Teachers may choose any or all of 6 math bund les.  There is no time limit on the use of the material once you receive access. The \"Make Math Engaging Course Bundle\" comes with access to th e following courses:   1. Teaching Math with Children's Literature: C ombine Math + Picture Books to Engage Every Child As humans\, we are wired to love good stories. They draw us in and ke ep our attention. Our kids are no different! With the wide range of avai lable picture books\, we should be intentional about including them in mat h class. If you’re not sure how to weave picture books into your math l essons\, you will be amazed at the variety of ways they can be used. In this course\, you will learn:   Why incorpor ating good books is so beneficial for students Different categories of picture books and when to use each category How to use books to teach and explore math vocabulary How to strengthen math comprehension by m aking connections\, making predictions\, asking questions and synthes izing information 2. Making Math Visual: Why It's Important + How to Incorporate Visual Learning Into Your Classroom Current brain research has revealed that our brains require visuals to learn and comprehend math for the long term. But what does that mean for our teaching and how can we be intentional about using and incorporating more visuals into our lessons?   While making math visual might be so mething you already try to do\, you will be encouraged as you learn how ou r brains work\, as well as new strategies for helping kids to visualize t he math they’re learning. In this course\, you wi ll learn:   Why visual math is essential based on current brain r esearch How to use simple tools to strengthen different parts of the br ain How to make math visual with patterns and graphic organizers Ha nds-on tools to visually explore all kinds of math concepts 3. Maki ng Sense of Word Problems: Strategies to Build Confidence When it comes to word problems\, all too often kids rely on k ey words or simply pluck all the numbers out and add them together. If yo u want to strengthen your kids’ number sense and help them to make sense of word problems\, this course will help. In addition\, you will learn h ow to open up problems to create higher order thinking challenges. Not on ly will this course give you practical strategies to help kids make sense of word problems\, you will also deepen your own understanding as you exp lore the different structures of types of word problems.   By better understanding problem structure yourself\, you will be better equipped to help your students. In this course\, you will learn:   The probl em with only relying on key words to solve a word problem Different pro blem types and structures for addition\, subtraction\, multiplication and division Meaningful strategies you can use to help kids actually unde rstand the situation of the problem Ways to open up word problems to c reate higher order thinking challenges and open ended problems What 3-A CT tasks are and how to incorporate these tasks into your lessons 4. Problem Solved: How to Teach Math Through Inquiry + Problem Solving How often are your kids actually doing the hard wo rk of wrestling with a concept and applying what they know to solve meanin gful problems? Research has shown that kids learn math best by doing. Th is course will help you to learn how to structure your lessons so that kid s can learn and discover math concepts in the context of meaningful probl ems. If the thought of coming up with inquiry-based lessons is overwhelmi ng\, fear not. In this course I will walk you through how easy and low-pre p it can be! In this course\, you will learn:   Why teaching mat h through problem solving is beneficial to students The difference betw een teaching for problem solving\, about problem solving and through  problem solving What this actually looks like and how to plan out les sons How to choose meaningful and appropriate problems or tasks for you r kids Dozens of specific examples that you can use or adapt to meet th e needs of your students (K-2\, 3-5\, and 6-8 examples are included) 5. Meaningful Number Talks: Deepen Understanding + Make Sense of Mathemati cal Ideas Whether or not you are currently fa miliar with number talks\, you will be excited to learn how they can trans form students’ understanding. Rather than you telling kids how to solve a problem\, they will be telling you their unique strategies and discussi ng ideas together. And the earlier kids begin with number talks\, the mor e familiar they’ll be as they progress through school\, which is why I i nclude a video especially for K-2 teachers. Learn not only the \"why\" of number talks\, but also the \"how\" in this easy-to-digest course. You ’ll be amazed at how your students’ understanding of math operations i ncreases over time. In this course\, you will learn:   What numb er talks are and why they matter How to get started with number talks Basic addition and subtraction strategies Basic multiplication and di vision strategies Specific ways number talks can be used in the early grades (they look a bit different in grades K-2) 6. Thinking Deeply: How to Incorporate Meaningful Writing into Math Class This course builds on the work students do in number talks as the y learn how to put their thoughts\, questions and more into writing. Rese arch shows that writing out notes improves learning and conceptual underst anding. So if our goal is for students to understand math deeply\, and to retain what they learn and communicate their ideas effectively with other s\, we must include some form of written responses. Whether writing is a normal part of your math routine or you have no idea where to start\, yo u will find tons of easy to implement and meaningful ideas. In this course\, you will learn:   Why writing in math cl ass should be an essential part of instruction How to cultivate a class room culture where writing about your thinking is the norm How to encou rage kids to write to explain and justify their thinking and explore bi g ideas How to encourage kids to reflect on their learning Fun and e ngaging ways to incorporate creative writing into math class Each o f the courses above includes printable planning pages\, lessons and games to help teachers implement what they learn from each course.  To get a mo re in depth look at what's included visit this site: https://mathgeekmama .lpages.co/make-math-engaging-course-bundle-2/ LOCATION:Online DTSTART:20230123T050000Z DTEND:20270630T040000Z DTSTAMP:20230124T061523Z ORGANIZER;CN=HGRESA Registration:MAILTO:eventbooking@hgresa.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
