Using the Connected Math Program in Your
Classroom (1) - Provides
an opportunity for teachers to use the Connected Mathematics Program
to create and organize materials and assessment tools. The goal of the course is to learn to implement the
curriculum effectively to meet the needs of all learners. |
| 14.713 |
Understanding and Teaching Everyday Math
(1) - Presents
an opportunity for a hands-on approach to teaching the Everyday Mathematics Curriculum using classroom experiences to
understand assessment, concepts, parent communication, and lesson
planning. |
| 14.733 |
Schoolyard Math and Science (4) - Emphasizes
natural resources that can be found around the schoolyard for the teaching
of science and math. The
first goal of this course is to apply the Massachusetts Curriculum
Frameworks to outdoor science and math, using an inquiry base, learner
dictated approach. The second
goal is to facilitate the creation of interdisciplinary lessons and
projects that have practical applications in the classroom.
The specific content standards from the Curriculum Frameworks for
Math, Science and Technology that are addressed: characteristics of
organisms, diversity and adaptation of organisms, organisms and
environments, nature and numbers, numbers and number systems, estimation
and computation, patterns and relationships, geometry and spatial sense,
measurement and statistics and probability. |
| 14.752 |
NCTM
Assessment Standards (1) - Examines
the NCTM Assessment Standards. A variety of methods will be used to help
teachers become comfortable with the implementation of assessment
techniques in their classrooms and to address all learning styles.
Authentic assessment will be thoroughly explored. |
| 14.761 |
Investigations:
An Elementary School Mathematics Curriculum (3) - A
consideration of the content and philosophy of the “Investigations”
mathematics curriculum. Participants
create and organize materials and assessment tools that are needed to
implement the curriculum effectively. |
| 15.714 |
An
Introduction to the Geometer’s Sketchpad (1) - Methods
for teaching how to use the Geometer’s Sketchpad in the classroom.
Teachers are provided with classroom-tested materials. |
| 15.723 |
Taking
Ownership of the Mathematics Curriculum Frameworks (2) - Focuses
on analyzing mathematical reasoning and development for elementary
teachers. Emphasis will be on
the importance of verbal and written communication, assessment techniques,
and the impact and integration of technology in mathematics instruction.
Participants will work in cooperative groups to develop a set of
sequential lessons highlighting what they have learned in these three
areas. They will also develop a unit designed to be used in their
classrooms. |
| 15.733 |
The
Interactive Reading and Mathematics Curriculum (3) - Demonstrates
how to involve children in everyday reading and mathematics activities.
Strategies for making literacy connections to reading and
mathematics are shared through children’s work, teacher designed
materials, interactive classroom centers, and techniques that involve
student feedback. Teachers
are required to develop their own curriculum materials. |

theory, patterns, statistics, algebra, geometry, probability, and problem
solving. |
| 15.788 |
Enhancing
Mathematical Learning (3) - Designed
to guide mathematical reform. The
course focuses on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM)
curriculum and standards. Topics
included are assessment, hands-on learning and teaching, concept based
approach to mathematics, open-ended questions, and problem solving. |
