A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

Fulfilling the expectation of differentiating our math instruction to provide exactly what each student needs is daunting. Thankfully, there are instructional strategies and resources for assisting all our students in becoming engaged, curious, flexible, risk-taking, and confident mathematicians.

But where do we begin? How do we know what each student needs? There are three basic pillars of math instruction: math fact fluency (the how), concepts (the why), and word problem application (the when). In order for us to truly create well-rounded mathematicians, we must dedicate instructional time to all three facets and provide differentiated learning experiences that allow students to explore how they are all connected. I have developed this seminar to share with you the best, research-based resources that help us pinpoint exactly where students need to begin working in all three areas and have the added benefit that they can be implemented tomorrow in your classrooms.

All of the resources and assessments I will share with you have been successfully implemented to help differentiate math instruction in the schools where I teach. They are practical applications of what research tells us is the best way students learn mathematics. I look forward to spending the day with you and sharing a wealth of ideas that will transform your classrooms! Together we can work to create classroom climates that promote positive attitudes towards math and the development of excited and confident lifelong mathematicians!

Sincerely,
Ann Elise Record

P.S. You will leave this seminar inspired, enthusiastic and prepared to implement many of the assessments, differentiated activities and routines that are the most powerful to develop our students’ math skills. Additionally, you will have a toolkit full of practical, ready-to-use engaging activities and resources full of innovative ideas that can be applied in your classrooms immediately.
