Learning the Language of Math

This course equips teacher learners with the knowledge and tools necessary to ensure that all students are empowered to become proficient problem solvers and communicators of mathematics. This goal is pursued through a language-centered approach that highlights the essential role of communication in developing students’ capacities for comprehension, critical thinking, and clear exposition of mathematical ideas. Emphasis is placed on leveraging students’ community-based knowledge and honoring the multitude of preferred modes of learning and self-expression.

Understanding and Combating Student’s Math Anxiety

Math anxiety is a pervasive problem faced by STEM students and teachers, both nationally and globally.  Two studies conducted by Rose Vukovic, NYU Steinhardt Professor of Teaching and Learning, revealed that math anxiety adversely impacts math performance in schools as early as the primary grades.  In addition to undermining student performance, math anxiety discourages students from pursuing math-related careers and reduces teaching self-efficacy among STEM teachers.  Recent research in educational psychology has revealed important insights into the factors contributing to math anxiety as well as simple strategies that can help mitigate its effects.  This course presents the current state of research on math anxiety along with evidence-based psychological strategies that can be implemented immediately to reduce the negative impact of math anxiety on students.

This course provides 15 hours of continuing education credit.

Student Talk - Math Success (3-12)    

NCTMs Professional Standards for Teaching Mathematics address questioning and mathematical discourse to create student understanding.  The new process standards for mathematics in grades K-12 also stress the importance of student communication.  In this face-to-face workshops participants will learn the need for mathematical discourse and self-assess their classroom for effective student discourse.   Participants will learn about strategies for questioning, communication and classroom interactions that support the development of mathematical proficiency. The course provides 6 hours of continuing education credit.

 

The Peak in the Middle: An Online Book Study

This web-based format will consider The Peak in the Middle: Developing Mathematically Gifted Students in the Middle Grades (2010). This text is a collection of articles edited by Mark Saul, Susan Assouline, and Linda Jensen Sheffield that deals with approaches and successes in secondary gifted mathematics education.

The discussion about the articles will focus on this research and what this means to us as teachers in our secondary mathematics classroom. We will discuss practical ways to increase understanding and performance of our gifted students. Participants will be expected to post in the discussion forums and respond to a minimum of one other posting. Satisfactory participation in this book study will count as a 6-hour update.

Participants are responsible for obtaining a copy of the text: The Peak in the Middle: Developing Mathematically Gifted Students in the Middle Grades, edited by Mark Saul, Susan Assouline, Linda Jensen Scheffield. 2010. NCTM. Reston, VA. ISBN 978-0-87353-634-9
