Paper Folding With Standards<br>
Thursday, January 29, 2009<br>
5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.<br><br>
</b></font></div>
<font size=2>Paper folding in math? I don’t have enough days in the year
to get everything done now and you want me to fold paper too? Origami is
often regarded as “fun” or even “a waste of time” by administrators and
teachers alike but of no real use in a standards-based curriculum.
Certainly it cannot be used to teach the math standards, right? How often
have we heard or thought this very thing ourselves?<br><br>
Join our presenters (Linda Faulk, Shirley Roath, and Davida Fischman) for
Paper-Folding 101 and see how this ancient technique can be<b><u>
utilized to teach and reinforce the California Math Standards at all
levels from elementary through high school.</u></b> <b><u>Learn how you
can engage your students in real mathematics with this simple,
readily-available resource using hands-on activities without neglecting
the important teaching you need to be doing in your classroom
everyday!</u></b> Guess what? You will still be teaching the grade-level
standards and keeping your students motivated!<br><br>
Don’t miss this opportunity to network with other teachers of mathematics
in Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Invite parents, administrators,
pre-service teachers or another teacher from your site. The cost is
$10.00 for members of RSBCMTA* and <u>$15.00 for non-members and includes
the meal and the materials The deadline for registration is Monday,
January 26, 2008. <br><br>
</u></font>This Network Dinner will be held at the San Bernardino City
Schools Education Development Center in San Bernardino. The Center is
located on the lower level at the west end of the Carousel Mall
next to the I-215 freeway in San Bernardino. Exit Second Street from the
I-215 and head east. Turn left into the Carousel Mall parking lot. If you
park in the lower parking lot at the southwest corner of the mall then
enter the double glass doors nearest the parking lot on the mall lower
level.<br><br>
