with Bethany Lake
This session begins in
Bethany Lake demonstrates how picture books can make mathematics ACCESSIBLE to all students while building deep conceptual UNDERSTANDING through real-world CONNECTIONS and hands-on EXPERIENCES.
I’ve made it easy for you to take the information and inspiration from the virtual math summit sessions and implement it into your classroom so that you can start to become a Recovering Traditionalist. Capture all the amazing ideas, take notes and plan what the next steps are that you’ll put in place in your classroom with your Virtual Math Summit Workbook. If you registered for the VMS Summit you already received this resource via email. If you are watching this session and have not registered, do so now and get the Summit Workbook.
At the END of the Virtual Math Summit, we will email summit registrants a link to a Certificate Request form. We do this so that your sessions can be consolidated into one certificate. If you are watching this session but never registered for the Virtual Math Summit and you want a certificate and the VMS Workbook, click the button below to register and ensure you receive the emails about certificates.
Bethany is a math teacher, homeschool mom to 4 teens and the owner/founder of the site MathGeekMama.com, where she shares engaging teaching ideas, free resources and support for K-8 math teachers. She has taught in a variety of grades and settings, but the goal is always the same: to help students feel confident and capable doing math. She is also the author of the picture book, "1, 2, 3, Animals!" and loves to share her passion and enthusiasm for math learning with parents and teachers everywhere. In her free time you'll often find her reading a good book or walking along the beach with her family on the beautiful Georgia coast.
