It is very hard to shift your teaching FROM a teacher-focused lesson, with you doing all the instruction and kids just listening TO more of a student-centered lesson where kids think, discuss, debate, & wonder while you facilitate the mathematical learning.
That’s where the pillars of The Flexibility Formula come in. By focusing on The Flexibility Formula pillars you will help kids build their math minds and not just create calculators, by seeing math as something that can’t be taught….it’s caught.
All the speakers in the summit are here to help you as you shift your teaching. Each speaker addresses at least one of The Flexibility Formula pillars. The pillars are explained in more detail in your Summit Workbook.
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.
Ann Elise Record is an independent consultant, a national presenter for the Bureau of Education and Research, contributing author to Fluency Doesn't Just Happen with Addition and Subtraction, a professional development facilitator for the Build Math Minds PD community, and currently the Elementary Representative on the NH Teachers of Mathematics board. She has been a classroom teacher, Math Coach/Specialist K-5, adjunct faculty member teaching math methods classes to pre-service teachers, and now thrilled to be an author! Ann Elise is passionate about sharing growth mindset messages with anyone she meets (yes, even grocery store cashiers who tell her that they were never good at math) that everyone can learn math, making mistakes is part of the learning process, and you don’t need to be fast to be good at math.
She wholeheartedly believes that there is nothing elementary about teaching elementary math! She has spearheaded work within the math intervention times to include math fact fluency work based on data gleaned from administering Dr. Nicki Newton’s Math Running Records, CGI word problem structure, as well as the instructional methods needed to build conceptual understanding and progress students on their math journeys. She loves every opportunity to share current best practices for teaching math and creating classroom climates that promote positive attitudes towards math and the development of lifelong mathematicians.
