Professional Development Videos for K-2 Mathematics

The Learning Environment for
K-2 Mathematics...What Does It Look Like?
In this video Kathy Richardson provides teachers,
parents and administrators with a vision of what the learning environment should look like when
teaching mathematics for understanding and concept development in the K-2 classroom. She takes
you to real classrooms where teachers are doing real work with children. She gives you a
close-up look at children thinking, looking for relationships, explaining and working hard in a
setting that encourages their active involvement. You will see a dynamic and supportive
learning environment that helps children be successful in mathematics. A guidebook for
inservice sessions with blackline masters for inservice handouts are included with the
videotape. (item #01-1003 $89.95)
Thinking With Numbers
"Math Time: Thinking with Numbers" shows children doing
arithmetic in a way that makes sense to them, using strategies that are simple, yet meaningful
and powerful. Thinking with Numbers features classroom teachers and students engaged in mental
math sessions that foster children's understanding of number concepts. This unique approach
enables teachers to find out what children are thinking and doing when they add, subtract,
multiply, and divide.
The children shown in Thinking with Numbers are not exceptional - they are real students in
real classrooms, typical of most students in this country, Yet not one of them says, "I can't
do this problem." They all try and they all find a way to solve any problem they are given.
Why? Because they have been taught to do math in a way that makes sense to them.
Included in this two video set is a guide with background information for the discussion
leader and a handout section for teachers. (item #01-1005 $155.00)
Making It Work In Your Classroom
"Math Time: Making It Work In Your Classroom" is
designed to show K-2 teachers how to create and orchestrate a learning environment where students
develop mathematical understanding and learn to love math. From the room arrangement, to the
simple materials, to managing an effective "math time", where all students are confidently engaged
at their own level, the viewers learn how to "make it all happen" right in their own classrooms!
This video set is composed of two videos divided into three parts or inservice sessions: Part
1: Getting Ready, Part 2: Establishing the Learning Environment, and Part 3: Teaching and Learning
Mathematics. A study guide outlining three inservice sessions with blackline masters for handouts
is included.
So whether you are an inservice leader looking for a good classroom management video or an
individual classroom teacher simply wanting to do a better job of managing your math time,
"Making It Work In Your Classroom" is for you! (item 01-1006 $155.00)
A Look At Children's Thinking
Here is assistance for educators seeking assessment
practices that support learning in the developmentally appropriate classroom. "A Look At Children's
Thinking" examines varying development levels of children's thinking while providing a model for
assessment techniques and for assessing children while they work. The videos help teachers focus
on how children think and what they understand so they can provide experiences that help children
develop in their ability to make sense of number concepts. Excellent for inservice programs,
college classes, or individual study. A comprehensive guide is included. (item #3414V

Math Time:
The Learning Environment
- by Kathy Richardson
This book is uniquely devoted to helping K-2 teachers
create a positive environment for learning mathematics: an environment that supports each child's
development of true mathematical understanding. The author not only helps teachers tell the
difference between "right answers" and true understanding - she also gives them many concrete tips
and techniques for managing the classroom. These tips include step-by-step instructions for
setting up the room, choosing the most effective classroom setting and introducing and managing
the activities. Teachers also learn to make the most of students' misunderstandings; to teach to
the edge of each child's understanding; and to develop students who are focused, engaged, and
learning to love mathematics. This most important guidebook is an excellent resource for all K-2
and pre-service teachers seeking to teach math for understanding.
