Intensive Stern Math Workshops in the Structural Arithmetic Program Are Offered Every Summer
Temple Ary, M.A. and KC Genzmer, M.A., in consultation with Margaret Stern, Alison Lankenau and The Parkside School, will present a series of workshops demonstrating the Structural Arithmetic program. This program encourages children at the beginning stages of math education:
- to discover mathematical concepts with manipulatives
- to develop computational facility
- to enhance problem solving abilities
The Structural Arithmetic Program, developed by Catherine Stern, Margaret Stern and Toni Gould for over six decades, is a renowned standard for effective mathematics instruction. It equips teachers with a multisensory, structured, systematic and thorough program that gives children a strong foundation for attaining higher level skills.
This workshop series includes demonstrations of the Structural Arithmetic materials and activities including games, videotape viewing and hands-on practice. Because Parkside offers these workshops only one time during the year, and enrollment in each session is limited to 20 attendees, we urge early registration.
