Important Notes:
· The above topics form a rough outline of the topics for this workshop. The topics will change as needed as the workshop progresses.
· These Re-Imagining Mathematics Workshops are not intended to cover all the topics that a teacher may need for any particular grade. Teachers who need this should consider Making Math Meaningful books and Grade-Specific Online Workshops – all of which can be found at our website, www.JamieYorkPress.com.
· The central purpose of this workshop is to allow the adult participants to re-imagine what mathematics is, which then influences what can be brought into the classroom for any grade. Therefore, some of the topics are intended specifically for adults and may not be suitable for children/students. In other words, be prepared to do real math! It could change your life!
