Building Computational Fluency: Multiplication and Division (Grades 3-5) TEED 346N
When teachers understand how children make sense of multiplication and division, they are better able to create strategies that support students in developing computational fluency. Using student work samples and video clips, participants will explore how children develop meaningful, efficient, and accurate computational strategies for multiplication and division. We'll examine mathematical ideas central to multiplication and division, thereby deepening participants' mathematical content knowledge. Additionally, we'll analyze the role of the traditional algorithm in a standards-based elementary mathematics classroom.
Julie Broderick teaches at The School at Columbia University. Previously she taught second, third, and fifth grades at the Manhattan School for Children. She regularly teaches math classes at the Bank Street Graduate School, and she leads math workshops in elementary schools throughout the NYC area.

Friday and Satruday, 9:30 am - 4 pm
1 CEU $395/ 1 credit $1060
Materials fee $30
Registration Deadline: 6/20
Early Numbers, Addition, and Subtraction (Grades K - 5) TEED650N
How do children develop computational strategies to help them add and subtract? This course explores how children make sense of these operations. Through video clips and student work samples, we'll examine effective, efficient, and accurate problem-solving strategies that children can use to master addition and subtraction. We'll discuss the role of the standard algorithm in a standards-based mathematics classroom and consider the teacher's role in helping children develop computational fluency. In addition, participants will examine mathematical ideas central to addition and subtraction, thereby deepening their own mathematical content knowledge.

Fractions, Decimals, and Percents: Looking at Models, Big Ideas, Strategies, and Contexts (Grades 2-6) TEED652N
This course will examine how children construct an understanding of fractions, decimals, and percents. We will look at various visual models that help students make sense of these topics. We'll examine big ideas and strategies central to fractions, decimals, and percents and look at ways to design a curriculum that elicits these models, big ideas, and strategies. Throughout the entire day's discussions and activities, we will develop realistic contexts that allow students to connect fractions, decimals, and
percents to the world outside of school.

Problem Solving in School Mathematics (Grades K - 8) TEWS676N
How can we teach our students to become competent and confident mathematical problem solvers? Through hands-on problem solving, reflection, and discussion, participants will engage in an exploration of the following :
- problem solving strategies and processes, and how can we effectively teach them to all students,
- helping students effectively communicate and represent their mathematical solutions and reasoning,
- the dispositions of successful problem solvers and how can we develop these dispositions in all students,
- creating a safe and respectful classroom environment that allows students to help each other do their best thinking and problem solving,
- engaging students in assessing their own growth and progress in mathematical problem solving.
Kathy Ernst is an advisor in the Leadership in Mathematics Education Program at Bank Street College. She has facilitated the implementation of standards-based mathematics curricula in schools throughout New York and New England, and has taught mathematical problem solving to students and teachers for almost 30 years.
