Content and Activities

Topics covered include the rationale for teaching with an asynchronous model and emerging technologies to overcome “Zoom fatigue.” Participants will learn how to present lessons from Singapore texts, using examples from Dimensions Mathematics, Math in Focus, and Primary Math in a virtual environment. Teachers will explore online tools for developing students’ skills and showing their thinking in a virtual journal, as well as using virtual manipulatives. Educators will learn practical strategies for assessment, unit planning, and providing support and enrichment.
