Strategies for Struggling Math Students
Grades: 4-8
Presented by: Gayle Palka
Gayle is well known for her ability to craft specialized workshops specifically suited to meet the individual needs of schools that she works with, ensuring that both hands-on and math literacy activities will always be included!
This workshop incorporates a variety of research-based information about why students struggle in math. It allows participants to work collaboratively and practice a number of hands-on strategies to take back to their classrooms and immediately apply to their teaching.
    Upon completion of this hands-on math workshop, participants will be able to:
  • Apply research-based instructional strategies to increase mathematical literacy for all learners.
  • Recognize the importance of including the five NCTM Process Standards (Problem Solving, Reasoning and Proof, Communication, Connections, and Representation) when teaching in the five Content Standards (Number Sense, Algebra, Geometry, Measurement, and Statistics and Probability).
  • Identify primary learning styles of students to create differentiated instructional opportunities for all learners.
  • Explain how building vocabulary knowledge is necessary for learners to be able to communicate precisely in mathematics.
  • Create higher-level thinking questions to promote concept attainment and formation.
  • Implement problem-solving strategies that help students with organizing information and developing mathematically sound concepts and processes.
