Proving and Solving Base Ten Operations with Models presenter Jan Truchot Jan Truchot retired after teaching for 32 years in Wyoming where she gained a unique insight into the connections between topics taught at different grade levels and became an expert at differentiated instruction. She was recognized as Wyoming’s State Teacher of the Year (1988) and also received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics Teaching (1994). After retirement, Truchot moved to Laramie, WY, and became program coordinator for the University of Wyoming Science Posse, an NSF GK-12 grant funded outreach program. It’s More than Just Pizzas! Fraction Bait© presenter Megan S. Candelaria Megan S. Candelaria, received a BS in mathematics and physics, a Masters in mathematics, and is currently pursuing a PhD in Mathematics Education at the University of Wyoming. Candelaria also works as an undergraduate lecturer for the UW’s Mathematics Department where she teaches a variety of mathematics courses. She is a member of the UW’s Science Posse – an NSF GK-12 grant-funded program. With her enthusiasm, she attempts to pull students away from their “I-hate-math” attitudes. Keep Calm and Just Lead! Enhancing School Improvement through Instructional Coaching presenters Dr. Denise Knight, Dr. Jan Miller and Debby Head Denise Knight, Ed.D. is currently the Director of bby Publications at The University of West Alabama. She also teaches online courses and supervises instructional leadership interns. As a career educator for over 30 years, she has taught numerous grade levels, Talented and Gifted programs, served as a District-wide Director of Federal Programs and Elementary Curriculum, served as an Elementary Principal, and as the Director of Assessment and Evaluation for the College of Education at UWA. Jan Miller, Ed.D. is currently serving as the Dean of the Division of Online Programs at The University of West Alabama. She also teaches online courses and supervises instructional leadership interns. Previously, Dr. Miller served as a Department Chair for the College of Education. She has 22 years of public school experience. During that time, she taught numerous grade levels, served as a lead teacher, and supervised two schools as principal. DEBBY HEAD is a 25-year veteran in educational consulting. Head began her career in education as an elementary teacher in Shelby County, KY, where she taught for 20 years. Twelve of those years included team-teaching with her eventual business partner, Libby Pollett.

She has presented at numerous conferences at the local, state, regional and national levels. find us on facebook/twitter: bbypublications www.bbypublications.com MATH TOPICS TARGET AREA SESSION DESCRIPTION 1, 2, 3…How Fluent Can You Be? Developing Number Sense Using Visual Models This session is designed to provide teachers with strategies for helping young children develop number fluency and concepts for number operations in a play-based learning environment. Through hands-on experience, teachers will Pre-K practice strategies for effectively integrating grid use into daily meeting activities. Teachers will also learn strategies for through developing number sense in addition and subtraction concepts through: Kindergarten • creating word problems • using visual models when problem solving • practicing strategies for illustrating, solving, and proving word problems • using effective methods of communicating/proving solutions Grades 1 through 2 Grades 3 through 4 Can You Solve It? Using Visual Models for Fluency and Problem Solving This session is focused on training teachers how to: • help students become fluent with addition and subtraction problems • help students understand the relationship between addition and subtraction as they use models to gain fluency • help students use models to become better problem solvers as they interpret word problems It’s All About that Bait! Multiplication & Division Fact Bait© This session is a full day of multiplication/division explorations as a foundational strategy for developing fact fluency. Using the calendar as a daily motivator, participants explore a ten-minute routine used for exploring multiple models for both multiplication and division. When a fact is coupled with models, explorations of inverse operations, properties and much more, it is easily seen and understood. Before long, mastery is within reach! My Place or Yours? What’s My Place? What’s My Value?© Grades 5 through 6 This session helps teachers implement an interactive classroom display that uses visual models and numbers to help children develop concepts related to place value. This 10-minute, large group routine provides repeated opportunities for children to develop an understanding of the magnitude, flexibility and beauty of the base ten system. Participants will actively experience: • personal mathematical growth in numbers/number operations, and algebraic thinking/reasoning • development of number sense and understanding of the base-ten system • using visual models when computing and problem solving • changing the unit and focusing on place value • effective methods of communicating/proving solutions • the power of changing the unit and focusing upon value • creating connections among strands of mathematical content • strategies for illustrating, solving and proving word problems AND Operation Station! Proving and Solving Base Ten Operations with Models During this session, participants will work towards: • developing the meaning of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division using multiple models for whole number operations and their applications • expanding conceptual understanding of whole number operations to encompass decimals • understanding multi-digit computation using standard and alternative/invented algorithms, mental mathematics, and computational estimation It’s More than Just Pizzas! Fraction Bait© Grades 7 through 8 This session will provide teachers with strategies for challenging students to: • develop fraction intuitions and estimation skills • think conceptually about fractions • add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions • model fractions using area and linear models • rename fractions as equivalents • compare fractions • decompose fractions • apply algebraic and pattern-based thinking to fractions • extend visual thinking tools for conceptualizing fractions into operations Keep Calm and Just Lead! Enhancing School Improvement through Instructional Coaching The focus of this session is to enhance coaching skills of instructional leaders and instructional coaches through effective instructional practices. Participants will examine best practices for developing collaborative learning environments that enhance student achievement. Proven practices which get teachers on board through quality teacher observations, Instructional model lessons, and reflective conversations will be studied. This interactive professional development session will prepare Leaders participants to develop an action plan for proposed implementation.
