    4-Day Intensive Math Camp Presented by Grade Levels

    Featuring: Kim Sutton, Barbara Ann Novelli & Paul Agranoff
    Fee for the  4 Day workshop is $329

    Creative Mathematics is proud to offer Math Camp 2010. Math Camp is one of the premier education events in the country! Thousands of teachers have attended past Math Camps and are thrilled  with the amazing depth and quality of the researchbased and grade specific material covered in the four day workshop! The key to Math Camp’s success is the top-rated presenters who make it a wonderful experience for those who attend!

    Barbara Ann Novelli does a remarkable job with Grades K-1. Kim Sutton will thrill teachers in Grades 2-3-4, and Paul Agranoff presents a fabulous workshop for Grades 5-6-7. We are especially excited about offering the 7th grade as part of the 5-6-7 section. Teachers will have to decide depending on their class’s ability level or their needs which class they should attend: Some 2nd grade teachers may feel they should be with the more primary group, and some of the 5th grade teachers may want to go with the 2-3-4 group. Sometimes people change grade levels during the week, which is fine if it better fits your needs, but there is a charge for extra materials.

    Each presenter has prepared an intense hands-on workshop that covers the NTCM Standards and focuses on specific needs and interests for the grade level they are teaching. Barbara, Kim, and Paul are experts whose intense four days are full of classroom tested, student friendly material that will strengthen your mathematical understanding and teaching!!

    Grades K-1 with Barbara Ann Novelli:

    Barbara Ann Novelli is a gifted educator, who has shared her enthusiasm and easily applied ideas with thousands of teachers. Their comment is usually “Wow, I can use these ideas the minute I get back to my classroom. My students will learn while loving learning.” These ideas come from working in the classroom for over 30 years. Barbara is a teachers’ teacher, having worked with classroom teachers as well as teachers who are earning their credential at the college level. Her expertise in the area of math and science has helped her in many distinguished positions: a writer and trainer for AIMS Education Foundations, University Professor teaching both the Math/Science Methods courses, Director of Curriculum and Staff Development and a finalist for the Presidential Award in Mathematics. Barbara has written many articles about teaching mathematics and science to young learners and her new books, An Amazing Array of Math Games and Over and Over: Repetition for Reinforcement of Mathematical Concepts and Skills are now available. You will experience some of these new games in Math Camp!

    Barbara will share a planning template that documents the important math you will teach in “student centered, developmentally appropriate units.” You will experience a morning of content and an afternoon of exciting units that will improve your K-1 teaching and understanding of mathematics. Barbara’s four days are a whirlwind of fun and learning!

    Grades 2-3-4 with Kim Sutton:

    Kim Sutton is a fabulous presenter, who has taught thousands of teachers the joy and excitement of “hands-on” math. Kim’s teaching experience includes over 25 years of classroom teaching and  time as a regional math specialist and university instructor. Kim has worked with over 200 districts nationally and internationally as a staff development consultant. Kim has written many articles about pattern blocks, classroom management and is the author of Algebra Express, Fractions: A Part of the Whole, Math Engineers, Math Focus Activities, Visual Tools, Number Line Workbook, Making Math Books With Children, The Powerful Numbers 0-100, Place Value With Pizzazz, Dynamic Dice, Do The Math, Math Drills to Thrill and The Power of Digital Root. Experience what others have learned—Kim Sutton is a dynamic, extraordinary educator whose enthusiasm and love for teaching are contagious! She gives you practical, easy to implement information and ideas that you will use for years.

    Kim will cover all strands of math in her special way with heavy emphasis on classroom management, literature books, and drill & practice. There will be new ideas created just for Math Camp!

    Grades 5-6-7 with Paul Agranoff:

    Paul Agranoff Paul Agranoff is a 25 year veteran of the middle level classroom where he has taught fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grades in elementary, intermediate, middle school, and junior high settings! Paul has chaired and been a member of the mathematics projects at the local, state, and national levels. As a workshop leader, Paul has been involved in presenting classroom best practices to thousands of teachers all across the United States and Canada.

    Paul’s seminar will be a great benefit to either a first year teacher or an old pro! Paul takes you on a journey that makes sense of teaching mathematics beyond arithmetic. You will explore number sense, data handling, proportionality, geometry, discrete mathematics and problem solving with hands-on activities that fit easily into your classroom. Paul is a talented educator who inspires teachers with his powerful message and strategies. Don’t miss this amazing opportunity!!
