Dr. Edna Edwards |

Description: In addition to the many traditional concepts and skills associated with the Elementary Math Curriculum, todays Math standards include many topics that were formally reserved for the middle grades and high schools. With so many math concepts and skills, and so little time, how realistic is it for educators to believe that all their students can soar in Math? Participants in this session will experience Dr. Thomass strategic approach to the planning, teaching, and assessment of the Elementary math curriculum. Many of Dr. Thomass instructional strategies and student engagement activities, featured in this session, are published in the 2010 ASCD publication, Styles and Strategies for Teaching Mathematics.

Description-In order to learn math. Students must do math. Those are the words of NCTM meant to remind math teachers that great lessons on the overhead projector or chalkboard do not, in most cases, translate into understanding and proficiency of skills by students. In this session, Dr. Thomas will demonstrate several instructional strategies and powerful math activities that will increase students levels of interest and engagement by putting math into the hands of students. All the strategies and activities demonstrated in this session will address key secondary math topics, and have been tried, tested, and proven true in hundreds of math classrooms across the United States.
