Empowering Pre-Service & New Math Teachers to Use the Common Core Practice St...DreamBox Learning
How prepared are the K-12 teachers of tomorrow to inspire the next generation of young mathematicians? In this webinar for the edWeb.net Adaptive Math Learning community, attendees learned how essential it is for pre-service teachers to learn, develop, and model the Standards for Mathematical Practice to improve learning for their future students. Ben Braun, Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Kentucky, and Tim Hudson, Senior Director of Curriculum Design at DreamBox Learning, discussed ways to ensure that pre-service teachers start their careers understanding how mathematical proficiency requires more than simply content knowledge. Tim and Ben shared ideas for K-12 school leaders and mentor teachers who are responsible for new teacher induction, as well as, implications for college and university faculty teaching both math methods and content courses. They also discussed potential disconnects between pre-service content and methods courses and also eventual in-service expectations, while providing examples of math problems to engage pre-service and new teachers. View the webinar to better understand how to use the Standards for Mathematical Practice.
Your Math Students: Engaging and Understanding Every DayDreamBox Learning
The most important and challenging aspect of daily planning is to regularly—and yes, that means every day—create, adapt, locate, and consider mathematical tasks that are appropriate to the developmental learning needs of each student. A concern Francis (Skip) Fennell often shares with teachers is that many of us can find or create a lot of “fun” tasks that are, for the most part, worthless in regards to learning mathematics. Mathematical
tasks should provide a level of demand on the part of the student that ensures a focus on understanding and involves them in actually doing mathematics.
Expand Your Toolkit: Teacher Strategies for Deeper Math LearningDreamBox Learning
The road to conceptual understanding in mathematics is difficult. Through this journey, our students are required to demonstrate this understanding at every step. With the integration of technology in the classroom, blended learning can support student growth and understanding in math.
Of course, preparing students to model math concepts is problematic if teachers are struggling with the concepts themselves. Blended classrooms can provide support for both the learner and teacher. Want to learn how?
In this webinar, Courtney Foreman showed you how to expand your teaching toolkit by exploring new strategies and techniques for introducing traditionally difficult mathematics concepts to your students. Explore tools to promote the following in your blended classroom:
How to implement tasks that promote reasoning and problem-solving
How to use and connect mathematical representations
How to build procedural fluency from conceptual understanding

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Shared resources and collaborated often through email
and Google Hangout
16. Obstacles
Sage on the stage vs. guide on the side
Not giving answers
Different approach to math class
Culture of students that think math is done fast and that math is algebra
It takes time to get buy-in from everyone
Many faculty did not learn nor were trained in teaching math this way
Fear of something new
Fear of reduced standards
18. Classroom Tips - Groups
Form groups for each unit to build a sense of community.
Consider group quizzes/tests for part of assessment time
- helpful with very challenging problems.
Have class determine fair consequences for class
members who don’t pull their weight.
19. Classroom Tips - Contextual Problems
No one context appeals to everyone.
It’s ok to have to look up information specific to a context.
Answer questions with questions.
Don’t rescue students but watch for students getting
overwhelmed.
20. Before you implement a pilot...
1. Communicate with your team (including administrators and
adjuncts) so that everyone knows the pilot is happening.
2. Work with advisors. Work with advisors. Work with advisors.
3. Plan for a bridge to STEM course for students who change their
mind - will affect content you include in the pathways course.
4. Plan for data collection and studies.
5. Empower adjuncts to be mentors.
21. Before you implement a pilot...
6.Plan for training.
7.Consider classroom setup and class size.
8.Consider observing another instructor's class and allow them to
observe your class.
9.Plan for debriefing time amongst all the pathways instructors
(face-to-face or online). This allows you to solve problems as
they arise.
10.Consider using common assessments. You can share the
workload as well as see course-level issues.
22. A final, important note
Be prepared to tweak the course, its policies, and
perhaps even the content.
It will take some time to get the course where you
want it to be.
