digital citizenship, English Language Arts, and Math, all aligned to CCSS and integrating technology throughout. The purpose and the goals of the CCSS will also be re-viewed. Jeff Crews and Dean Phillips of Beyond the Chalk. Beyond the Chalk was co-founded by Jeff and Dean who believe in the power of education and the need to continuously provide transformational learning experiences for our teachers and students. Technology, when used effectively as a tool by teachers and students, can facilitate the change from the traditional form of education to a 21st century paradigm. Beyond the Chalk is committed to providing a set of rich and diverse professional development experiences for all educators. These experiences focus on the integration of technology across grade levels, con-tent domains, and skills levels. College credit pending. Lunch on own. Must bring computer or tablet device.

    Register for this event

    What:
    The Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Content are designed to be focused and coherent in order to improve mathematics achievement. These content standards are articulated over time as a sequence of topics and performances that are logical and move students to deeper understanding of mathematics. The standards stress conceptual understanding of key mathematical ideas and incorporate research-based learning progressions about how students mathematical knowledge, skill, and understanding develop over time. These workshops are presented as a series of four sessions. Each session will build on the previous sessions. Participants must attend all four sessions.

    When:
    Grades K-5 Series: October 1, 2013; November 12, 2013; January 21, 2014; & February 25, 2014

Guest column: What the Common Core math standards mean for Montana students - Bozeman D... - 0 views

  • Gone are the days of teaching students to simply memorize math facts. Brain research has shown that it’s important that students first develop “number sense,” because after gaining a firm grasp of math concepts (like multiplication), young minds are better prepared to put math facts into long term storage. Also gone are the days when teaching meant showing students a single procedure for solving a math problem.
