**Energize Your K-8 Math Classroom with Fresh Tips and Ideas Marcy Cook Webinar**
 * About the Speaker:**

Her experiences with classroom teaching, GATE (gifted and talented education) and student teacher supervision have provided her with many ideas to share with other educators. Now based in Balboa Island, California, Marcy works as an independent math consultant for public and private schools.
 * Marcy Cook** is the author of 98 books and more than 175 mini math centers. She has presented workshops and seminars for teachers throughout the US and in more than 35 other countries. She has taught all elementary grades, junior high, senior high and university level. She earned her Master's degree from Stanford University, For many years, her TILING activites have been favorities with K-8 students and teachers. Marcy's problem-solving books, especially //Math Starters & Stumpers// also have been popular with teachers who want to motivate their students to think.

In this webinar, Marcy will show you how to create a "live" math classroom that invites and entices //all// elementary and middle school students to become actively involved in mathematical thinking. Learn how to help students build a firm math foundation with number sense activites and a focus on problem solving and logical thinking. Ensure that students develop a true understanding of the concepts and vocabulary of mathematics by involving them in mathematical communication. You also will learn how to organize your mathematics class to ensure that problem solving, communication, reasoning and making connections are constants (not variables). Marcy will present an organizational plan for daily mathematical lessons with emphasis on number sense, reasoning and strategic problem solving.
 * Webinar topics:**
 * Opening activities to capture students' interest
 * Techniques to make the first 5 minutes of the mathematics period motivational and thought-provoking
 * Practical suggestions for using number tiles in connection with computation, vocabulary, concepts and problem solving (a teacher and student favorite!)
 * Using a variety of mental math techniques to provide a balanced program
 * Maximizing math minutes and differentiating instruction with math centers
 * Maintaining skills with independent task time activities
 * Creating opportunities for students to probe, explore, experiment and persevere
 * Alternative drill and practice activities
 * Stumpers or challenges to keep minds in motion on a daily basis
 * Constant assessment techniques
 * Activities and experiences that help develop number sense
 * Organizing an effective mathematics period
 * Differentiating instruction to meet the needs of individual students
