About the Seminar:
Kim’s new class gives K-5 teachers powerful math content instruction and comprehension that will effectively improve students’ understanding and testing in a standards-based math classroom.
This class addresses the NCTM Principles and Standards for School Mathematics and uses brain-based research to teach the content in five emphasis areas—properties of numbers, access to basic facts, properties of shapes, attributes of objects and proportional reasoning.
Kim Sutton will model strategies that give elementary students a strong foundation for algebraic thinking and her literature-based lessons will be used to show real world connections. The use of poems and music will give teachers wonderful tools to improve the level of performance within their classroom.
A critical key for student performance is access to basic facts. Participants will experience Kim Sutton’s motivational strategies for the basic facts of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Kim will also focus on instruction in properties of numbers which include even and odd attributes, multiples, factors, digital roots for divisibility rules, place value properties, rounding of numbers, and number use in the real world.
Kim is very excited about this class and has created many new ideas, games, songs, stories, and “hands-on” activities that are guaranteed to help you improve your mathematics instruction.
About the Speaker:
Kim Sutton is a fabulous presenter, who has taught thousands of teachers
the joy and excitement of “hands-on” math. Kim’s teaching experience
includes over 25 years of classroom teaching and time as a regional math specialist
and university instructor. Kim has worked with over 200 districts nationally
and internationally as a staff development consultant. Kim has written many
articles about pattern blocks, classroom management and is the author of Math
