PreAlgebra Professional Development DVD Video Package
©2006
Softcover with DVD
The Pre-Algebra Professional Development Series includes five Pre-Algebra units. Each unit provides an interactive experience in which program users watch and listen to video clips of a classroom lesson, interviews with a guest educator,and an interview with the teacher of the video lesson. Units may be used individually or combined for custom courses. Lessons are designed to be self paced for independent instruction, district facilitated for professional development, or university instructor-led for accreditation or re-certification. These robust courses are approved for both college and CEU credits.

Features:


Integers
Participants use number lines and positive and negative counters to explore the meaning of integers and results of operations on integers. Participants observe a classroom lesson on integer addition, consider teaching strategies that support this content in the classroom, and develop a lesson plan for teaching this or similar content. The NCTM strand most addressed by this unit is Number and Operations.


The Pythagorean Theorem
Participants work with plane shapes, angles, and the concepts of perimeter and area. Participants observe a classroom lesson on the Pythagorean theorem, consider teaching strategies that support this content in the classroom, and develop a lesson plan for teaching this or similar content. The NCTM strands most addressed by this unit are Measurement and Geometry.


Surface Area and Volume
Participants extend their knowledge of plane geometry concepts to include surface area and volume, including ways to compute the surface area and volume of various three-dimensional shapes. Participants observe a classroom lesson on in which surface area and volume are connected to algebraic concepts, consider teaching strategies that support this content in the classroom, and develop a lesson plan for teaching this or similar content. The NCTM strands most addressed by this unit are Measurement and Geometry.


Multi-Step Equations
Participants extend their understanding of ways to teach multi-step equations. They use algebra tiles and algebraic methods to solve multi-step equations; consider teaching strategies that support this content in the classroom; examine student work to identify problem areas; and consider appropriate intervention strategies. The NCTM teaching strands most addressed by this unit are Algebra and Problem Solving.


Graphing Linear Equations
Participants extend their understanding of ways to teach linear equations with an emphasis on graphing. They graph points and lines and relate graphs to their numerical representations; consider teaching strategies that support this content in the classroom; examine student work to identify problem areas; and consider appropriate intervention strategies. The NCTM teaching strands most addressed by this unit are Algebra and Representation.
