Math Camp

For the last four days, I've been attending probably one of the best workshops I've ever seen! 
Math Camp 2012
I'm a big fan of Kim Sutton! I've been to 2 of her workshops so they are always sending me emails when they come to Texas. In the small case you've never heard of Kim Sutton...you should definitely find out who she is. (Or click the picture below) She's like a Marilyn Burns or Debbie Diller.  The way she teaches math is unbelievable. Just about all the math teachers at my school use her ideas, activities, or products, and they are so beneficial in our classrooms. If you ever get the opportunity to go to anything put on by Creative Mathematics (her company) DO IT! ...and no, no one told me to say this. It's just my and a million others opinion. :)


Like I've said, I've been to 2 other Kim Sutton workshops. When signing up for Math Camp, I was a little bummed that my grade level was with another teacher and I wasn't able to be with Kim. BUT...the minute we started I knew why this guy was traveling with Kim Sutton. I loved my teacher, Paul Agranoff.


 The ideas and strategies he gave us were phenomenal!! I am so excited to start getting all my new ideas together...and "Katie-ify" them. :) Over the next few days/ weeks I have blogs planned sharing ideas we learned at camp. I did get Paul's permission to share his ideas...so please take what you want and continue to share them.
