PRESENTATIONS:
Theresa will be presenting a burst session geared towards the 3-5 grade band entitled “Visual Vocabulary – Are They Getting the Picture?” – time and location will be forthcoming
“Your students seem to understand math concepts during hands-on activities, but don’t test well. Is vocabulary the problem? Math terms with multiple meanings could be muddying the waters. Learn how using powerful visuals, mnemonics and easy strategies to intentionally focus on vocabulary during math instruction can make a huge difference!”
Kathy, a previous President of Kindergarden Teachers of Texas will be presenting a PreK-2 session entitled “When in Doubt, Add!” – time and location to be forthcoming
“Students CAN go beyond finding the numbers and adding in every problem-solving situation. Developing meaning for addition and subtraction situations will be shown using graphic organizers, story mats, number lines and songs.”
