RX 4 DISCOVERY MATH I WORKSHOP

There are currently no upcoming Workshops available for registration of this type. If you believe this is in error please Contact Us.

Description

Rx 4 Discovery Math I will build and strengthen number sense, math fluency, math vocabulary, and problem-solving strategies within three 30-minute or two 45-minute weekly small group sessions. Students who need to master basic number sense skills as well as those who rely on procedural understanding without a conceptual understanding would benefit the most from this program.

Students will be challenged to apply their growing understanding of number sense to novel problem-solving activities that challenge thinking and reasoning. Hands-on, research-based, number sense activities will be utilized as the core content in this dynamic intervention while mediation, Socratic questioning, and the strengthening of cognitive functions will serve as the core methodology. In this dynamic intervention, students’ foundational math concepts will be strengthened while their thinking and problem-solving skills will be challenged, all within an atmosphere where math anxiety is reduced and thinking is maximized.

Workshop Objectives:

General: Successful completion of this course will enable the participant to better understand student needs in math based on the four subtypes of math disabilities. They will also understand how to strengthen number sense, develop math fluency, and bolster problem solving skills, while also learning how to utilize the group
model for Rx 4 Discovery Math to teach students conceptual, procedural, and problem-solving math skills and strategies to strengthen students’ foundational grasp of numbers.


Specific: Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:

  1. Communicate an understanding of the differences between group and individualized interventions
  2. Demonstrate an ability to work with groups of 4-6 students in the teaching of basic mathematical skills focused on number sense
  3. Communicate the theories of mediated learning in a group setting
  4. Design a plan for group implementation that would meet the learning needs of specific a group of students
