A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

Gone are the monotonous math worksheets, ineffective "drill and kill" strategies, and tedious tasks that used to effectively curb my students' enthusiasm for math while doing very little to reinforce the skills they really needed for success.

I am excited to share dozens of the very low- to no-prep best instructional games and activities I've successfully used with my own students – that you can easily differentiate for all skill levels – to ensure students' success in mathematics. When we utilize highly motivating games and activities, our students become enthusiastic about math, and they see it as fun. Learn how to boost your students' confidence while minimizing their math anxiety. The best part is your students will truly learn the arithmetic they need to succeed and will do so in ways that ensure those skills won't be forgotten!

In this NEW seminar, we'll explore dozens of math games and activities you can implement immediately. We'll utilize common materials you already have readily available in your classroom. These outstanding hands-on experiences will help you foster your students' love of mathematics and, just like me, you'll find your students asking when they can "play" again and again. Discover a wealth of activities that will bolster your students' confidence and significantly improve their math skills. Gain the tips and tools needed to confidently implement these activities in your existing lessons, regardless of the math curriculum you use.

Please join me for a lively, exciting day filled with instructional games and activities designed to develop the confidence and competence your students need. I can't wait to help you get your students actively engaged in learning – and loving – the mathematics success they will experience in your classroom.

Sincerely,
Sherri Adler

P.S. You'll leave this seminar feeling inspired, enthusiastic and ready to integrate a wealth of practical, engaging and innovative games and activities that will significantly boost your students' math skills.
