Elementary TEXTEAMS
Created by the State of Texas to promote Standards-based elementary education, all Institutes are hands-on, and range from 2 to 5 days. Our Trainers are Texas Certified by the Charles S. Dana Center.
Achieving Mathematical Literacy, Elementary TEXTEAMS, Grades 1-2 (5 days)
Presents all 5 mathematical strands (number and operation, patterns, geometry, measurement, probability and data analysis) in hands-on format. Handout for the Institute fills a 3-inch binder. Games, literature connections, problem-solving generously sprinkled throughout the entire workshop.
Achieving Mathematical Literacy, Elementary TEXTEAMS, Grades 3-5 (5 days)
Presents all 5 mathematical strands (number and operation, patterns, geometry, measurement, probability and data analysis) in hands-on format. Handout for the Institute fills a 3-inch binder. Games, literature connections, problem-solving generously sprinkled throughout the entire workshop.
Rethinking Elementary Mathematics TEXTEAMS, Part 1 (5 days)
Intense developing of the “big ideas” within the strands of mathematics. Part 1 focuses on Number, Operation and Quantitative Reasoning. Teachers develop tremendous skills in leading students to a thorough understanding of place value, number sense, and operations of whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. Handout of lesson plans, activities, and how-to pieces fills a 4-inch binder.
Rethinking Elementary Mathematics TEXTEAMS, Part 2 (5 days)
A continuation of Rethinking Elementary Mathematics TEXTEAMS, Part1. Part 2 focuses on the other strands of mathematics: patterns, relationships and algebraic thinking; geometry; measurement; probability and data analysis; and problem solving.
