Bridgewater State University is offering a NEW & EXCITING Profesional Development Program for Math Teachers!
Engage in Math consists of four 90 minute workshops offered at BSU Attleboro and on the main BSU campus in Bridgewater. The program registration fee is ONLY $100! Please share this information with the math teachers in your school district! This program was created by BSU's Center for the Advancement of STEM Education (CASE) to engage math teachers in grades 1-12 in non-standard mathematical problem solving. Please see the flyer below for more info. Workshop Series: Supporting Non-Standard Problem Solving in Mathematics in Grades 1-12 bridgewater state university Center for the advancement of STEM education (CASE) Facilitated by dr. Polina sabinin Workshop Series Description This professional development workshop series is designed to engage mathematics teachers in grades 1-12 (and their students) in non-standard mathematical problem solving. Non-standard problems require us to step away from rigid procedures, problem types, key terms, and other tricks. Instead, to make sense of these problems (let alone to solve them) we must open our minds, think creatively, take risks, use our problem-solving strategies, and make new connections about mathematics that we know. In this process, we deepen our understanding and discover new mathematics. Workshop participants will: •join a professional learning community •engage in problem solving •analyze mathematical teaching practices •learn about sources of excellent non-standard problems •be provided with a grade-specific packet of problems from Math Kangaroo Olympiad that they can use in their classes. Engage in Teaching Mathematics Mathematical Teaching Practices were published inPrinciples to Actions (2014). These workshops will model and provide time to explicitly analyze these practices: 1. Establish mathematics goals to focus learning. 2. Implement tasks that promote reasoning and problem solving. 3. Use and connect mathematical representations. 4. Facilitate meaningful mathematical discourse. 5. Pose purposeful questions. 6. Build procedural fluency from conceptual understanding. 7. Support productive struggle in learning mathematics. 8. Elicit and use evidence of student thinking. . Program Details The Engage in Math program consists of four workshops. All workshops will run from 4:30 pm until 6:00 pm. Separate programs will be offered at BSU’s main campus in Bridgewater and at BSU Attleboro. Workshop dates vary with location.
