Creating A New Vision For Teaching Math – 2 Day

Hands, Heads and Hearts

Kim has put together a powerful new two day class for K-5 teachers that focuses on hands (“hands-on” materials), head (critical thinking and math content), and heart (passion for teaching) to get teachers ready for the new school year.

You will love the active engagement and strategies for developing strong number sense, creating a classroom ready for patterns and functions, encouraging algebraic reasoning along with measurement and geometry.  Kim has created many new games, puzzles and activities for all grade levels.  Kim effortlessly shows you how to make this a part of your regular curriculum.

Kim’s classes are known for being content driven while also being amazingly fun!  This class is full of ideas that will strengthen your mathematical understanding and teaching. Come to this exciting two days to revive your own teaching spirit and prepare to rock this next school year.

Highlights Include:

• A powerful tool kit and manual that includes “hands on” tools and strategies for building strong number sense.

• Construction of meaningful math tools that will become a part of your classroom everyday!  Bring your scissors, colored markers, scotch tape, stapler and an individual hole punch! We have work to do!

• Leave knowing how to teach place value to students so that it sticks in our heads!  We will explore counting, composing, decomposing and subitizing as required skills for place value!
