DESCRIPTION

The focus of this workshop will be implementing Singapore's problem-solving approach to instruction, and differentiating problems and tasks to meet the needs of our increasingly diverse classrooms. We have asked Dr. Yeap to spend extra time on Bar Modeling and other visual representations of problems to help our students bridge their thinking between the concrete and the abstract.

Dr. Yeap, in his usual relaxed and entertaining style, will model instruction, and connect instructional practice to solid education research. He does all of this in a way that allows his students to not only learn but to apply what they have learned immediately. He will use a variety of K5 mathematical tasks, including many from Math in Focus, Singapore Mathematics Primary Series, Smarter Balance Assessment items and the Common Core State Standards.

Learning Objectives:

  • Developing meaningful Anchor Tasks to drive instruction preparing engaging and highly effective lessons

  • Preparing engaging and highly effective lessons

  • Designing and delivering lessons that allow for remediation and enrichment

  • Using questioning practices that facilitate student accessibility and engagement

  • Using bar models to simplify problems, deepen understanding and bridge to abstract concepts.

Each day of the workshop will have a different content focus. During the first day Dr. Yeap will use examples more suitable to teachers working with children in kindergarten through the second grade. On the second day his examples will be more appropriate for teachers in grades 3-5 classrooms.

Speaker

Dr. Yeap Ban Har

The media has called Dr. Yeap Ban Har “Singapore Math's Michael Jordan” and "Royalty when it comes to Singapore Math." He is considered to be one of the most accomplished trainers and speakers in the world on the subjects of K5 Mathematics and Singapore Mathematics. Dr. Yeap Ban Har has taught at National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore for more than ten years. Presently, for the last seven years, he holds two concurrent positions as the Director of Curriculum and Professional Development at Pathlight School in Singapore, and the principal of Marshall Cavendish Institute, a global teacher professional development division of Marshall Cavendish Publishers.
