(1 semester academic unit)
 REQUIREMENT: All students who enroll in this course must have taken the Making Math Real: Overview course within the last 3 years.
This is the one and only Making Math Real course for learning and applying the 9 Lines symbol imaging mental organizer for developing automaticity with the multiplication facts. The 9 Lines is the most crucial Making Math Real unifying system for connecting elementary content to higher-level mathematics through algebra and calculus. This 2-day course provides the most comprehensive instructional coverage for acquiring the specific language, sequencing, assessment points, applied practice, and daily maintenance for correctly and successfully applying the 9 Lines.
This essential course for parents and educators is a comprehensive, in-depth investigation that shows how to maximize the success of the 9 Lines© strategy and to integrate it into the daily classroom or home experience. Course participants will learn how to use the 9 Lines mental organizer in direct application to multiplication, division, fractions, number theory, whole number factoring and factoring polynomials. The 9 Lines mental organizer is a key component within the structure of mathematics that spans elementary through algebraic development. In addition to symbol imaging development, The 9 Lines strategy goes far beyond the multiplication facts. It is a crucial mental organizer designed to image and connect lowest terms, equivalent fractions and greatest common factor. Topics include learning the precise structure and language for imaging the 9 Lines, daily maintenance and re-imaging, special cases for imaging, multiple ways to interact with the 9 Lines, condensed versions for re-imaging, whole number factoring strategies and applications, lowest terms, equivalent fractions and greatest common factor, and developing synthesis through high-interest games. These techniques are designed to reach the full diversity of learning styles. Extensive color-coding is a critical element of the program. Please bring 4 colored markers or pencils in blue, green, red and black.
