| Gizmos: Mathematical Practices and Gizmos (Grades 4-12) |
14389 (section 16456) |
How can I incorporate and inquiry based learning model into my math classroom? Gizmos is a math and science online resource available for grades 4-12. Gizmos use an inquiry-based approach to learning that has been validated by extensive research as a highly effective way to build conceptual understanding. When teachers effectively integrate Gizmos into instruction, they can take learning to new levels. |

| Guided Math in the K-5 Classroom |
14852(section number 16590) |
How can we strategically implement and utilize a guided math format to support small groups of students through targeted and differentiated instruction? Guided Math is a structure for teaching mathematics where the teacher supports each child’s instructional level within the context of a small group. This professional development session joins theory and practice by allowing teachers the space to explore how to create standards-based, differentiated, and engaging learning opportunities for small group instruction. Teachers will gain an understanding of how to organize and implement math stations into the daily math block by participating in hands-on activities, strategies and reflections. This session will be led by Lisa Burnham and Giselle Gilpin, Math Instructional Coaches in ACPS. |

| Implementing Do The Math: Introduction to Do The Math |
14851 (section number 16589) |
How can we strategically utilize the Do The Math modules as an intervention to support students who are struggling with math concepts? The focus of this session is to provide professional development in the use of an intervention resource that can be used as an intervention to supports student achievement in math in grades 1- 5. |

| Math Professional Development Series: Supporting All Students in Mathematics Fractions: Make Up with Breaking Up, Grades 3-6 |
14436 (section number 16467) |
What are the “big ideas” in fraction sense and computation? How do we build student understanding of “part” and “whole”? How can teachers facilitate productive struggle as students make sense of fractions? Teachers will engage in hands-on, problem based learning. We will explore fractions to develop conceptual understanding to then apply for use in instruction when helping students make sense of fractions and fraction computation. Participants will: -explore real-world situations, models, and situations surrounding fractions -analyze a variety of problem-solving strategies for fraction computation -evaluate student strategies and ways of facilitating fraction understanding. |

| Mathematics 2016 Standards of Learning: Road Map to the 2016 Math SOLs (grades k-8) |
14768 (section # 16469) |
How can I change my teaching to better align with the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning?
This course will include a series of math professional development sessions that will focus on strategies for implementation, teaching, and learning of the new 2016 SOLs. The grade level(s) and objectives will vary based on the topic. See the sections for more detailed description of the specific sessions. Additional sections will be added throughout the year. |

| Number Sense From Number Lines in the K-3 Classroom |
14853 (section number 16592) |
Do you have students who have gaps in their number sense? Are some of your students struggling with number relationships and how numbers work together? Do you have students that struggle with working with numbers mentally? Is there a group of students who can’t understand how numbers can be taken apart and put back together in different ways? Then, this is the PD for you! We will look at how a basic number line can be used everyday to build all of our student’s number sense. Most of the activities and ideas can be used across the spectrum from K-5 and are quickly implemented into a daily routine. |

How can I implement Think Through Math effectively in my classroom?
Educators will become familiar with effective models of implementation and will begin to plan their own launch strategy. Onsite training covers the essential concepts of the Think Through Math classroom and includes the following learning outcomes: Understand the student experience of Think through Math. Experience Think Through Math’s data-driven instructional model. Understand how Think Through Math’s resources help teachers plan, teach, assess, reflect, and prescribe. Prepare for the student launch and the first three weeks. |
