As teachers of the elementary grades we all like to pride ourselves on our own “bag of tricks” that seem to work for us in the teaching and learning of mathematics. Yet we are constantly searching for new ideas, techniques and strategies to improve our practice – anything that will help us reach all learners and empower them to value and understand the mathematics that we teach. I hope you will join me on this “mathematical journey” as we explore new insights and procedures that we can all find useful in the work we do with children. Are you ready?… then let’s go!!!

Topics in this course include:

– Integrating elementary mathematics curriculum expectations into current teaching practice
– Talking and writing mathematics
– Building Math communities
– Integrating information technology into elementary mathematics
– Mathematics anxieties and attitudes
– Equity, gender and multicultural issues as they relate to the teaching of elementary mathematics
– Authentic assessment
– Creation of a portfolio of your learning
– An action plan for your own professional development with respect to the teaching of mathematics in the elementary classroom.
