MN Math Leaders/MDE FREE Webinar 2022 Math Standards Shifts #1: What is Mathematical Rigor? Time: Thursday, September 26th 4:00 - 4:45 p.m. Leader: Sara VanDerWerf Description: The 2022 Minnesota Academic Standards in Mathematics include a definition of ‘Mathematical Rigor’ that is the umbrella for all of the future math standards. Come learn about his definition and how it overlays the dimensions, strands, standards and benchmarks across K-12. The definition will give districts/sites and educators insights into effective mathematical instruction to transform student outcomes. ZOOM Link: You will get this after registering. MDE is partnering with MCTM's Minnesota Math Leaders to host the Math Standards Shifts Webinar Series virtually on ZOOM. We hope to record each webinar and post it to the MCTM YouTube channel within a week of each session. Sessions are designed to be used at sites (PLCs or team meetings) and will come with a protocol for using the information shared in the webinar. 2024 MN Math Leaders/MDE FREE Webinar Reading in Math Series #1: The 3-Reads Routine with MN Math Standards Time: Wednesday, October 9th at 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. ZOOM Link: You will get this after registering. Leader: Sara Van Der WerfDescription: Are you looking for ways to support K-12 math students in accessing text in mathematics to engage as problem solvers? Join us for part 1 of the ‘Reading in Math’ where we will explore the three reads routine connected to MN standards. This routine is adapted from Stanford’s UL/SCALE Mathematical Language Routines and from Routines for Reasoning, by Grace Kelemanik, Amy Lucenta and Susan Janssen Creighton (pp. 128–149). The purpose of the routine is to ensure that students know what they are being asked to do, create opportunities for students to reflect on the ways mathematical questions are presented, and equip students with tools used to negotiate meaning. This routine supports reading comprehension, sense-making, and meta-awareness of mathematical language. It also supports negotiating information in a text with a partner in mathematical conversation. Join us for a quick 1 hour webinar where you will experience the routine in the context of MN Math standards. Part 2 in the ‘Reading in Math’ series will be on Wednesday, March 12th, 2025 from 4-5pm and part 3 pm March 26, 2025 from 4-5pm. MDE is partnering with MCTM's Minnesota Math Leaders to host a ‘Reading in Math’ Webinar Series virtually on ZOOM. We hope to record each webinar and post it to the MCTM YouTube channel within a week of each session. Sessions are designed to be used at sites (PLCs or team meetings) and will come with a protocol for using the information shared in the webinar. | MDE Minnesota Academic Standards 2024-25 Webinar Series PART 1: How Do Standards Drive the Work of K-12 Academics? Co-Sponsors: The Minnesota Science Teachers Association (MnSTA) The Minnesota Council of Teachers of English (MCTE). The Minnesota Council of Teachers of Mathematics (MCTM) Time: Monday, September 30th from 3:30-4:30 p.m. (Note: The webinar is approximately 45 minutes in length with 15 minutes of Q&A) Leaders: Angie Kolonich, Kristin Bauck and Sara VanDerWerf Description: It is a Minnesota State statute to ‘teach the standards’. What do we mean by ‘standards’? More importantly, how do standards drive the work of K-12 Academics and Instruction? Come hear 3 specific ideas from three different content areas from the MDE Academic Standards Team. ZOOM Link: You will get this after registering. MDE is partnering with MCTM's Minnesota Math Leaders, MnSTA and MCTE to host the MDE MN Academic Standards Webinar Series virtually on ZOOM. We hope to record each webinar and post it to the MCTM YouTube channel within a week of each session. 2024 MN Math Leaders/MDE FREE Webinar 10 Part Math Webinar on the 8 Mathematical Practices Time: Wednesdays from 7:00 - 7:30 a.m. with Q & A from 7:30 - 7:45 a.m starting on September 18th, 2024 ZOOM Link: You will get this after registering. Leader: Sara Van Der WerfDescription: Every benchmark in the future 2022 MN Math Standards includes a link to one or more of the 8 Standards of Mathematical Practice. What are the Mathematical Practices? How can math educators and leaders build these into their work with the current standards and prepare for future standards? To learn more, join us for a 10-part series titled 'The 8 Mathematical Practices where we answer questions and more. MDE is partnering with MCTM's Minnesota Math Leaders to host the ten 30-minute Webinars biweekly on Wednesdays from 7:00 - 7:30 a.m. with Q & A from 7:30 - 7:45 a.m. virtually on ZOOM. We hope to record each webinar and post it to the MCTM YouTube channel within a week of each session. Sessions are designed to be used at sites (PLCs or team meetings) and will come with a protocol for using the information shared in the short webinar. |
