Are you struggling with ways to increase number sense for your students? Do you want to increase discourse and engagement? This session will leave you with various routines that will give meaning to mathematical tasks and equip teachers with the knowledge and skills they need to engage students.
Have you always wanted to try a new math routine, but getting started seemed more challenging than you thought? Come hear about this awesome routine, how we collaborated to plan for sessions, figured out where to go next, and the amazing results we saw when we decided to just take that first step!
Join me as we look at the power that comes when we ditch traditional introductory lessons & give students control. I’ll show how one simple question can give insight into students’ understanding. We’ll also do math explorations to see how letting students grapple with new concepts propels learning.
I'm a 14th year teacher with a master's in math education with a passion for all things math. I love getting my kids to love math through games and tackling tough concepts in hands on and engaging ways.
