Description

As more teachers look to add high-yield tasks to their repertoire, the struggle to make it all work becomes real. Let's examine how problem-based lessons can be used throughout the scope of a unit and how we can harness their power to move student thinking forward. We'll identify strategies and explore some tasks that help us find a healthy balance between application, conceptual understanding, and procedural fluency. Workshop Outcomes: Engage in grade-appropriate modeling tasks and understand how the implementation of low-entry, high-scalability tasks can be used to reach all students.Explore the use of 3-act tasks as regular practice and identify when these lessons can be used throughout the scope of a unit.Understand how 3-act tasks and problem-based lessons can be used within the instructional framework (opening, work session, close), and the purposeful moves to orchestrate an effective closing session.Identify ways in which problem-based lessons can be used to monitor student growth.Connect 3-Act Tasks to conceptual learning and application and identify how this approach is instrumental in developing procedural fluency.Graham Fletcher Website: https://gfletchy.com/ Audience: TK-6 mathematics educators Cost: $20 refundable deposit per participant.
