CPAM Leadership Seminar
Learning Trajectories: Developing Mathematical Concepts Across Grades K-12
Wednesday, April 9, 2008 / 1:30 PM – 4:45 PM
Canyon Rooms A & B, Hilton Salt Lake City Center
Spend the afternoon prior to the NCTM Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City with your CPAM colleagues and Gail Burrill, WI ’85, an internationally recognized leader in the mathematics community. The afternoon’s agenda is a thought-provoking session on Learning Trajectories: Developing Mathematical Concepts Across Grades K-12. This is the fourth in the series of CPAM Leadership Seminars. Each year participants are challenged to make a more effective impact in mathematics education. The focus this year is to investigate a mathematical concept as it grows and deepens across the grades. What does it look like when a mathematical concept grows and deepens across the grades? When kindergarten teachers through high school teachers understand how a mathematical concept is positioned from each others’ perspective, their insights and instruction will be deeper and richer. Seminar participants will work through a series of activities that follow a learning trajectory from kindergarten through high school, collaboratively analyzing the language, models used to develop the concept, the rules and theorems that govern its use and finally how the concept is connected and applied in other mathematical arenas. The seminar will culminate with participants looking at several problems solved by students from a wide range of grade levels and examining how the solutions interact with the learning trajectory from the earlier discussion. Participation is limited to the first 100 CPAM members who register. Registrations will be accepted in the order received and must be postmarked by March 26, 2008. Check-in begins at 1:00 PM with the program starting promptly at 1:30 PM. Refreshments will be provided.
