* utilize experiential learning so that your students will understand mathematical concepts that go beyond rote memory,
* learn strategies and tips for each grade level you teach so that your students will become more confident about learning math and will strengthen their mathematical skills,
* learn about the current and historical accomplishments and strengths of African people in mathematics throughout the world,
* address math anxiety, lack of confidence and gaps in understanding concepts, and
* challenge your super math stars!
* challenge your super math stars!

Number & Operations Sense
Easy ways to master addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts and more -- and it will not be using the dreaded "drill and kill" or meaningless memory tricks! You will learn to facilitate an understanding of numbers and operations beginning with 3 year olds and continuing through challenging activities for 8th graders. When you know how to teach "word problems" to 4-year-olds, your students will breeze through algebra word problems in middle school. And, after this session you will also have a new appreciation of 2(3+8).
Fractions
These pesky little parts of numbers got you and your students missing the whole number? You will love this cluster of classes. Whether you have preschoolers playing with pattern blocks or middle schoolers solving ratio and proportion problems, you'll learn how to build a logical foundation and connect fractions, decimals and percents in various situations.
Storytelling with Data, Statistics & Graphs
A picture is worth a thousand words -- or a thousand numbers! You'll learn how to tell stories about data using graphs and other types of visual representations.
Positive and Negative Integers
As always, understanding the concepts behind these mathematical notations is the key. We'll have fun with hands-on activities and applications for your lessons with your students.
Algebra
You'll learn the underlying concepts as well as approaches to teaching problem solving that lead to successful algebra students.
Geometry
Do you enjoy the non-numerical aspects of geometry that make some students feel like it's "not really math!"? That and more will be part of this day.
