Description

Young students can have meaningful math discussions. Learn how to make this happen! After a year and a half of survival mode teaching and learning, we need to help our students (re)learn how to engage in productive classroom discourse. In this workshop, participants will learn specific teaching strategies that get students talking about (and loving) math! Specifically, teachers will learn… Day One activities that are guaranteed to have all students engage in mathematical discussions at their levelTackling “basic facts” without tearsStrategies for facilitating productive number talks and geometry talksStrategies for facilitating productive small group interactions and specific recommendations for grouping studentsHow to get students to explain their own reasoning AND to LISTEN to their peers.How every math lesson can be filled with opportunities for authentic mathematical problem solving.Join us for a fun and interactive day with Dr. Diana Underwood, Associate Professor of Math Education, Purdue University Northwest.
