Build your schedule - Be sure to read the descriptions!: Please note that adding a session to your schedule DOES NOT guarantee you a seat in the room. We allow attendees to select multiple sessions per time slot when creating their schedule to allow for maximum flexibility on the day of Convention. All sessions are first come, first served, unless otherwise stated in the session description. Some sessions are double sessions and some require pre-registration and may have a fee to cover costs of materials. Please read and follow the instructions in the descriptions. We are excited to include several off-site sessions this year, so be sure to check the location as well.

3. New schedule - There are four time slots when sessions are held on each day. Sessions are 70 minutes long and there is 20 minutes between sessions to allow time to get to the other venue(s) if necessary.
Session 1: 9am-10:10am

Lunch 11:40am-12:40pm

Come prepared to play and learn games that help teach and support the following concepts: place value including decimals, fractions, operations including multi-digits, graphing, problem-solving and probability. The handout will contain gameboards for immediate use, ideas for differentiating the activities and assessment opportunities.

Session Objectives:
1. Participants will learn 10 - 15 domino math games that can be used immediately in their classrooms
2. Participants will learn management strategies for both whole class instruction and center/small groups
3. Participants will learn how to differentiate the games to meet the needs of both strugglers and students that need to be challenged.
