Attend these Project M2 sessions presented by Shirley Fortenbaugh:
Saturday, March 14th | 9:45-11:00 a.m.
Advancing Algebraic Reasoning in the K-2 Classroom
All students are capable of engaging in algebraic thinking. What does that look like in the K-2 classroom? This workshop will explore hands-on, open-ended math tasks with a variety of manipulatives to help foster different levels of problem-solving skills in students. Teachers will be able to build their repertoire of strategies to increase algebraic thinking in the K-2 classroom. Educators will walk away with tasks, ready to implement in their primary classroom along with multiple strategies for students to utilize while problem-solving.
Saturday, March 14th | 11:15 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Project M2: Mentoring Young Mathematicians - Challenging Curriculum for K-2 Students
Using best practices in gifted education and best practices in math education, Project M2 units seek to challenge young mathematicians with engaging investigations. Participants will look at the philosophy and structure of the units and participate in games and activities designed to foster students’ love for math while thinking in-depth about complex concepts.
