Workshop

On Thursday, February 5, 2009 from 5:00-8:00 p.m. at P.N.C. in the technology building, room 134 please join Math Encounters in putting together the math/literacy kits for each of the MCAS schools. Mary Jane and I have done all the shopping with the lists you created and MCAS purchased the manipulatives for each of the books.

Talk about a math encounter - we had to estimate, problem solve, add, subtract, multiply and divide in order to purchase manipulatives for 12 books for 12 sites.

Please bring the lesson plans you created for the books(so far we have 4 and there are 12 books). Your colleagues are COUNTING on you. After the Math EnCOUNTER workshop you be able to take the kit back to your school and engage your students in many math encounters.

Please respond to the blog to let us know that you will be joining us. We are looking forward to another Math EnCOUNTer!
