6th Annual Singapore Math® Summer Institute, Gr. 3-5Date: August 19th & 20th Sign up by June 1st and receive FREE Manipulatives and a waved registration fee (Combined value of $255). Receive 12 Continuing Education Units. Designed for Gr. 3-5 Classroom & Special Ed Teachers, Math Specialists and Administrators. Our seminars and unique manipulatives are based on the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract pedagogy on which Singapore Math® is founded. These workshops offer practical teaching strategies for developing fluency of math facts, mental math and use of companion manipulatives that you’ll be able to use with your students immediately: Numerous games & activities for developing mastery of math facts Day 1: August 19, 2019 Morning Singapore Math & Lesson Planning This workshop begins with the Singapore instructional model, moves to lesson planning, and then to unit planning. Major content for grades 3-5 will be examined closely, with emphasis placed on the Common Core Standards in Mathematics. Teachers will leave with a fully planned unit for the beginning of school. Participants will learn how to prepare lessons and make effective use of instructional materials. Singapore Math Teacher Editions, textbooks, workbooks and other relevant materials will be used. Afternoon Intro to Bar Modeling This mathematically content-focused and rigorous workshop will provide an introduction to the Bar Modeling method for solving word problems in grades 2, 3, 4 and 5. Bar Modeling is also known as the Singapore Math model method. The Common Core State Standards in Mathematics (CCSS-M) and New York State Learning Standards (NYSLS) identify Bar Models as Tape Diagrams and Strip Diagrams. Topics covered include the methodology and rationale for using Bar Models to solve a variety of word problems in mathematics. Participants will be introduced to the part-whole and comparison models for solving problems involving the four operations with whole numbers and use bar modeling heuristic to solve one and two-step word problems. Teachers will learn practical strategies of helping their students use the bar modeling techniques effectively. Differentiating instruction to meet the diverse needs of all learners will be explored. This course is aligned with the CCSS-M and NYSLS in the domains of Operations and Algebraic Thinking in Grades 2-5.
Day 2: August 20, 2019 Morning Multiplication & Division: Concepts & Calculations Participants will learn strategies to build student understanding of multiplication and division and how to help students connect the model to the abstract. The use of place value mats and base ten blocks, as well as the area model will be emphasized to connect conceptual understanding to the algorithm. Afternoon How to Use Models to Represent & Solve Fractions Problems Participants will learn how to represent fractions with fractional models, the meaning of fractions, how fractions are composed of unit fractions, helping students to understand fractions as numbers, operations with fractions and mixed numbers, how to make the connections between operations with whole numbers and operations with fractions, and activities and games that deepen students understanding of fractions. Check in: 8:00 am to 8:30 am. All seminars are scheduled from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. Space is limited to 30 participants. Fee includes lunch & personalized certificate of participation.

6th Annual Singapore Math® Summer Institute, K-2Date: August 19th & 20th Sign up by June 1st and receive FREE Manipulatives and a waved registration fee (Value of $255). Approved for 12 CEUs. Designed for K-2 Classroom & Special Ed Teachers, Math Specialists and Administrators Our seminars and unique manipulatives are based on the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract pedagogy on which Singapore Math® is founded. These workshops offer practical teaching strategies for developing fluency of math facts, mental math and companion manipulatives that you’ll be able to use with your students immediately: Numerous games & activities for developing mastery of math facts Day 1: August 19, 2019 Morning Topic: Singapore Math Number Sense with Activities & Manipulatives This workshop will focus on how to use Singapore Math resources to develop strong Number Sense in K-2. Participants will learn about how to help young students understand numbers through discussing and exploring number story situations with manipulatives. Mathematical ideas are best understood when students see a need for their use. The story problem situations help students see relevant uses of math concepts to make sense of what they are learning. They expose students to the major concepts of mathematics as they arise naturally in story problem situations. Participants will explore a variety of such number story situations with use of Singapore Math resources, activities, and manipulatives. Afternoon Topic: Math Games, Activities, Fluency & Assessments Participants will learn engaging games and activities for helping different style and abilities learners practice math facts to mastery. Strategies will be shared for accommodating visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners via games and activities with the color-coded method for mastering math facts. Participants will use the color-coded flash cards to play in teams; search for and identify patterns; organize related groups of facts; collaborate during activities; engage in conversation about games; color facts learned and to be learned; demonstrate games in front of a class. Participants will identify strategies designed to increase learner engagement and purposeful collaboration that allow for rigorous and equitable mathematics instruction. Participants will also explore ways to differentiate instruction and scaffold lessons for struggling learners through implementing game centers that are focused on different areas of math fluency. Day 2: August 20, 2019 Morning Topic: Teaching for Problem Solving & Developing Deep Understanding with CPA Participants will learn how to:
Afternoon Topic: Place Value System, Mental Math and Multi-digit Addition & Subtraction Participants will learn how to:
