About this event

  • Event lasts 21 days 3 hours

    Come learn with us as we explore this important mathematical domain together. Proportional reasoning is essential for success in math and science. This PD series approaches the development of proportional reasoning through the following contexts: multiple representations with ratios, percent ratio comparisons, rate of change and measurement.

    The goal for this three-session professional development series:

    ■Using different mathematical contexts, participants will "expand their understanding,

    application, and enjoyment of ratios, proportions, and proportional reasoning."

    ■ Participants will be able to then facilitate these experiences for students.

    ■ How to implement the revised 2023 CA Math Framework

    *Participants will receive a copy of Teaching Fractions and Ratios for Understanding: Essential Content Knowledge and Instructional Strategies for Teachers by Susan J. Lamon.*

    Cost:

    $ 100 per individual ($80 if registered by August 2)

    $ 75 per individual for a team of 3 or more

    Registration ends: August 16,2024

    The UC San Diego Mathematics Project is one of 20 sites of the California Mathematics Project (cmpso.org) which is supported by the State of California and administered by the University of California Office of the President. Housed in the Center for Research on Equity, Assessment and Teaching Excellence (CREATE) at UC San Diego, this effort draws strength from increased collaboration with San Diego County Office of Education, other California Mathematics Projects, California Subject Matter Projects, school districts, colleges and universities.

    The goal of the UC San Diego Mathematics Project is to develop teacher leaders who will support classroom teachers in the journey to deepen their own understanding and proficiency with the CaCCSS-M and effective pedagogy. Visit our website for more information.
