NEW Offering for Teachers Who Have Access to the Bead String APP
The NEW Virtual Bead String Model is inspiring new ways of thinking about math teaching and learning in K-4 classrooms. New York City teachers and coaches have been experimenting with this innovative model and have piloted it with their students. Educators have found that the virtual bead string, when used mindfully and skillfully, is a critical tool to help children develop the mathematical structures essential for fluency in number.
Antonia (Toni) Cameron, the creator of the NEW Virtual Bead String model, will be facilitating each virtual session LIVE. Each virtual session is designed as a practicum where educators will have the time they need to play, collaborate, and receive feedback on how they are modeling students’ mathematical thinking. Each session will be recorded and can be viewed asynchronously by educators who are unable to attend the live sessions.
After each session, it is possible to have additional coaching to support teacher learning. This coaching can be crafted to meet a school’s needs. Coaching sessions can be virtual or on-site and can be designed as one-on-one, grade-level, or cross-grade learning experiences.
- Dates: Wednesday 10/30 & Wednesday 12/4
- Time: Virtual 3:00 – 3:45 PM EST
- Attend LIVE or watch recording
Session 1:Exploring How to Use the Bead String to Develop Fluency with the Building Blocks (aka basic facts)
Session 2: Using the Bead String to Develop the Connection between Multiplication & Division
$275 (Shop DoE) or $300
PARTICIPANTS WILL EXPLORE:
- video examples to highlight specific teaching tools (essential talk moves and use of board space).
- how to deconstruct students’ mathematical thinking and represent their strategies to highlight important mathematical structures.
- newly created Virtual Bead String Lesson Sketches and specific learning trajectories that will help them craft lessons that target students’ developmental needs.
PARTICIPANTS WILL LEAVE WITH:
- the big ideas that underlie students’ thinking in multiplication and division.
- a deeper understanding of how to model students’ thinking using the Virtual Bead String App.
- access to NEW Virtual Bead String Lesson Sketches (now available on Shop DoE).
AUDIENCE:
Any educator who has access to the Virtual Bead String APP and wants to continue studying how to use the model to teach early number, addition, and subtraction. These sessions will be tailored to meet the needs of ALL participants. Whether you’re just starting to play with the Virtual Bead String or if you’re ready for more advanced explorations, please join us.
Note: This Math PD is exclusively offered to those educators who currently have access to the NEW Virtual Bead String APP. If you do not have access and you are interested in learning more about the NEW Virtual Bead String APP, email info@reimaginedteaching.com
