Overview This two-day workshop will focus on using the Singaporean approach to designing and differentiating lessons to meet the needs of our increasingly diverse classrooms, while creating an environment of extraordinary engagement and deeper, more meaningful learning. Many people don’t know that Singapore is a very diverse country. Their students have as many different needs and challenges as the students in the United States, or any other developed nation. What sets Singapore apart is that since the 1970’s, their students…

Do your students struggle with mathematical concepts, applications, and problems that require a deeper understanding? Would you like to be able to teach them the visualization skills they need to boost their achievement (and their test scores)? Join Bill for a day of incredible professional development solving problems using the bar model method. You’ll learn how to transform your students’ level of understanding from concrete, to the deeper and more abstract levels they need for higher levels of achievement. Your…

Do your students struggle with fraction concepts and reasoning? Do you find teaching fractions to be one of the greatest challenges of the school year? Your students aren’t alone and neither are you. No area of elementary mathematics  is as cognitively complicated, and difficult to teach as fractions, ratios and proportional reasoning. Join Dr. Yeap Ban Har for an amazing day of professional development and chart a new path to success and higher achievement for your students, and less frustration…

Overview: Number sense and place value are the foundations of Singapore’s approach to teaching mathematics – the approach that is responsible for Singapore’s rise to the top of the world in international tests of students’ achievement in mathematics.  Participants of this full-day workshop will learn the instructional strategies and theory needed to develop their students’ skills and understanding to levels they never thought possible. The first day will focus on topics relevant to K-2 teachers such as addition and subtraction,…

Overview Problem-solving plays a critical role in the education of all K-12 mathematics students. However, knowing how to incorporate problem-solving into a curriculum and daily instruction remains challenging for many teachers. Participants in this 1-day workshop will learn to make problem-solving and critical thinking part of their everyday teaching through the use of problem-based anchor tasks and meaningful discourse. They will learn to differentiate problems and tasks to meet the needs of their increasingly diverse classrooms. Mathematical content will be…
