USING INVESTIGATIONS TO PROMOTE INQUIRY BASED MATHEMATICS INSTRUCTION IN K-5 (UNIT 2)
Class Limit: 20 per grade level
Title: Inquiry-based Approaches to Operating with Fractions, Decimal, and Percents--Secondary
Facilitator: Vicki Kapust, Center for the Advancement of Math and Science Education, Black Hills State University
Description: This professional development opportunity is another in the series of classes designed around the inquiry-based curriculum units available at the middle schools. Specifically we will explore operations with rational numbers in the middle grades.
In this workshop, teachers will have the opportunity to (1) practice inquiry-based instructional strategies, (2) strengthen their content knowledge, and (3) prepare to teach these units in their classrooms. Participants will look at the curriculum materials from several perspectives. You will get hands-on practice by doing activities from the units (the perspective of your students) and you will also have the opportunity to discuss the pedagogical issues behind inquiry-based curriculum materials and how to best implement these units in your classroom (your own teacher perspective).
This class differs from previous classes in the following ways. We will be meeting three times in face-to-face sessions for a total of nine hours. The remaining six hours will be spent implementing inquiry-based approaches in your classrooms. Part of the face-to-face time will be spent discussing your students’ work and other issues relating to classroom implementation.
Meeting Dates and Times:
January 27, February 10, March 3
Location: North Middle School, Rapid City
Credit: 1 graduate or undergraduate credit from Black Hills State University ($59.00) and/or SD Recertification credit

Ever wonder why we count in groups of tens, why there are 360 0 in a circle or how we came to understand irrational numbers? Can you identify the famous mathematicians pictured here? How did the ideas of number, algebra and calculus develop? In this course, participants trace the historical development of a major mathematics concept of their choice and share their findings with the entire class. Participants analyze the nature of mathematics, as well as develop content and process knowledge. The historical development of mathematics in general is also discussed. This class is a must for all teachers of mathematics at any level because they are the carriers of mathematical culture and mathematics without its history is mathematics as if it were dead!

Title: Inquiry-based Rates, Ratios, Percents and Proportions: Secondary
Instructor(s): Sally Heberlein
Target Audience: upper elementary, middle and high school math teachers, special education teachers and staff, secondary counselors and administrators
Dates: June 20-23, 2005
Time: 9:00 AM to 1 PM
Location: North Middle School, Room 286
Available Credit: 1 BHSU undergraduate & graduate credit/1 SD Recertification credit/15 C.E. credits/Audit
This class will explore the Measurement, Number & Operation, and the Process Standards as they relate to the 7 th grade MathScape unit, Buyer Beware, as the primary text. In this unit, participants will investigate ways to use “relative numbers” (rates, ratios, percents, and proportions) to make fair comparisons and informed decisions. The major goals of this class are learning how to best implement the MathScape units, strengthening your content knowledge and preparing you to teach these units into the classroom. Discussion of other issues relating to classroom implementation and student work will also take place.
Title: Relearning to Teach Arithmetic: Addition, Subtraction, Multipliction and Division
Instructor: Nancy Ward
Dates: June 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 30 Tue. -Thur. ( 8:00-1:00 )
Location: Numeracy Office/Valley View
This professional development course guides teachers to think critically about students' comprehension of arithmetic. Participants view and discuss video segments and then work on related math problems and discussion questions. The videos first focus on students as they demonstrate and explain to their teachers and classmates how they have solved problems involving whole-number computation. The videos then include narration and a number of interviews with teachers who offer their perspectives on the kinds of learning environments that support students as they build their understanding of concepts related to addition and subtraction.
Although addition and subtraction are a focus of the primary grades, and multiplication and division receive more emphasis in grades 3 and 4, it is recommended that teachers from all the elementary grades work through both courses together. By learning about computation across the grades, we are better able to understand how these ideas develop, how they are connected, and how the range of students in a classroom develop an understanding of whole number computation.
Specifically designed for Elementary Teachers in Grades K-6, and Special Education Teachers who work with students on mathematics. Also open to administrators.
