First Time to CAMT?
Welcome to CAMT! We hope that while you are here, you
discover ways to become a better educator, and you find the
support you need from our community.
First Timer’s Reception
Monday, July 21, from 3:30 p m.– 5:00 p.m. at the Belt Buckle
on the 1st floor, Convention Center. Come meet other First
Timers and learn more about CAMT!
Information Booth
The Information Booth is located at Conference Registration
in Exhibit Hall B. Come by any time during conference hours
for helpful information.
Website
The CAMT website, www.camtonline.org, has general
conference information, a posting of exhibitors, program
information, and information directed to First Timers.
Staff
The CAMT board, volunteers, and program committee (all
designated by ribbons on their name tags) are always available
to answer your questions.
Making the Most of Your Conference Experience:
• Make an effort to engage with someone else. Introduce
yourself to the person waiting in line with you or sitting next
to you in a session. Taking the time to focus on others opens
our mind to new ideas.
• Try sitting in different areas of the room rather than always
sitting at the front or the back of the room. If you change
where you are sitting throughout the day, you create a
different context for yourself—things look different, they
sound different.
• Pay attention—thinking is hard work. Don’t try to multi-task.
• In the breaks between sessions, reflect back over the last
session and summarize a key idea. Write it down.
Professional Credit
Fill out the form located in your program book. Make a copy
of it, and turn it in to your school. There is also a Certificate of
Attendance located in the program book, but it is not sufficient
to count as professional development credit. CAMT does not
keep records of your professional development credit.

The sessions at CAMT present a variety of viewpoints. The views expressed or implied in the sessions should not be interpreted as official
positions of CAMT. References to particular commercial products by a speaker should not be construed as a CAMT endorsement of said
product(s). CAMT reserves the right to change speakers, change facilities, or modify program content.
Sessions are to provide participants with information they can use in their profession and are not to be used to sell a product. Speakers
who disregard the Speaker Guidelines and use their session to sell a product will have their session stopped. Participants should report
violations to the program committee or the registration desk.
The CAMT Catalog is funded by the Conference for the Advancement of Mathematics Teaching.

To provide equal opportunity to sessions for each attendee, it
is the policy of the CAMT Board that rooms are to be cleared
of all participants at the end of each session. The Board
respectfully requests voluntary compliance with this policy.
We have made every attempt to provide adequate seating
for participants at the conference, but for your safety and
due to fire regulations, only those with seats will be allowed
in meeting rooms. To comply with fire codes, it will be
necessary to ask any person sitting on the floor or standing to
leave the room.
Please remember:
All meeting rooms will be cleared between presentations.
All seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Reserving spaces in line or saving seats is not permitted.
Persons with disabilities and their assistants do not have
to clear the session room as others do.

Inquiry and Student-Centered Instruction
Math classrooms are known to our students as many things but
they’re not often known as curious places or places where curiosity
is prized. The presenter will describe practical lessons from research
for developing classes that are curious places and students who are
curious for new mathematics.

Continuing Professional Education Credit
The State Board of Educator Certification (SBEC) has approved
CAMT as a provider of Continuing Professional Education
Credit (CPE). Credit will be available for all conference
sessions for the exact number of minutes of the sessions (if a
session is 60 minutes, you will receive 60 minutes of credit).
Although attending exhibits is a valuable component of the
CAMT experience, no CPE credit is awarded for this activity.
If you are interested in receiving CPE credit:
1. Use the CPE credit form provided in the program book
(p.69). This form provides certification of attendance and
credit. In accordance with state requirements, separate
certificates will not be issued.
2. Complete the questions on the form. Forms will not be
checked/stamped by CAMT staff.
3. Take the form with you as you leave the conference.
The completed CPE form is your proof of attendance.
CAMT does not keep records of your CPE forms.
(The CPE form is located on page 69)

(see page 11 for instructions)

Arena, Convention Center
see below for
presenters and
topics
On each of three half days of the conference, elementary teachers
(K-5) will have the opportunity to attend different sessions, for a
total of 16 different MATH-A-RAMA sessions at CAMT 2014.
The theme for all of the sessions will be Measurement. Each day,
a different set of 25-minute sessions will be repeated, so that a
participant may attend all sessions in any order. Participants who
do not want to attend every MATH-A-RAMA session may enter
and leave MATH-A-RAMA during the 5-minute breaks between
sessions. See you there!
Creativity, Innovation, Problem Solving… buzz words no longer!
To meet the complexities of today’s world, our educators and
students need more than skills—they need Habitudes! Successful
students, workers, and citizens have identifiable habits and
behaviors which allow them to manage emotions, communicate
effectively, and sustain themselves as independent and successful
lifelong learners. The Habitudes naturally have a home in every
math classroom, as qualities like perseverance and curiosity are
innate to the teaching and study of mathematics. This session
explores intentional lessons and conversations that nurture and
develop these habits and attitudes that ensure our students’ success
far beyond our classrooms.

Take Your Time
Students will measure length to the nearest whole unit recording
it using a numeral and a unit. Students will use measurements to
create and answer comparison questions.
Richardson ISD
Students will understand that elapsed time can be represented using
a number line and that activities can happen over a period of time,
including time that elapses within the hour and across hours.

Angles: Lay It All On the Line
The Long and Short of It
Students will use a protractor to measure angles to the nearest

Math Teachers Have The Habitudes
Why We Save
Creativity, Innovation, Problem Solving… buzz words no longer!
To meet the complexities of today’s world, our educators and students need more than skills—they need Habitudes! Successful students, workers, and citizens have identifiable habits and behaviors
which allow them to manage emotions, communicate effectively,
and sustain themselves as independent and successful lifelong learners. The Habitudes naturally have a home in every math classroom,
as qualities like perseverance and curiosity are innate to the teaching
and study of mathematics. This session explores intentional lessons
and conversations that nurture and develop these habits and attitudes
that ensure our students’ success far beyond our classrooms.
This session will provide a story and lesson on how to distinguish
between a deposit and a withdrawal, how to develop the understanding that saving is an alternative to spending, and learn how money
saved can accumulate into a larger amount over time.

Curiosity: The Fuel For Math and Learning Success
Curiosity is one of the most significant aspects of human capability. It fosters creativity and innovation, and it has been linked with
intelligence, happiness, and success across school and life. But
often, the years of structured curriculum, task-focused objectives,
and emphasis on right answers take a toll on even the most curious
of minds. During this session, we will explore how to capture,
cultivate, and create math classroom environments where the questions, not the answers drive our learning. The future belongs to the
curious; the ones who are not afraid to try it, explore it, poke at it,
question it, and turn it inside out.

colleagues, assessment and instruction become intertwined, as one
informs the other. Participants will actively engage in viewing and
discussing assessment and instructional clips from the primary
classroom. Participants will also explore ways for the teacher to
easily access and reference information about student thinking that
may impact the sophistication of children’s solution strategies.
Calendar time…177 days of boredom, redundancy, and wasted time.
Instead of yawns and singing the “Days of The Week” song over
and over again, engage your learners with new and exciting strategies! Get out from the front of the class and become a facilitator of
learning! Transform the one-man show into a symphony of mathematicians! Learn about Roll a 6, Character Boogie Boards, What’s
the Question, and so many more strategies to wake up the brain!

Learning the Language of Mathematics in the Early Years
Success with mathematics depends of many factors, such as language that helps young children build a picture of the concepts and
hence understanding. This often occurs through experiences that are
provided to encourage children to use their language and then add
new terms and expressions. This session will focus on the language
for the four mathematics operations and measurement concepts.
Practical classroom examples will be shared.

Rebranding Mathematics: It Just Makes Sense!
An engaged learner masters more content and develops deeper skill
sets. Even more important, students who can articulate their own
thinking become better problem solvers in the academic work and
the real world. Science tells us that engagement is simultaneously
intellectual, academic, and egocentric. John Antonetti takes us on a
journey through the latest brain research in a humorous, interactive
workshop that integrates strategy, thinking, and engagement—truly
a 3-dimensional approach to look at what makes each of our math
students unique. John integrates the latest research of John Medina’s
Brain Rules with action research from thousands of classrooms
across North America. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You may leave with
a new understanding of your students (as well as yourself).
The biggest problem with problem solving is problem finding. Join
John Antonetti as we continue to find ways to engage learners in
mathematical personal response. No fuzzy math here, just opportunities for learners to make sense, hypothesize, attack, and connect
problems in the secondary math classroom. Using an approach John
and his colleagues call “content bookends,” this session will explore
how mathematical thinking is facilitated, discovered, rebranded, and
then connected.

the Facts, multiplication will be used as an area model by making
square "table tops" and recording their dimensions of length and
width and total number of squares. Construction of oblong or rectangular "table tops" will complete the multiplication table of facts
up to 9X9 to provide an area model and then Stack The Facts. Area
Codes provide an experience with rectangular arrays and Base Ten
Blocks. Ones, tens, and hundreds used to construct the rectangular regions and counting the area is easily accomplished. Partial
products are used to make sense of the partial product as they are
represented visually.

Visual Vocabulary—Are They Getting the Picture?
Building a Solid Foundation in Number Sense
Your students seem to understand math concepts during hands-on
activities but don't test well. Is vocabulary the problem? Math terms
with multiple meanings could be muddying the waters. Learn how
using powerful visuals mnemonics and easy strategies to intentionally focus on vocabulary during math instruction can make a huge
difference.
Do you have students counting on their fingers to add? What those
students lack is number sense. Number sense can't be taught, it
has to be experienced. So come experience activities involving a
MathRack, number path, and subitizing that will help develop your

The 5E’s (Engagement, Exploration, Explanation, Elaboration, and
Evaluation) is a teaching model that emphasizes the idea of expanding knowledge by building upon existing knowledge. Through
inquiry-based learning, students are able to deduce concepts that are
at a level beyond their comprehension. By reasoning out conclusions on their own, students are more likely to retain information
and plant deep fundamental roots that will benefit them through
their entire educational career and beyond. We will discuss how to
create lesson plans based on the 5Es and inquiry-based learning. I

Motivating Students to Learn Through Problem-Based
Learning
Are you tired of hearing, “When will I ever use this?” Problembased learning will help eliminate this question as it teaches content
and problem solving. It incorporates content within a context of
real-world problems that can be solved by students. Students
choose how they approach the problem and eventually solve the
problem, giving them buy-in and the motivation to learn new math
content.

Guidelines for Speakers
Speakers are accepted each year for CAMT by the
Program Committee, subject to CAMT Board approval.
Decisions are based on the guidelines with input from
evaluation of speakers and sessions from previous
meetings. No speaker is guaranteed an opportunity to
speak at CAMT.
Speakers are expected to exhibit a high level of professionalism suitable for professional mathematics education.
Speakers should begin and end their sessions on time.
Speakers should avoid the use of language that could
be construed as sexist or as derogatory toward any
group.
Speakers are not to promote a commercial product for
personal profit or for the profit of others. Commercial
products such as software programs, innovative instructional strategies presented in articles or books, or
specific manipulative materials may be demonstrated if
done in a non-promotional way. Promotional literature/
brochures may not be handed out at the presentation.
Major commercial affiliations of a speaker (relevant to
the presentation) are to be communicated clearly in the
program, in the presentation, and in any printed material given to the participants.
Speakers are encouraged, but not required, to provide
participants with bibliographies or handouts where
appropriate. There should be at least 30 percent more
than room capacity to make sure you have plenty. If
transparencies are used, they should be readable from
any part of a large room.
Speakers are encouraged, but not required, to allow
their session to be taped at the request of a participant
or at the request of the Program Committee.
Participants who have a specific comment on a session
or speaker are encouraged to communicate directly
with a member of the Program Committee or to present
written feedback at the registration desk addressed to
the attention of the Program Committee.
Violations of these guidelines may result in a speaker
not being accepted for future CAMT programs.
