Learning Math: Number and Operations - Case Studies (Grades 3-5)
In the previous sessions, you explored number and operations as a mathematics learner, both to analyze your own approach to solving problems and to gain some insight into your personal conception of number and operations. It may have been difficult to separate your thinking as a mathematics learner from your thinking as a mathematics teacher -- most teachers think about teaching as they are learning and think about learning as they are teaching. In this session, we shift the focus to your own classroom and to the approaches your students might take to mathematical tasks involving number and operations concepts.
Learning Math: Numbers and Operations - Case Studies (Grades 6-8)
In this course, educators will examine how number and operations concepts from the previous nine sessions might look when applied to situations in the classroom, focusing on the approaches students might take to mathematical tasks involving number and operations concepts. This course is specific to Grades Six through Eight.
The Missing Link: Essential Concepts for Middle School Math Teachers - Proportionality and Similar Figures
In each pair of one-hour workshops, Master Teacher Jan Robinson and Workshop Guide Shannon C'de Baca lead a group of "learner teachers" as they investigate a series of hands-on problems. Short visits to schools in Illinois show how the lessons work in actual middle school classrooms. After taking the lessons back to their own classes, the learner teachers return to the studio a few months later to discuss their experiences and learn new instructional and assessment techniques.
The Missing Link: Essential Concepts for Middle School Math Teachers - Patterns and Functions
In this two-part course, Master Teacher Jan Robinson and Workshop Guide Shannon C'de Baca lead a group of "learner teachers" as they investigate a series of hands-on problems. In the "Discovery" portion of this course, educators use real-life problems and experiments to gather and display experimental data in graphs and tables. They then analyze the resulting patterns to make predictions and develop algebraic equations. In this follow-up video, "In Practice", educators discuss the experience of teaching the Patterns & Functions lessons in their classrooms.

Intensive Interventions for Students Struggling in Reading and Mathematics
Welcome to Intensive Interventions for Students Struggling in Reading and Mathematics. This course is a series of four modules based on the practice guide, Intensive Interventions for Students Struggling in Reading and Mathematics. It provides research-based guidance for intensifying instruction in reading and mathematics for students with significant learning difficulties, including students with disabilities, in kindergarten through grade twelve.
GeoGebra for Mathematics Teachers and Students - Using GeoGebra in the Middle Grades
Harding University's STEM Center for Math and Science Education "Using GeoGebra in the Middle Grades" is designed to show teachers how to download and use GeoGebra as a tool in teaching topics such as properties of geometric shapes, angles and transformations. Participants will also learn how to create figures in GeoGebra for use in other applications such as PowerPoint or Word documents.
GeoGebra for Mathematics Teachers and Students - Using GeoGebra in High School Geometry
Harding University's STEM Center for Math and Science Education (CMSE) designed "Using GeoGebra in High School Geometry" as a tool to teach topics such as properties of geometric shapes, angles, and transformations. This course also helps educators learn how to create figures in GeoGebra for use in other applications such as PowerPoint and Microsoft Word documents.
