    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:

    This presentation is designed to encourage instructors to utilize more cooperative group instruction in order to improve test scores, create meaningful connections between the instructor and student, and improve student engagement. Instructors will also gain knowledge of ways to make classrooms more student-centered and completion-focused while maintaining high expectations. Students in classrooms that are designed for success can expect to be accountable for their performance and achievement.   http://adultedresource.coabe.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/APina-Facilitationg-Group-Instruction.pptx

    Abstract:

    6 Step Lesson Plan Objectives: 1. WARM—UP-An activity that a) uses previously learned content to begin a new lesson. b) lasts 5-10 minutesc) uses materials students are familiar with from previous lessonsd) or any fun activity that gets them up and moving. 2) INTRODUCTION–How will I introduce this topic? What is my purpose in teaching this topic? Which College and Career Readiness/Common Core Standard does it align with? 3) PRESENTATION–How will I incorporate Webb’s DOK into this presentation? What realia will I use from student’s lives to present this topic? 4) PRACTICE–Teacher directed, withpeers, or individually. Break into learnings stations or small groups. How will I incorporate Webb’s DOK into the practice? 5) EVALUATION–Instructor provides an activity that assesses leaners. It can even be a verbal, written, or hands-on assessment. 6) APPLICATION–An activity that requires students to apply new knowledge to their own lives or situation. © Sara Z. Gutting, LLC

    Abstract:

    How can you prepare your students and program for computer literacy, critical thinking, and the high school equivalency (HSE) exams all at the same time? Do you feel you could get more value out of your investment in technology and computer-based curricula? Join two blended learning specialists from Essential Education for examples of how adult education programs have successfully used blended learning in their classrooms. We will use algebra lessons as a model to transform existing adult education classes into blended learning. Come to get your questions answered, share your successes, and make technology work for you.

    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.
