Presenter - Rhonda Birnie REGISTRATION is open on the WMCSPD Registration page. Virtual Sessions Jan 27, Feb 24, March 10, 2022 (sessions are 4pm to 6pm)    Session 1 In session 1 we will explore the GLOSS math diagnostic and learn how to give the diagnostic to students. Participants will have all the materials to give the diagnostic to a student between sessions 1 and 2 and bring the information with them to session 2. Session 2 In session 2 we will analyze diagnostics given to students. We will determine what the diagnostic tells us about a student’s mathematical understanding and troubleshoot any issues that came up when giving the diagnostic to students . Session 3  In Session 3 we will plan intervention instruction using the information from the diagnostic assessment. We will analyze intervention materials and develop a 30-day plan for our targeted students.

  Presenter - Rhonda Birnie  REGISTRATION is open on the WMCSPDRegistration page. Virtual Sessions Jan 10, Feb 7, March 14, 2022  (sessions are 4pm to 6pm) Session 1 I n session 1 we will identify strategies and models that build strong conceptual understanding of addition and subtraction and we will explore the progression of these concepts through K-5. Session 2 I n session 2 we will focus on strategies and models in multiplication and division. We will explore how the conceptual understanding of addition and subtraction in K-2 supports multiplicative thinking in grades 3-5. Session 3   In session 3 we will look at the mathematical routine of comparing and connecting and discover how we can develop and implement this routine in our K-5 classrooms. We will see how, by using the models and strategies that have been explored in earlier sessions, the compare and connect routine can build a strong

When students do not have good number sense, the struggle begins. Spend the morning playing games that will build better number sense and understand how these skills build to ore complex skills in later years. Outcomes: Participants will understand key skills for subitizing, counting, and carnality. Learn and play games to improve students' number sense in these three skill areas. Fraction Sense pm will teach us basic skills that children need to learn to work fluently with fractions. Good fraction sense allows students to name fractions, compose and decompose fractions (operatio...
