This two-credit course is designed
to support teachers in the acceleration and planning
for mathematics instruction
and to provide a rigorous mathematics program for highly
able students. Participation is open to elementary
teachers, math support teachers and staff developers.
Priority will be given to teams of teachers from the
same school.
NOTE: In the past, the course has
focused primarily on the needs of students in grades
3-5; however,
enrollment
is open to all elementary grade levels, and the content
of the course will reflect the needs of primary grade
students as needed.
The course builds the participants’ mathematics
background in both math content and instructional strategies
in the following areas:
- Concepts of effective math instruction
through current education research
- Differentiation strategies
such as anchor activities, center, stations, tiered
instruction, multiple intelligences,
and the use of technology
- Statistics and data analysis
- Probability
- Common fractions and
decimal fractions
- Ratio, proportion, and percent
