Visual Models for Addition and Subtraction Word Problems in Grades K-5 Description: Participants will examine the different story problem situations as described in Table 1 of the Common Core Learning Standards. They will practice different ways to orchestrate classroom instruction, and merge students' intuitive drawings with tape diagrams and other visual models. This workshop is appropriate for Grades K-5. Date: Nov. 9, 2015 Time: 8 am registration and coffee, 8:30 am-3 pm program, lunch on your own Audience: Grades K-5 teachers, special education, AIS, and ELA teachers Building teams are strongly encouraged to attend Location: SWBOCES, 450 Mamaroneck Avenue, 3rd Floor, Harrison, NY 10528 Fee: $184 per participant for CoSer 555 members $220 per participant for CoSer 555 non-members Presenter: Margaret (Peggy) Golden Contact: Anna Marie Brancucci 914-345-8500, ext. 3125 abrancucci@swboces.org The Math Behind The Modules: Fractions, Concept Progression Grades 3-5 Description: The workshop participants will examine pictorial (area models and a number line) as well as the algorithmic representation of the concept of fractions as it evolves and progresses from grades 3-5. The “hands on” approach will offer an opportunity for teachers to explore the models and practice problems as they appear in the lessons of Grade 3 Module 5, Grade 4 Module 5, and Grade 5 Modules 3 and 4. Additionally, teachers will explore problem solving strategies using fraction models and equations in representing the problem, deepening the understanding in accordance with the CCLS. The workshop will include modeling of benchmark fractions and number sense as they pertain to students’ ability to estimate and reason mentally.
