Description:
Did you know that geometry and measurement consistently rank as low-performing areas in math standardized assessments within the nonpublic schools of Palm Beach County? Get in Shape will help the math teacher develop strategies and activities that can be used throughout the school year to enhance and reinforce geometric principles. With real-world applications and higher-order activities designed for regular, intentional practice, students will improve their understanding of Geometry at their grade level. This session will benefit teachers of all age groups. To maximize the effectiveness of this session, participants should bring their Math TE and or curriculum/curriculum map. (If math is not your main topic, borrow one from your grade level and bring a TE from your topic as well.)
Learning Intentions:
- Explore the standards for Geometry for the appropriate level taught.
- Identify real-world applications for the appropriate level taught.
- Determine which strategies and activities will best meet the students’ needs.
- Create a plan to build the students’ understanding of grade-appropriate geometry
- Incorporate higher-order problems that foster critical thinking and concept application
Benefits:
- Eligible teachers may receive $25.00 an hour for attendance plus in-service points.
- Additional certification points including ESE points can be earned through a follow-up assignment.
- Ongoing support for implementation through ConnectedClass.com is available for site-licensed schools.
Who should attend?
- Any teacher looking to increase student application of geometric concepts
- Any teacher who wants to increase student test scores and confidence
- Any teacher who wants to increase student achievement and critical thinking about geometry
