Math Workshops

Dr. Nicki Newton can support k-5 schools as they unpack and make sense of their state standards for teachers, administrators and parents.  Call us today:  (347) 688-4927

Workshop 1: Digging Deeper into Standards-based Instruction

*Presented in grade bands: k-1; 2-3; 4-5 or k-2; 3-5

This workshop introduces your state standards, discusses a variety of implementation strategies and looks at ongoing assessment. The introduction segment involves a close look at the depth of the content strands- focusing in on each indicator.  The implementation segment presents a variety of models for teaching the content knowledge. The assessment segment examines a variety of options for balanced assessment of these standards including diagnostic tests, ongoing quizzes, standards based interviews/conferences, performance tasks and summative assessments.

Workshop 2: Aligning  Math Standards

This workshop is specifically designed to assist schools in aligning the Math Standards with existing curricula and instruction.  This includes embedding the standards into your current curriculum maps and helping teachers to negotiate what they are currently doing with what is expected according to the standards.

Workshop 3:  Access for All: Guided Math 

This workshop looks at the ways that guided math can help provide access for all students in the implementation of  your state standards.  In this workshop, we explore how the continuum of learners including English Language Learners, Special Education Students, Students with Learning Dis/Abilities and Gifted and Talented Students all get equal access to the standards through small, guided group instruction.  We look at the framework for guided math and how implementation of this powerful teaching structure can help provide scaffolded, differentiated, engaging instruction for all students.

Workshop 4: Math Workshop in Action

In this Workshop , Dr. Nicki Newton will help you learn everything you need to know about effectively implementing Math Workshop. Based on her new book, Math Workshop in Action, you will learn:

• Planning for and implementing the first 20 days
• Creating a mathematically rich learning environment;
• Making engaging, standards-based activities for workstations
• Planning meaningful guided math lessons;
• Using assessments to guide your instructional decisions throughout the year

Workshop 5: Math Workstations in Action

*Presented in grade bands: k-1; 2-3; 4-5 or k-2; 3-5

This workshop looks at the ways that rigorous, student-centered, standard based math centers can help scaffold access to the your standards.  We specifically look at the how to create, align and implement math centers to the standards so that students can build conceptual understanding, procedural fluency and problem solving skills.  We look at a how flexible grouping allows students to work independently, with partners and in groups at different centers.  This engaging workshop shares a variety of classroom tested, research and standards based, engaging math centers that are sure to provide purposeful practice for elementary school students.
