__**// "Math in the Life Science Classroom" by Ellie Fitts Fulmer and Sally Wolfe //
 * __ Name of Session:

Teachers will have an opportunity to further their understanding of math concepts in relation to life science. They will. . .  ·   reflect on their current opportunities to integrate math with their life science curriculum,  ·  discover ways to connect math concepts to science curricula in meaningful and strategic ways,  ·  share successful practices with peers,  ·  practice their own skills at scientific drawings. 1.  Teachers will interactively participate in a scientific drawing, reviewing essential components and sharing their successes and challenges. 2.  Teachers will discuss the natural opportunities to integrating math with life science. 3.  Teachers will refer to //Using Science Notebooks in Elementary Classrooms,// an NSTA resource book which will validate the use of graphing, measurement, elapsed time, pattern and keen observation. 4.  Teachers will be introduced to patterns and graphing ideas to help them facilitate the use of math within their science curriculum. 5.  Teachers will be presented with additional connections, including center and classroom management ideas, which will be culminated at a //Make and Take Workshop// on Day 5. At that time teachers will select and create their own materials for immediate use with their students. Return to Home
