"Exploring Algebraic Thinking in a Teachers' Circle"
Monday, July 17th at 2:00pm EST
Presented by:
Eric Appleton, Mark Trushkowsky, and Solange Farina
The New York City-based Community of Adult Math Instructors (CAMI) will share their process of starting a citywide math teachers' circle to collaborate with other teachers and expand their knowledge of mathematics. We believe in the power of teachers doing math together to make connections between learning and teaching. Participants will engage in an inquiry-based process of algebraic thinking through use of visual patterns and multiple strategies for problem solving, including drawing, different ways of seeing, making charts/tables, and making predictions using rules. Teachers and learners with all levels of mathematics knowledge are encouraged to attend.
Webinar space is limited to 500 and provided on first come, first serve basis.

"Rethinking Fractions"
Monday, July 24th at 2:00pm EST
Presented by:
Melissa Braaten
Do your students struggle with fractions? Do you find students asking to be shown the steps "just one more time?" In this workshop we will explore some of the gaps that adult students often have in their foundational number sense around fractions and look at some activities and strategies for helping students develop this number sense so that they can reason and make sense of fractions and fraction procedures.
Webinar space is limited to 500 and provided on first come, first serve basis.
