Where did September go? It must be the fastest month in our calendar. I hope all teachers are settled and enjoying the new school year. <\/p>\n

Fall Math Workshops<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you haven’t already done so, you might want to sign up for our fall workshops.<\/p>\n

In our two Diving Deeper In Math series (one is for primary teachers, the other intermediate), we will be examining how to strengthen our learners’ curricular competencies as we teach math content. These series involve 3 dinner sessions and one half day (Nov 22) with Carole Fullerton. Participants will also receive a Fullerton resource of their choice.<\/p>\n

Our fall book club for K-5 is Number Sense Routines. Participants will receive either the K-3 or 3-5 book of their choice.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can also plan now for January, as the legendary Box Cars and One Eyed Jacks authors will be doing an after school workshop on January 9th.<\/p>\n

You can sign up for these offerings on the staff development calendar.<\/p>\n

For secondary teachers, I am offering to support collaboration at each school. Feel free to contact me at Donna.Morgan@burnabyschools.ca for more information.<\/p>\n

Resources to Check Out<\/h2>\n

Robert Kaplinsky’s blog (click on image below) is a great resource of open middle questions, professional development videos about math (including a completely astonishing story about 8th \"\"<\/a>grade students answering an impossible math question) and other delights.  I urge you to spend some time on this excellent site.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A new book that I am starting is called Necessary Conditions: Teaching Secondary Math With Academic Safety, Quality Tasks, and Effective Facilitation.  Coming soon to a book club in Burnaby, I suspect.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Math Games Nights\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

Dates are booking up as several elementary schools are holding successful games nights for parents.  Show parents how they can help develop numeracy in students, and have some FUN without the dreaded sheets and pages of homework. Contact me to set one up (this will work for a couple of classes or for a school-wide event).<\/p>\n
