Sample Sessions


Grade Bands: 6 – 8

Go Deep To Address the Common Core; 3 Part Lessons in Algebraic Thinking

This session will share lessons that students have difficulty in understanding and teachers have difficulty in teaching. Participants will receive software and 3 part lessons to "get started", "work on it", "reflect and connect". Participants are welcome to bring laptops to the session to follow the lessons online.

Grade Bands: K – 5

Build It, Write It, Talk it, Now Own It - Go Deep to Address CCSS & RTI

We will demonstrate methods to "hook" students to deeper conceptual understanding by modeling specific lessons involving paper, manipulatives and computer. Participants will receive 3 part lessons to address CCSS as well as all three tiers of RTI and access to software. The lessons will be adapted to a wide variety of learning environments.
Lessons include:

  1. Developing an understanding of fractions
  2. Distinguish between area and linear measure
  3. Analyze patterns and relationships

Grade Bands: 3 – 8

Build, Write, Talk, Own!! Go Deep to Address CCSS & RTI

We will "hook" students and teachers to deeper conceptual understanding by modelling 3 part lessons for all grade levels in many learning environments involving fractions, area, patterning, algebra and more.  Participants will receive access to CCSS standardized tests as well as lessons to specifically address RTI and hence maintain the sanity of the teacher.
