Welcome to the 64th Annual Conference of the Association of
Mathematics Teachers of New York State! The fact that you are
reading this message means that you appreciate the value of strong
professional development. While there are many such avenues for
professional development including articles, online resources, inservices, etc., there is nothing like the opportunity to interact face-toface with your colleagues to share ideas about effective mathematics
teaching and interesting mathematical topics. Here you will have the
opportunity to not only see new ideas but to share your own
perspectives. You will also have a chance to participate in
discussions with NYSED representatives and to sample some of the
latest innovations in our vendor area.
Research indicates that good professional development must extend
beyond one shot experiences. This is where you can really make this
conference excel. Not only will you attend presentations by some of
the finest mathematics teachers in and beyond our state, but you will
have the opportunity to connect with them after the conference via
professional networking. Make sure you get contact information and
don’t be afraid to contact a speaker after the conference; I’m sure
they would love to hear your thoughts.
So have a great time at our conference, catch up with old
acquaintances and meet new friends; and, by all means, take the
ideas back with you to your own districts. They say the best
advertising is word of mouth. I am confident that you will want to
share your experiences with your colleagues, and that we will see
you and them next year.
Sincerely,
Robert Rogers
President: AMTNYS
Welcome to the 64th Annual AMTNYS 2014 Conference!
This program for the 64th annual conference of the Association of the Mathematics Teachers of New
York State contains all of the professional opportunities available to you in Syracuse from November 9th
to 11th. We hope that you will be able to attend the entire conference.
The Program
The program lists all of the sessions (60 minutes), workshops (75 minutes) and mini-courses (2 hours)
available to you each day, admission to which is on a first come, first serve basis. Please check the
“Program Changes” board located in the registration area for any last minute changes.
Room Locations
Sessions will be held at two different locations this year. Rooms at the OnCenter include Meeting
Rooms 1-10 and Ballroom East/West. Rooms at the Crowne Plaza include Lafayette, Camillus,
Skaneateles and Pompey. Maps are located in the program.
Shuttle Buses
This year’s conference is split between the OnCenter and the Crowne Plaza. Shuttle buses will run
regularly between the two sites. Maps for both locations are located in the program.
The Speakers
Many of the presenters at the conference are classroom teachers who volunteer to share their expertise on
a particular topic, while some are representatives from companies that produce math-related materials.
While they are not paid by AMTNYS, they do have their conference registration fees waived. Our

20. Comparing Fractions using Benchmarks
Meeting Room 9/10
K-2, 3-5, 6-8
As a teacher educator I have worked with countless candidates who know one strategy for comparing fractions,
finding common denominators. Candidates often ignore the common sense strategy of using the benchmarks
of 0, 1, and ½. I have designed a learning module to teach this using the instructional strategy of gradual
release or responsibility. In this session I will share the instructional strategy as well as the lessons in the
learning module. Hands on/minds on participation by participants is expected. It is hoped that participants
will be able to modify and adapt for use in their teaching of fractions.

30. Mathematical Definitions
Meeting Room 2
Students of mathematics have many difficulties with proof-writing and many of these have to do with their
understanding of and use of mathematical definitions. Being able to recite the definitions is not even half
the battle. Mathematical definitions differ from ordinary definitions in their intent and in their usage. This
presentation will help with students' creation and use of mathematical definitions and will discuss the
difficulties students have in working with definitions and will suggest ways to improve students' usage of
definitions in mathematical reasoning.

40. Listing the Rationals
Meeting Room 1
The rational numbers are countable. The usual proof demonstrates that there exists a one-to-one function
from the natural numbers onto the positive rational numbers or simply a list of all positive rationals
(without repeats). But the list is not explicitly given. That is, there is no reasonable way to say which
rational is 150th in the list or where 21/13 appears in the list. We introduce a different listing of the
positive rationals for which answering such questions is much easier.

Meeting Room 2
In this presentation, a teacher developed curriculum for Common Core Algebra I will be discussed and
shared along with an exciting interschool collaboration project for 2014 to 2015. Schools around the state
are using the Modules for Algebra I Common Core while searching for alternatives. An Algebra I
curriculum consisting of 100 lessons, from eMathInstruction, will be adopted by many districts in New
York and other states as an alternative or supplement to the Modules. Through interschool group
discussions, this "backbone" curriculum will be enriched by participating teachers with activities, projects,
reviews, and assessments. Teachers will share comments about individual lessons and how to make them
better. This curriculum will be more reponsive, develomentally appropriate, and consistent with the
Common Core because we, the teachers, will make it that way.

Next-Generation Tools for Teaching and Assessing the
44.
Common Core
The Common Core State Standards outline what students should know and be able to do; however, in
order to promote significant student achievement, the complexity of the standards require that teachers
have expert knowledge of the nuances of each standard and a new generation of instructional materials to
ensure targeted instruction. This workshop will prepare teachers and school leaders to plan and provide
explicit instruction perfectly aligned with the demands of each standard for a wide range of ability levels.
The instructional materials will save teachers and school leaders enormous amounts of time and angst
around selecting appropriate activities and texts to teach each standard.

Constructivist Approach to Triangle and Quadrilateral
Classification using Geometry Dynamical Software
6-8, 9-12, College
Meeting Room 9/10
Geometry students are often puzzled by the definitions of terms such as kite, parallelogram, trapezoid, etc., and
the role these words play in the classification of simple geometric figures such as triangles and quadrilaterals. A
classification system based on Grunbaum (1995) enables students to move from object specific to general
conceptualization processes. An essential tool for this approach involves manipulative tools created using
Geometer’s Sketchpad (GSP) software, allowing students to use simple deductive arguments to prove facts
about the properties of shapes, make distinctions between shapes, and explore a more organized approach to
shape classification, thereby increasing conceptualization, technical skills, and proof techniques. Bring your
laptop so you can follow along.

Have you marveled at the beauty of the Mandelbrot set but always wondered how it was created? Have
you wondered where complex numbers, binomial expansion, polar form, recursion, DeMoivre’s Theorem
and fractals all combine to very simply create the Mandelbrot set? Have you wondered before teaching
these topics about when you’ll be able to explain their use? Have you (or your students) wanted to create
unique beautiful fractals that have never been investigated before? Come and join us as we investigate
(with calculators) how the Mandelbrot fractal is drawn and then expand to the Processing.org computer
language to simply and powerfully display the Mandelbrot fractal. You’ll walk away from the session with
applications for the use of complex numbers, polar form, binomial expansion, recursion, DeMoivre’s
theorem; and the computer code for you and your students to investigate and play with interactive versions
of the Mandelbrot set.

Join us to learn how this revolutionary model improves math instruction through “real world” Career and
Technical Education (CTE) situations. Outcomes including student engagement, enthusiasm, and data
from state standardized testing will be shared as proof. Numerous spin-off classes have begun out of
demand from students, parents, and the community resulting in thriving enrollment and true academic
integration. During this presentation we will share this model of teaching in an effort to help others get
started with valuable resources. An assortment of activities from each of the contextual classes. Each
participant will walk away with numerous hands on activities to try in their own situations.

99. School Bridge Program
Meeting Room 1
Over the years, the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) has funded a free bridge instruction
program for schools. We provide the teacher and materials at no cost to the district. Our presentation
would introduce the game, it's relevance to the math curriculum, and also inform participants about our
school program.
A second benefit would also be for teachers that wish to find a mentally stimulating activity that will keep
their minds challanged well into their retirement years.
I am a retired Math teacher (33 years - Dolgeville Central) and presently teach and direct games on the
local club level as well as on cruise ships. I've helped develop a club at Hamilton College that has qualified
and participated in the National Collegiate Championship.

Accelerating Common Core Math
6-8, 9-12
Meeting Room 5
The purpose of acceleration is to allow students access to advanced mathematics throughout high school
and to lay a strong foundation for the pursuit of college level mathematics. The implementation of NYS
Common Core Learning Standards for Mathematics, offers an opportunity to carefully re-examine the
sequencing of middle and high school mathematics course offerings. Especially during this transitional
phase to higher standards and the need for bridging the gaps, districts should not be rushed or pressured
into decisions about acceleration.
This session is to offer a foundation for discussions and decisions in four major areas:
• the increased rigor of standards and tight progression of skills throughout middle school;
• more appropriate options for pathways that allow students to reach advanced mathematics courses such
as Calculus by grade 12.
• the offering of high school mathematics (Algebra I) in middle school to students for when it is
appropriate.
