M101-Mathematics in the Cards
A Program for K-8 Educators
Presenter: Jeff Horney - Madison, WI

Learn to enhance your math curriculum with hands-on large and small-group activities that use nothing more than a few decks of cards and cribbage boards. Turn everyday playing cards i­nto powerful manipulatives for everything from simple addition to complex statistics. We will learn how a variety of card games solidify essential math concepts while ensuring students are learning, engaged and having fun. Cards games are perfect for differentiation, allowing some students to calculate odds while others can count and combine.

This session will make connections to Everyday Math and Connected Mathematics (CMP2) lessons and units, offering ways to reinforce skills and concepts. Participants will have time to create lessons tailored to their grade levels and teaching styles.
