Description

Students will:

  1. Develop an understanding of rational numbers through activities focused on:
    1. Problem Solving
    2. Fractions
    3. Decimals
    4. Percents
    5. Algebra
    6. Geometry
    7. Math Vocabulary
  2. Develop computational fluency
  3. Develop math vocabulary
  4. Develop problem-solving strategies
  5. Strengthen cognitive functions through targeted intervention activities and specific questioning and feedback
  6. Apply SRL strategies to solve mathematic problems
  7. Increase in confidence in solving mathematic problems
  8. Learn how to effectively work in small groups with others

Workshop Objectives:

General: Successful completion of this workshop will enable the educator to facilitate deeper mathematical thinking for students by understanding how to strengthen students’ conceptual understanding, computational fluency, and mathematical reasoning skills by developing self-regulation and cognitive functions through a safe mathematical community where productive disposition, self-efficacy, a sense of belonging and mathematical exploration is encouraged.

Specific: Upon completion of this course, the participant will:

  1. Acquire an understanding of rational numbers and mathematical fluency:
    1. What are rational numbers?
    2. Why is understanding them critical for mathematical fluency?
    3. What are the other components of mathematical fluency?
  2. Discover the cognitive processes necessary for mathematical thinking and gain skills to strengthen students’ cognitive functioning and mathematical confidence through targeted intervention activities and specific feedback
  3. Demonstrate an ability to work with groups of 4-6 students in the teaching of basic mathematical problem-solving skills focusing on rational numbers and computational fluency
  4. Apply the theory of mediated learning while teaching students SRL in mathematics with an emphasis on rational numbers and deepening students’ conceptual understanding of fractions, decimals, and percents
  5. Assess students’ level of self-regulation and determine teaching practices that support students’ SRL development
  6. Design a plan for group implementation that would meet the learning needs of a specific groups of students
