Teaching on the Edge of Understanding and at the Speed of Learning
Oct. 11, 2022, 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.

There are many things to consider when we engage students in mathematics. What makes our task extremely difficult is that we teach a specific age of students that function and think in multiple grade levels. This makes differentiation seem impossible but it doesn鈥檛 need to always feel this way. Let鈥檚 explore how the purposeful use and sequence of the right tasks can unlock what students know and inform our next move in the progression of learning.
This workshop is intended for educators who support K-3rd grade students. Participants are expected to participate fully.

As more teachers look to add high-yield tasks to their repertoire, the struggle to make it all work becomes real. Let鈥檚 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鈥檒l identify strategies and explore some tasks that help us find a healthy balance between application, conceptual understanding, and procedural fluency. This workshop is intended for educators who support students in grades 3-8 (*focus on grades 3-6 fraction standards).
