    Download the flyer for this event

    What:
    Connecting Math Concepts (CMC) is a research-validated developmental math program designed to be utilized with students in grades 1st - 6th. Corrective Mathematics (CM) is a research-validated, specialized math program designed to be utilized as a remedial/intervention program for those students in grades 4th - 12th who have not mastered basic math skills.  The program has four basic strands: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Both CMC and CM utilize explicit instruction to teach necessary pre-skills as well as basic math skills and strategies.  In this in-service, you will learn the rationale for CMC and CM, how to teach the pre-skills and strategy lessons embedded in the program, how to provide adequate practice and how to give the initial placement test, as well as on-going mastery assessments.

Region II CSPD Presents: Mental Math & Model Drawing - Great Falls, Havre - February 28... - 0 views

  • For registration and more information click here! (PDF)What:Going Mental Over Math (a.m.)Participants will develop strategies for doing and teaching mental math, learn and apply mental math strategies, as well as plan for classroom implementation of mental math strategies.“Mental math provides both tools for solving problems and filters for evaluating answers. When a student has strong mental math skills, he or she can quickly test different approaches to a problem to determine whether the resulting path will lead toward a viable solution.”(NCTM President, 2005)Model Drawing (aka Bar Modeling) 101 (p.m.)Participants will learn how to adapt a Singapore approach to meet the needs of your American classroom, practice a strategy that appeals to diverse learners by encouraging students to reach the same answer in different ways,  learn how to develop the critical sense of number and number relationships , and learn how to help your students (and quite possibly you) conquer their fear of word problems.When and Where:February 28, 2012, Great Falls, MTHampton Inn February 29, 2012, Havre, MTFifth Avenue Christian ChurchContact:Region II CSPDPhone: (406) 265-4356 ext. 322

Parts and "Holes": Gaps in Children's Mathematics Achievement - Billings - June 12-14, ... - 0 views

  • What: Do you need to know more about how to promote successful outcomes for your students in the area of math skills? Come to the MASP Summer Institute to discover how to apply recent research findings in your classroom. Learn the essentials of math preparation that we now know underlie proficiency in mathematics, including the importance of effective instruction. Find out the implications for identifying mathematics disabilities and for planning intervention. This is an important conference because there is a great deal of new evidence about how to foster the acquisition of good math skills, information that is not widely known yet. This will be one of the first opportunities that most people in our audience will have to learn about current knowledge on how children learn mathematics and how that learning can go wrong. Presenter One of the world's leading authorities on how children develop understanding of mathematics, Michèle M.M. Mazzocco is a professor at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. She is the principal investigator for the Math Skills Development Project at the Kennedy Krieger School. With Daniel B. Berch, she is the co-editor of Why Is Math So Hard for Some Children?: The Nature and Origins of Mathematical Learning Difficulties and Disabilities, a respected book that provides, in the words of one fan, "an exceptional review of literature on LD in maths." Dr. Mazzocco initiated the Math Skills Development Project in 1997, through which she has followed a group of students from kindergarten through 9th grade (so far!). This project involves an extensive study of normally developing children, children who have learning disability not associated with a genetic condition, and children who have genetic conditions that are known to contribute to math disability. The focus of the research is to seek an understanding of how cognitive, behavioral, and genetic factors contribute toward successful mathematics achievement. Dates and Times: June 12, 13, and 14, 2011 Registration opens at 5 o'clock on Sunday evening, June 12, 2011. The conference begins at 6:30 on Sunday evening and concludes for the evening at 9:30. On the following days, June 13 and 14, the conference continues from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm. The doors open at 8 o'clock each morning. Location: Hilton Garden Inn, Billings Treasure State Salon A & B 2465 Grant Road, Billings, Montana, USA 59102 (near Costco and Best Buy) Tel: 406-655-8800 Fax: 406-655-8802

    Download the flyer for this event

    What:
    This academy is intended to give the paraeducator knowledge and skills specific to the use of instructional strategies and methods in the area of math. The academy bases teaching upon the belief that paraeducators must be constantly involved in the dynamic process of analyzing the teaching environment and individual student needs for the particular level of support; degree of adaptation/accommodation or modification and which instructional methods would best facilitate learning. The academy is designed to provide these skills for use by paraeducators supporting students in inclusive classrooms, resource rooms or in self-contained classrooms.

Early Math Matters: Preparing Preschoolers to Succeed - 0 views

  • For preschoolers in the United States, the pressure is on to learn math early and learn it well. The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) has put pressure on schools to make sure that all students are meeting state standards for achievement, and this has resulted in more rigorous math curricula and testing, starting in early elementary school. With increased public attention on the value of high-quality early childhood education, the pressure to perform has trickled down to our youngest students, and preschools are taking a closer look at their math programs and making adjustments that will prepare “little learners” for the challenges of elementary school.  And parents are always searching for better ways to boost their youngsters’ mastery of early math.

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.
