K-3 IMPACT

Who K-3 teachers

What The K-3 IMPACT (Improving Mathematics Practices And
ClassroomTeaching) Fellows Program. Goals of K-3 IMPACT
are to help teachers:

    1. Strengthen their ability to teach mathematics through
      inquiry and through the concrete experiences of children.
    2. Improve their content understanding in mathematics.

When Throughout the school year, culminating in a one-day spring
mini-conference, called "Digging Deeper."

K-3 IMPACT for Early Intervention

Who Intervention Specialist, Inclusion Team, or classroom teacher who works with students struggling in mathematics

What A special version of the popular K-3 IMPACT Program that provides content in number sense, mathematical processes and resources that are effective in increasing academic achievement for all students. 

Participants will:

  1. engage in an in-depth study of appropriate K-3 mathematics content on topic such as Numeracy and Mathematical Processes (IMPACT 1) or Geometry & Measurement (IMPACT 2)  *Note, IMPACT 2 is open only to prior IMPACT participants and is held the first four Saturdays listed below.
  2. learn about research-based teaching strategies and intervention strategies.
  3. develop a deeper understanding of assessment and how to use it to guide instruction.
  4. share successes and challenges in implementing the instruction with students.
  5. participate in an online mathematics inquiry course through iDiscovery. This online course provides 2 semester hours of graduate credit to participants through Miami University of Ohio. (Tuition is included as part of the IMPACT program cost.  NOTE:  Registration fee of $100 to Miami University is NOT included).
  6. attend all Saturday sessions. Participants may obtain 2 semester hours of graduate credit for these sessions at an additional cost.

When IMPACT 1 Number & Operations
OR
IMPACT 2 Geometry & Measurement
IMPACT 3 (To be offered January 2011)

Classes will be held on Saturdays (October 2, November 20, December 11, 2010 and January 8, February 5, 2011) at the Columbus Campus of Ashland University (tentative)

Early Number Concepts in preK-2 ClassroomsNew Star

Who preK-2 classroom teacher

What The Developmental Math Assessment (DMA) is a classroom-based mathematics assessment for educators to use with young children from preschool through grade two.  The DMA helps the classroom teacher make important instructional decisions in mathematics. Through guided procedures the DMA helps the teacher assess student progress in current standards in Pre-number Concepts, Number Concepts, Operations, and other Math Concepts.
The DMA helps the teacher determine if each child’s level of understanding is above, on, or below grade-level expectations.  Based on the information, the teacher plans individualized, appropriate instruction, and monitors annual yearly progress in essential math concepts for each student.

Attend this series to:

    • Learn what essential early numeracy concepts are essential for developing number sense and laying the foundation for learning future grade level mathematics
    • Learn strategies based on visual models and imagery to help all students learn these concepts
    • Learn to use the DMA and the Activity Book to supplement and strengthen current program for all students
    • Learn to use the DMA and the Activity Book for RTI  (Response to Intervention)
    • Ashland credit will be available at an additional cost

When Friday, October 8, Saturday October 9 and Saturday, November 13th at the Columbus Campus of Ashland University (tentative)

Math Camp-In for Grades 1-3New Star 3

Who Any teacher of mathematics for Grades 1-3

What If you are looking for a new adventure for your classroom or buiding, don’t miss Math Camp-In!

Math Camp In is an exciting way to bring mathematics to your classroom or building! Choose to use Math Camp In as an overnight experience, a mini-unit in the regular classroom, or a Family Math Night. Join us for an exciting adventure that you can take back and use with students. Attendees will leave with most of what you need to replicate Math CampIn for your classroom!

Math Camp In activities were written by educators in Ohio and are correlated to the OhioBig Sign Academic Content Standards for Mathematics.

As part of the Math Camp In, you will leave with a grade-level specific Camp-In-a-Box, our way of filling your backpack full of great mathematical ideas! Each Camp-In-a-Box comes with grade-level appropriate materials to get you started on your Math Camp In Adventure and includes materials sufficient to conduct Math Camp In with a classroom of 26 students.

Math Camp-In-a-Box includes:

    • Educator Trail Guide
    • Camp Journal for each student
    • Camp badges for each station
    • Station directions
    • Camp craft for each student

and much more! Leave with more than $150 in materials!
