HEMS-MS: Conceptual Understanding to Fluency: Building a Bridge with Amee Legarra
September 23, 2023 and October 21, 2023
Description:
Middle School Math is complex and important! Middle school standards range from exploring the foundations of ratio and algebraic thinking to fluently working with these concepts in three short years. What happens when you have students who have gaps in their math learning? How do you provide grade level math access to all students? How do we successfully connect conceptual understanding to fluency? With tips and strategies from Jennifer Bay Williams and John S. Giovani’s Figuring out Fluency in Mathematics and Teaching, K-8 , we will take a deep dive into teacher moves and activities that answer these questions and will help all students gain the knowledge and power to become confident mathematical thinkers.
Presenter:
Amee Legarra is in her 22nd year of teaching, all of them in the Flowing Wells School District. For 10 years she taught fourth and fifth grade and has taught sixth grade math for the past 12 years. She is entering her 5th year of being a Teacher Leader with the CRR at the U of A. Amee is passionate about leading a student-centered math classroom, making math accessible to all students and in her belief that all students can be successful in math. She is a Nationally Board-Certified Teacher and the Arizona 2018 PAEMST Awardee.
Location: This is a Hybrid Session so be sure to choose: In-Person or Remote Participation
This is a two-part series focused on Middle School Mathematics that earn participants professional development certificates for 9 hours. $50 stipends will only be provided to the first 25 teachers from Arizona schools who participate in both sessions due to the generosity of the Herbst Family. Please only register if you can attend both sessions.
If you are joining us virtually, there are minimum requirement to ensure your full participation:
You must use a laptop or desktop (NOT a phone or tablet) that will allow you to access the internet, join the Zoom meeting, and access workshop materials (e.g., Google slides, Jamboards). In Zoom, you must have access to your microphone, video camera, and chat box. If you need assistance with the required technology, we can provide a pre-session training.
BONUS: All Participants attending both sessions in person will also get a copy of Figuring out Fluency in Mathematics and Teaching, K-8 by Jennifer Bay Williams and John S Giovani.
