Everyday
Mathematics is a comprehensive preK-6th grade mathematics
curriculum developed by the University of Chicago School Mathematics
Project, and published by Wright Group McGraw-Hill. At present,
the Everyday Mathematics curriculum does not have a strong
technology component.
Using technology with Everyday Mathematics will build
student confidence, demonstrate real life experiences to the student,
make math come to life and active, encourage higher-order thinking
skills for problem-solving, and much more. Accordingly, the Southern
Regional ETTC (ETTC) has developed a 30-hour professional development
series on technology integration to support the Everyday Mathematics
curriculum.
Building on the EM principles, Integrating Technology into Everyday
Mathematics (ITEM) will focus on the integration
of technology with teaching strategies, classroom activities,
and community connections. ITEM workshops can be conducted onsite
at interested districts who have started implementing Everyday
Mathematics as well as offsite facilities. Workshops can
be scheduled to meet the in-service and other scheduling needs
of participating districts.
ITEM
will complement many features of the Everyday Mathematics
curriculum. These include: real-life problem solving, balanced
instruction, multiple methods for basic skills practice, emphasis
on communication, enhanced home/school partnerships and appropriate
use of technology.

ITEM
will encompass six days of training. Workshops include:
