AN INTRODUCTION TO MATH EXPRESSIONS

INSTRUCTOR(S): Kathy Redman, Part-time Consultant for Houghton Mifflin, Retired Teacher
GRADE LEVEL: K-5

Would you like to get a head start on planning next year's math activities?  Are you trying to decide if Math Expressions is right for your district?  In this session we will explore Houghton Mifflin's great new math program, Math Expressions.  We will use objects, drawings, conceptual language, and real-work situations to help build mathematical ideas that make sense to kids.  Each day, we will break into grade level groups and explore specific activities using the actual materials.  You'll pick up some great hands-on activities that will enhance any math program.

In the K-5 large group, we will also look at each of the math strands.  This will enable you to see how your grade fits into the total picture by seeing what is taught in other grades.  This hands-on math workshop will give you the opportunity to network with other teachers at your grade level, and you will leave with lots of ideas and materials.
