Helping students build Mental Math and Computation Strategies by engaging them in discourse routines that support Common Core Standards.

The Number Talks book, by Sherry Parrish, has more than 850 purposefully designed number talks and a DVD featuring 19 number talks filmed in Actual Classrooms.

The Stanislaus County Office of Education MATHCON 2018 is the premier location in the Central Valley to engage in a wide variety of professional development opportunities in the area of math instruction for the TK-12 classroom.

In addition to a fantastic keynote speaker, we will have several breakout sessions hosted by rock star teachers from across Stanislaus County and an exhibit hall filled with powerful resources to bring back to their classrooms.

Lunch is provided and there will be ample opportunities to win prizes throughout the day.

Participants will have an opportunity to engage in hands-on lessons that integrates both science and mathematics.  The Science and Mathematics Standards require that students learn disciplinary content and practices, and these practices intentionally overlap to demonstrate the connections between math and science.

Participants will:

• Use science and mathematics skills to demonstrate understanding of natural phenomena.
• Participant in hands-on science lessons that integrate mathematics.
