    Abstract:

    Order of Operations: Sometimes, Always or Never? Many of us learned that the "Order of Operations" as a random rule someone made up, and we all have to follow it to get the same answer. As we dig into math, specifically using the mathematical shifts of the College and Career Readiness Standards, we look at things from a very different perspective.  We no longer need to accept the order of operations as the rule, simply "because", instead let's investigate it and find some meaning. In this session, we will use our mathematical properties (commutative properties, associative properties, distributive property, etc) to explore our basic operations. With a solid mathematical foundation we will then look at "PEMDAS" in the context of the mathematical shift of rigor.

    Abstract:

    Using the CCRS's multiple references to the number line, this numeracy session uses the number line as the focus of "Coherence" from the beginning, definition of number sets through Algebraic thinking.  We investigate the age-old question, "Why is a negative times a negative a positive?"  We explore basic operations (add, subtract, multiply and divide) and continue on to solve simple algebraic equations.

    Abstract:

    New technologies can help offer targeted study paths to personalize and accelerate math review. Hear about early experiences with EdReady.org, a new tool from the non-profit NROC Project--designed to support such efforts. Panelists will share lessons learned in adapting the platform to serve adult learners, in Kentucky and California, and to assist professional development efforts, in Colorado.   ATTACHMENTS: EdReady for Academic Readiness_COABE 2015

    Abstract:

    This workshop is designed to demonstrate how Northampton Community College's professional learning community and online learning community resulted in bigger and better student and program outcomes. The presenter will discuss how the structure of these communities engaged instructors to align resources and lessons to CCR standards, compared the intended objective of the lesson and the student work, and reviewed student and program outcomes to inform instruction.
