Final Due Dates and Assignments

Course Due Dates and Assignments

We are over halfway through the Summer Session of the Multisensory Math Course.  Our first round of video conferences have concluded and everyone should be through day 3 or 4 of the videos.  

The second half of the course work contains some of the most complex work in the course.  It is also some of the most important.  As you saw in the opening day's presentation, many of our students with learning challenges begin to fail before third grade testing.  That said, test scores reveal that multiplication/division and fraction/decimal concept present significant hurdles for many students, especially those with disabilities.  

Do not rush through the work on multiplication and division or fractions.  The language of fraction concepts and operations is among the most specific in the course.  You will need to work through this slowly and perhaps play some of the video sections again while taking notes.  We will also make sure that we go over the fraction operations with manipulatives during the second round of video conferences.  I have also placed extra video conference recordings of fraction proportional reasoning in your play list.  If you teach fractions, you should view one or more of those videos and take notes on the explicit language. 

You will find that no one single model of fractions is sufficient and that students need multiple models and lots of practice to actually understand fraction concepts and be able to reason with them.  

Our course video access will end on September 16th.  You will have an additional week to turn in any assignments and projects. 

If you are taking the course for CEU credits only, your due dates are the same as everyone else but you may complete your work earlier.  You have less to do though I would expect you to complete all videos, video activities and video conference requirements.  Do not believe that you can fully understand the content of this course by simply watching the videos.  You need to practice with the on-site class to be able to implement the strategies effectively.

The exam will be emailed to all class participants about a week before the end of the class. Usually the exam is emailed and participants have two weeks to turn in assignments.
