	Everything You Want to Know about the ISAT Test but Were Afraid to Ask This is a basic introduction of the ISAT mathematics test, including content and tools. Using the Mathematics Assessment Framework, we will explore what will be on the tests at each grade level, including samples of number sense, measurement, algebra, geometry and probability test items. Practice scoring student responses to short answer and extended response questions will also be provided. Everything You Want to Know about the PSAE Test but Were Afraid to Ask This is a basic introduction of the PSAE mathematics test, including content and tools. Using the Mathematics Assessment Framework, we will explore what will be on the tests, including samples of ACT and WorkKey items. Time will be devoted to analyzing current courses and alignment to the assessment framework.
	Teaching Strategies to Improve Student Achievement in Mathematics on the ISAT This workshop is designed to engage teachers and administrators in hands-on mathematical activities and teaching strategies. We will share researched-based, practical, proven strategies designed to increase your student’s motivation to learn mathematics. We will focus on practical classroom applications and school policies that lead to increased student achievement on the ISAT, along with increased teacher satisfaction. We will look at a variety of ways to build student interest and involvement, increase problem solving and critical thinking skills, as well as incorporate the use of more authentic forms of assessments in your mathematics classrooms. This high-quality formative data is then used to ensure mathematics achievement for ALL students.

Teaching Math to Special Education Students This workshop is designed to provide teachers and administrators a common-sense, practical, and simple approach to teaching mathematics to Special Education students. Mathematical reasoning, problem solving, and analytical thinking is becoming increasingly important with the advent of the new global workforce. Our focus will be on providing the appropriate mathematics content and strategies, activities, and methods that accelerate the learning of mathematics for ALL students. This will provide students with opportunities that allow them to develop confidence in their ability to do mathematics so that the doors to future options remain open.
	The Power of Words Lack of vocabulary is one of the key indicators of low achieving students. It is no wonder that if students do poorly in math because of poor vocabulary understanding. Learn ways to "teach" vocabulary for understanding and not just memorize for short term problem solving. Activities will be integrated in hands-on math activities. Reading and Writing in Mathematics Reading and writing strategies need to address the different context of word meanings and the strategies to read more technical information. Learn how some of the reading and writing strategies used in the language arts classroom can be adapted to fit mathematics content. This workshop explores those strategies to help increase understanding of mathematics by learning and integrating strategic teaching of mathematics.
	Math Games to Teach Math Concepts Students not remembering basic facts; students not motivated; teachers bored with grading drill and practice sheets. Come see how math games can help students remember basic facts and motivate them to use their mathematical skills. Games in the workshop will focus on using basic facts, problem solving, vocabulary, and mathematical reasoning. A variety of games will be demonstrated that are easy, no frills make and take games, as well as several, inexpensive commercialized games. In addition, participants will focus on the teaching strategies to bring out the math concepts and understanding to help increase student achievement.
