45 CTLE Hours - 3 inservice credits Grades: K-6

Fee: $150

Math has changed from 'answer-getting' to 'problem-solving'. Using games, puzzles, picture books and hands-on activities to achieve the Next Generation Standards is the way to motivate and engage students.

In this course, participants will learn various ways of engaging students while teaching them elementary-level math concepts. The course consists of modules that introduce games and activities designed specifically for students in grades K-6 that match the NYS Next generation Standards.

Part of this class is about putting the theory to practice, so get ready to play! Your students will enjoy learning math in this manner, and these activities are designed to help them better retain information about basic math operations and problem solving.

Each week participants will be required to log on at least 3 times, participate in a discussion, and complete an assignment. The instructor will be available throughout the course through email or video chat-meet(google). Discussion questions will be posted each week. Each Module is about 2 weeks long with 6-8 hours of work depending on the assignments.
