Description

Wouldn't it be fabulous if all math learners were fluent in their basic facts AND they retained that learning?  Join your colleagues for a blended professional learning (Zoom and Google Classroom) that will focus on supporting all students as they work toward fluency in the basic facts for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.  This is an essential goal for all students and is the foundation on which all mathematical computation is based!   

This robust and highly interactive professional learning is based on work by mathematicians Jennifer Bay-Williams and Gina Kling in their book, Math Fact Fluency:  60+ Games and Assessment Tools to Support Learning and Retention.  We will explore five fundamentals designed for strategy use in math learning and retention through games and assessments that will lead students to not only learn basic facts, but to retain these important facts and use them flexibly in higher level mathematics.  

  • Participants are required to be on camera during this professional learning and, 
  • This professional learning is not suitable to access from a smartphone
  • Please make arrangements to be present, on camera during all class meeting times

 There is some work required in Google Classroom required before our first meeting on April 15, 2024 if participants want a total of 15 STEM clock hours .  Participants may choose to not do the additional work in Google Classroom. 

While the book is not required to purchase before participating in this workshop, you will find it to be an essential resource.

Event Notes

This professional learning is based on  the work of Jennifer Bay-Williams and Gina Kling in their book, Math Fact Fluency: 60+ Games and Assessment Tools to Support Learning and Retention.  Participants will find the book to be an essential resource, and although it is not required to purchase before participating in this course it is highly recommended.

Additionally, participants must be able to access Google classroom with either a school or personal gmail account.  Participants will need to manage multiple tabs during sessions, be familiar with Google Slides and Jamboard to get the most out of this professional learning.  This workshop is not suitable to access from a smartphone.

ZOOM LINK WILL BE EMAILED TO PARTICIPANTS A DAY PRIOR TO THE START OF THE EVENT.

Sessions are not recorded.
