Learning Math: Numbers and Operations
(Video on Demand available from Annenberg Media)
A video- and Web-based course for K-8 teachers
12 half-hour video programs, course guide, and Web site
Learning Math: Number and Operations, a video- and Web-based course for elementary and middle school teachers examines the three main categories in the Number and Operations strand of Principles and Standards of School Mathematics (NCTM) — understanding numbers, representations, relationships, and number systems; the meanings of operations and relationships among those operations; and reasonable estimation and fluent computation. The course covers the real number system, place value, the behavior of zero and infinity, meanings and models of basic operations, percentages, and modeling operations with fractions, often with the aid of concrete, physical models that enhance understanding. It also examines Basic Number Theory topics, such as factors and multiples, as well as divisibility tests, at both practical and abstract levels. Accordingly, parts of the Number and Operations course may be more challenging than other Learning Math courses.
The course consists of 10 approximately two-and-a-half-hour sessions, each with a half hour of video programming, problem-solving activities provided online and in a print guide, and interactive activities and demonstrations on the Web. The 10th session (choose video program 10, 11, or 12, depending on your grade level) explores ways to apply the concepts of number and operations you've learned in your own classroom.

A Missing Link: Essential Concepts for Middle School Math Teachers
(Video on Demand from Annenberg Media)
A video workshop on TIMSS core concepts for middle school math teachers; 8 one-hour video programs, workshop guide, and Web site
Recent studies show that once American students reach middle school, they begin to fall behind the students of many other countries in mathematical understanding and achievement. This video workshop familiarizes you with four concepts that have been identified by TIMSS (the Third International Mathematics and Science Study) as crucial to your students' future success. You’ll come to better understand the content of these math topics through demonstration of instructional techniques that show you how to involve your students in their own learning. In the “Discovery” session of each topic-pair, Master Teacher Jan Robinson (from the First in the World Consortium) leads the on-camera learner-teachers as they investigate a series of problem-based activities. The learner-teachers customize and expand upon these lessons in their own classrooms, and return with samples of their students’ work. In the “In Practice” sessions, they report on their experiences, evaluate the student work, and develop new instructional and assessment techniques.
